Cindy G. - 6 June 2026
The 5' by 10' advertised units are actually 4.5' by 7.5'. They could not fit a full sheet of plywood which is 4' by 8'. When I questioned the lady about the size of the unit, she said the measurements on the website are "approximate." My wife is 5' 2". By their logic, my wife is approximately 7 feet tall. They moved us to a larger unit, but of course, we had to pay the higher price. Make sure you can actually fit what you need to store. The ceilings are also only 7.5' tall. The prices are good, but you are not paying for what you think you are. ... Read more

Five stars only because Madison is a rockstar. This company is beyond blessed to have her. I hope they know that. ?? Aside of her, definitely think twice before you rent a unit here. Granted, the new company may not be as shady as the previous owner. So, I do hope that apparent planned improvements combined with Madison's hard work and dedication will really make this property all it is capable of. Just tread lightly. After 4 price hikes in less than 2 full years and their misrepresentation of their unit's quality, I am out a lot of money...and almost everything I own. In a perfect world, I would be compensated or reimbursed for my loss. That said, do not accept that scam insurance they offer. It is exactly that. Just go to wherever you have your car policy through and bundle on a renter's policy. Do yourself that favor. Again, 5 stars only as Madison is amazing! ... Read more

Very bad experience with this facility. I set up auto payment on my credit card. When I decide to check out, I notified the staff about 1 month ahead and check out 1 day before the end of the term and notify the staff again to cancel my auto payment. But they still charge me the rent despite I have moved everything out. I tried to call the staff, the corporation customer service, and to talk to the stall on site. Every time they said "You are all set" but they did nothing. It wastes my time that much. ... Read more

Everything was ok until about 2 months ago. The Property manager that opened this location is gone. >I was locked into the facility during the DAY because of gate issues right before manager left. >Gate not working at all for over 7 weeks so very limited hours 11-6 to access your unit. You were verbally instructed to leave if you were there between 545-6. >gate finally partially fixed this week doesn't close every time so property partially unsecured >People living in units & using bolt cutters to break into the property. (I sent pics of mess and tent) Supposedly this has been addressed >My autopay credit card was reverted to an old card number so account went into past due eviction status >Today I received a request for my insurance coverage. A physical copy has been provided twice it hasn't changed or lapsed. Assuming a new backdoor way to force paying for unnecessary insurance >Door is poorly aligned so locking and unlocking is difficult requested multiple times for a fix but was told I would need to wait until the newness wears off and it will get easier?!? It hasn't >No lighting inside units >Oh let's not forget increase in rate within just a few months of renting when it was implied my rate would not go up for awhile ...Not sure what's going on, I did call "corporate" about gate since no one was at the property. They couldn't help...new person onsite finally said they haven't been trained and aren't sure what to do?!? There are plenty of other established storage facilities within a mile or 2. Don't waste your time here. ... Read more

Do not use this company. I got in on a special but they immediately raised my rent without notification, they said they mailed it but I never received anything and this is funny cause all other communications come via email. No one ever answers the phone when you call to try to resolve issues. I tried for a week straight and then finally reached someone in the office. I just moved my stuff out and found that there was moisture damage inside the unit which would have been much worse if it had stayed longer. ... Read more

Highly recommended! Melinda, the woman running the office, was incredibly friendly and helpful. She made the leasing process easy, and she was happy to answer all of the questions I asked. The units themselves are very clean and well kept. I will definitely be using Boxville for all of my storage needs moving forward. ... Read more
