Read some helpful reviews of American Mini Storage, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Moved in from another facility and couldn’t be happier. Process was smooth, staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Unit and the entire facility is clean and easy to access. Elevator is large, and smells good. Carts are available to help move things. The location is discreet and secure. Appreciate that it is family owned and that the prices are fair without frequently being raised. Highly recommended. ... Read more

I've had a unit here for about 2 years now. So many good things about it keep me storing at AMS. The management and staff are great to work with, always providing outstanding customer service. Jesse, the property manager, runs a tight ship, and is always professional, friendly and helpful. The maintenance is kept up regularly... Always super clean, inside and out. Great people around this place. Prices are very reasonable. Love the location. The security system provides assurance that my belongings are safe at all times. It's been a pleasure doing business with all at American Mini Storage. Highly recommend storing at this facility. Thank you for all you do ! ... Read more

I’m so happy to have found this hidden gem of a storage facility. The staff is helpful and friendly. It’s nice to do business with a smaller company instead of the huge storage companies that don’t really care about their customers. I almost don’t want to review this business because I m not sure I want it to be overcrowded and that small business feel to change. I’m just lucky to have found American Mini Storage. ... Read more

Great staff--always courteous and helpful. Reasonably priced and has a move-in special. Good, out-of-the-way location and security system, and manager lives on the property, so it's not a target. Always clean and well-lit; I feel safe there. American Mini Storage was recommended to me by a friend who had a unit there for almost three years. Because of the way the buildings are constructed, the first floor interior units feel climate controlled -- cool enough to keep a piano in tune in summer. ... Read more
