    They have incredibly friendly service! Faby helped me rent a unit here, it was my first time renting a unit so I had a lot of questions, she was ready and willing to answer any of my concerns! The unit I am renting is spacious, they have great deals and good warranty policies. Faby went the extra mile by helping me get set up with the app they have as well! Thank you for all your help! ...

    This is my first storage unit, and all in all it's a good place. Since I don't have anything to compare it to, I can't say too much about it. Jessica and Eric have both been very nice. My stuff seems safe and happy. Prices seem good, for now, but I'm only in my second month. Even though the website said the price is cheaper online, it isn't. They'll give you the same deal if you go in person. That's what I was told, at least, and that was my experience. ... Read more

    Andrew A. - 6 June 2025
    I had an absolutely fantastic experience signing up for my storage unit, and it was all thanks to Jessica! From the moment I walked in, she was welcoming, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to go over every detail with me, answering all of my questions with confidence and clarity. It was obvious that she really knows her stuff, and that made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Jessica didn’t just help me find a storage unit, she truly sold me on the place. Her professionalism and customer service skills are top-notch. She made sure I understood all my options, walked me through the rental process step by step, and even took the time to explain the security features and policies in a way that gave me complete peace of mind. I never felt rushed or pressured, and she made sure I was getting exactly what I needed. What really stood out to me was her dedication to great service. She went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience, and because of her, I know I made the right choice. Jessica has earned my lifelong business, and I will only recommend this location to others because of the amazing service she provided. If you’re looking for a storage unit and want to work with someone who is friendly, professional, and truly cares about helping customers, Jessica is the person to see! Thank you, Jessica, for making this such an easy and positive experience, you’re the best! ... Read more

    Cellina R. - 31 January 2025
    Great experience renting the unit today! I had reserved online and both Melissa & Kaila worked hard to get me a great deal! Yes, there are always fees, but I really appreciated they went through them (nothing hidden)! That’s an A+ in my books! Not to mention, both Kaila & Melissa were friendly and professional. Hard to fine now-a-days! Highly recommend! ... Read more
