Read some helpful reviews of Stow-A-Way Self Storage at 616 Canal Street, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Recently, I was going through the most stressful time in my life and needed storage immediately. While shopping around I came across Stow-A-Way mini storage in San Rafael. They're clean, and I know my things are secure. Their deals are great, and the staff that I met with was amazing. The manager, Eva, was so kind and compassionate. She not only cares about this place, she cares about you! ... Read more

The place is good but way overpriced... The staff has consistently been most helpful and attentive. I moved in to a large unit in 1995 and moved out 2025. I could not continue to pay the exorbitant prices. I believe we started at about $150 per month and moved out when it hit $550 per month. I will miss the staff as they were a bright spot in visiting the storage. Larry Murray ... Read more

Eve was professional and courteous. The location is clean and the access is secure and private. The only storage unit with a private boat dock! I would recommend to anyone looking for a nice place and the best value in town. ... Read more

I’ve had storage units at a few different places over the years, but I’ve never had customer service like this. The manager, Brendan, is incredibly helpful, professional, and genuinely cares about the people renting here. He answered all my questions with patience, walked me through the rental process, and made sure I got the best unit for my needs. The property is always clean, secure, and well-maintained. You can tell he takes pride in his work. I feel super confident storing my things here knowing it’s being managed by someone this responsible and attentive. Highly recommend! ... Read more

Easily accessible and clean. Perfect fit for our needs and Jessica made our move in a piece of cake.... she ensured our 10'x10' unit was cleaned (re-sweeping it herself!)... The available carts also made a big difference moving our stuff in???? ... Read more
Matt S. - 7 September 2024
Terrible, continuously raising rental fee and blaming it on inflation, place is dirty, mouse problem realized after starting to move out because of continuous rate increases. The elevator lift is a joke as it doesnt go to floor and most of the dollies/carts were in terrible condition. For as much as they charge on an open air, non climate controlled old dirty facility they should consider tearing that place down and rebuilding with a flood resistant 5 story facility, keeping the entire first floor(ground level) for parking and have a REAL elevator that goes all the way to floor so you can actually roll your cart into elevator. I made it two stars only because it was convenient location, the stair slope was better than average and onsite representatives were nice. ... Read more

The five stars is only in memory of the previous manager Leslie. She is a fantastic human being and the only reason I stayed for the 7 years I did. After quite a nasty experience with an employee of the management company, I promised her I would leave when she did and I have. A little delayed, but without her this place cannot be the same. The new property management company kept bumping my rent up until it had gone up 100 percent. Now that they have lost Leslie's charm, I was only left with the sting of the price. Wherever she is, I wish her only pure joy and health in her life. Truly a genuine person with a heart of gold. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Stow-A-Way Self Storage - 616 Canal Street has to offer. These amenities include Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Elevators, First Floor Access, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment. Most of these amenities can prove to be very useful depending on what you need to store. For example, climate-controlled units can come in handy for keeping sensitive items, drive-up access can make your loading and unloading process easier, and extra security measures will ensure your items are kept safe at all times.

The storage units offered by Stow-A-Way Self Storage - 616 Canal Street can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 40 to 418 square feet. You can go for smaller units if you don't have a lot of items to store, while choosing a larger space is recommended in case you need to store a lot of furniture, bigger items or even vehicles.

The unit size that you should choose obviously depends on how much stuff you need to store. On the one hand, you should think of smaller units (5'x5' or 5'x10') as closets – they can be used to store chairs, lamps, moving boxes and sports equipment, along with smaller pieces of furniture, books and documents.

On the other hand, the 10'x10' and 10'x15' spaces are good for storing larger items of furniture, bicycles and a larger number of possessions. If you need even more space, then 10'x20' and 10'x30' units can easily accommodate the contents of an entire 3- or 4-bedroom house.

Storage units offered by Stow-A-Way Self Storage - 616 Canal Street come at a variety of prices, starting from $139 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $1,469 a month.

We know that when it comes to self storage, there is nothing more important than quickness and accessibility. Drive-up access is an extremely convenient amenity, as you can park your vehicle right next to your unit, making it significantly easier to load and unload the items you will use storage for. However, drive-up storage units tend to be outdoors, so you might consider indoor storage spaces with climate control if you're looking to keep temperature-sensitive items in peak condition.

Yes, you might, depending on what you need to put in storage. Climate-controlled spaces keep temperatures and humidity levels consistent all the time, which means they are perfect for storing sensitive items. Seeing that a whole host of things can be damaged by varying temperatures and excessive moisture, many people choose to rent climate-controlled units for personal items such as documents, photographs, paintings, collectibles, electronics, wooden furniture, antiques and even vehicles. If you're looking to store such items that are valuable to you, consider renting a climate-controlled unit!
