Fred M. - 22 September 2025
I have been in these units for over 20 yrs! Since storage sense took over the property is no longer cared for!!!! Overgrowth, pot holes, leaks, rats, cars and trailers left unattended, cars parked limiting access, people living in the units!!! I have called multiple times and they give some crap about bids and nobody wants the job!! However, the good news is they raise the rent every year claiming “rising costs” but don’t put a dime into this property or the units. Also, they are by far and I mean far the most expensive units in the area. Two of my friends and others have bailed since the new ownership!! Deplorable!! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!!! Slum lords no doubt. ... Read more

Being able to do the whole process online and move our stuff in same day was a game changer!! We are in the middle of moving into our new home so not having all the extra stuff we don't need right away taking up space has been a huge help! ... Read more

Very chaotic when trying to get to the unit after renting a unit speaking to someone. Once I got the unit, I found other people's items still in the unit. Very hard to get someone to speak to about it, afterwards. I was unable to use my rented out unit for 5+ days. They prorated some of the costs to mitigate, to make up for my lost time. Essentially, they probably should have done more. Seeing it delayed my movers from doing their job by 6 days. Since then, I haven't had an issue. Time will tell. ... Read more

This company is AWFUL! I would never recommend anyone to come here. I was billed repeatedly for months that were paid in full already, and I had to call over 7 times to speak with the manager in East Haven to try to get this resolved. This is completely unacceptable. My husband and I had been customers for years, but when "Storage Sense" took over and changed management there, it was like a circus trying to get them to understand that I had a zero balance. They told me that "I wasn't the only one this was happening to," and that "It was their system because of the merger." I don't want to hear the excuses as a customer, just fix it and do what's right. I'm over the back and forth like it's a game. You couldn't even give me a free storage unit to use at this point there; they're even still billing me when I paid 100% of what I owed! I want nothing to do with them, and I suggest that everyone avoid the headache and go to Uhaul or somewhere else up the street. Again, this place is terrible. ... Read more

Kelly’s All Purpose storage is the BEST and most professional experience I have ever had with a self storage location. They always go above and beyond to accommodate me and treat me like actual Family. Especially Kelly! She actually takes time to touch base with me and make sure everything is good with the unit. They take great care of the property and it is locked and monitored 24hrs. Everyone has an access code to enter so it’s very safe! ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Storage Sense - 42 Thompson Street has to offer. These amenities include Drive-Up Access, Security Camera, Gate, Unstaffed Location 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 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.

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!
