    Read some helpful reviews of A-1 Self Storage, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

    so my stuff was safe here and honestly this was a WAY better experience than I thought it would be. first off the guy at the counter was super patient while I asked like twenty questions about sizes, didnt get annoyed at all which is rare. I had to get some boxes tommorrow actually but they let me hold the unit and pay later which helped out alot. place felt clean and I definately felt like my things were secure while I had them there. if I move again, I already know where im going, it just made dealing with that whole headache so much nicer. ...

    Updated review: The facility is great, prices are reasonable, staff is helpful and the hours are much better than my previous storage center. Jaz was a lovely person to deal with on a few occasions and extremely personable, a huge asset to the team. Diana in management was also very reasonable and quick to communicate with me regarding an issue I had with my contract. All things considered, I’m satisfied with the team and facilities here. I would only recommend to do your due diligence and fully understand the contents of your contract and rate increases prior to signing. Thank you A1. ... Read more
