    I had an excellent experience with this self storage facility from start to finish. The units are clean, secure, and very well maintained, which immediately put me at ease.

    Melissa K. - 10 January 2026
    Heather was phenomenal to work with. She made the process of being states away needing access to my father’s unit in the midst of pregnancy as easy as it could be. Once we made it to the unit she continued to be phenomenal, answered all our questions and was so helpful. If we were local to Tempe and needed a storage unit we would 100% be back. My father had this unit for 15 years and it was very clean, no bugs or mice droppings found! Very impressed! ... Read more

    Lauren S. - 11 October 2025
    I can't recommend this location enough! My storage space (5 x 8 I think) was perfectly clean when I unlocked the unit! It was the perfect amount of space for my bike, 6 storage boxes, and several pillows! Everytime I called this location or just the number for ExtraSpace, everyone was so nice! Note, these units don't have AC, so just clear anything that might not do well in 110 degree heat! Additionally, Jose and Heather were wonderful to interact with! Jose was lovely on the phone too and they made my experience that much better! Thank you! ... Read more

    Lily M. - 6 August 2025
    Great staff and great storage! Heather was VERY helpful, friendly and accommodating. The storage is great, I was able to store everything I needed to! Price was higher than expected but that covers insurance and the lock, so I can't complain. The unit itself is clean and spacious (I rented a 10x10), and fit my entire apartment. ... Read more

    Regina M. - 19 March 2025
    One of the companies I work for uses Extra Space Storage, (different location) so i was familiar with their great pricing, and clean facilities. Naturally I would expect no less from their other locations and I was not disappointed with this location on University in Tempe! Top scores on everything. Difference between this location and all the other locations is that this one has Heather! Possibly the most pleasant most helpful customer service person I've ever dealt with. I had minor issue with code working to open the gate, Heather 2002 it fixed for me in under a minute. She's awesome! ... Read more
    Nicole C. - 18 January 2025
    Heather at the Tempe location on University needs an immediate pay raise or bonus. She was incredible kind and helpful with our ASU daughter’s furniture storage in a 5x10–we were so concerned the large couch wouldn’t fit through the locker door, it did like Heather said it would. We need more people like her in the world. THANK YOU, MS. HEATHER!!! ... Read more

    Excellent storage facility! Great Customer Service that’s responsive and helpful. Easy access: Conveniently located on University, less than a mile from the 101 and less than 2 miles from the 202 and McClintock.
