    I couldn't decide on where to store my prized possessions while I will be halfway across the world. MONIQUE was awesome and very much attentive to any questions and concerns that I had. She made sure that I was fully informed on all aspects in regards to me renting a storage unit for my first time. I left feeling at ease and confident that my prized possessions will be safe and secure. Thank You for the hospitality! ... Read more

    Been going here for 2-3 years and they MAXIMIZE the rent when they can and literally CALL YOU THE DAY THE INVOICE IS DUE despite having a grace period. No other company harasses you as much for storage nor is this greedy. AVOID at all costs. ... Read more

    Fast and friendly service. The office manager explained all the costs up front and explained how everything worked thoroughly. The original unit was way in the back of the facility but was able to find me a unit toward the front upon my request because I have an infection in my knee and walking on it extensively is painful. The facility was very clean and accessible. Would definitely recommend this company to my family and friends. ... Read more

    I’ve been using them for a while now. It’s climate controlled and has newer features. Automatic lighting, key pad access, clean, and a freight elevator. I moved in because it was closer to home than the previous unit. I’m fortunate enough to be able to go during the week when it slow. If you go during peak times expect no parking and no carts to use. They even gave up parking in front to the neighboring business. Nowhere to throw any trash and a very slow elevator that is sometimes held up by people while loading/unloading. The location while close can be difficult to get into and out of. It still works for us due to our schedule. ... Read more
