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

    Loretta in the office is amazing. However, my access wouldn't work on my moving day which was a Sunday. The website has no after hours contact number listed, this cost me an extra day of truck rental asking with extra fees from the truck rental company, I also had to pay my movers for an extra day. They offered no compensation to me for this at all. To be fair there is an after hours number posted on the office door which is not visible unless you walk up to the door. I however did not walk to the door because, I knew the office was closed and, that info should be listed on the website in my opinion. I also have a minor issue with the fact that you have to put your code in when exiting, this is just a personal preference for me and doors not affect my rating but, having to put the code in to leave is just an annoyance as the keypad isn't exactly easy to reach in a normal vehicle. Again, that has nothing to do with my rating just, feedback for the owner. I will say, I'm not sure why I had to get rental insurance but, whatever. I have noticed other reviews staying the office staff is rude and mentioning how expensive they are. Sentinel is competitively priced being right in the middle, have late access hours and, most importantly, have a polite, professional and, knowledgeable desk agent in Loretta. ... Read more
