Read some helpful reviews of Ankeny Mini Storage, 705 SE Dalbey Drive, Ankeny, IA 50021, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

This place had gone to hell. It used to be great when it had onsite management, but since it was sold it’s absolute CRAP. All of the ceiling insulation has fallen down in the unit and I have called 3 times to have them fix it. No response. They units are very dated and dirty. They might be cheaper, however no climate control is an issue and dirty insulation falling down is a problem. ... Read more

I've been charged 3 times from them in the last 10 days. I rented a 5x5 which was to small so asked if I could go to a 10x10. They charged me for the 5x5 when I didn't even use it. They then charged me for a 10x10. When I moved into that one the door lock was broken so I couldn't lock it. They then changed me to another 10x10 and charged me for that one. Went to move my stuff into that unit and it was already filled with somebody else stuff so couldn't move into that one. They wanted me to go check out some other available units to see if they were empty. Said I wasn't going to do that because I would get charged again and said they would call me back after talking to a supervisor. I'm sure that won't be happening but will update the review if and when this gets resolved. ... Read more

I had a really wonderful experience with Ankeny Mini Storage. I was referred to them by my sister, and she was right, they are the best place to go for storage. The facilities are great, prices are very reasonable, and the service is top-notch. Ankeny Mini Storage was the most pleasant part of the moving process. Highly recommend. ... Read more

I cannot express enough how happy I am with this astablishments excellent service! I'm blown away on the care and consideration they have for their customers. Jason is so nice and easy to communicate with when trying to figure out the best/right time to rent storage, and works hard to give you the lowest possible pricing available. I wish I was able to give them more stars than five because they have exceeded my expectations enormously! I highly recommend going here for all your storage needs. ... Read more
