Now that I have finished with this business, I can write this review. I was scared to do so before cause I was unsure of what they might do to my things. So my mother had a storage unit at U store it and she ended up passing away. I went to the storage unit with my death certificate and identification and was told that everything had to be done with the owner I informed them again that the owner was deceased so how could there be any communications with her. at first I couldn’t find the key to the lock and they told me they couldn’t cut it off because I was not the owner, even though I had paperwork stating that I was the executor of her estate and her beneficiary. Continue on and I had to figure out when payment was due because of course storage has to be paid for. At first I was told I could not make payments over the phone because they didn’t take third-party payments, causing me to have to pay a late fee but then as time went on it was OK to make a third-party payment because of course they want my money! Speaking of money, the pricing that they charge for the units is outrageous. Nowhere near was advertised on their site or what you paid at the beginning of a contract. Continue on customer service terrible came in there a few times they told me they couldn’t cut the lock off, cause I was not the owner, very dismissive …blah blah blah. Thank God, I eventually found the key and was able to get into the unit. Now the problem became the hours they post access hours versus office hours yet. I had to come multiple times and was not able to get in during those access hours. What type of storage unit keeps only business hours when people are at work I had to take off work a couple of times just to come in and get things done. I will never use this establishment again. Customer service is horrible. No type of decorum or anything, but not once did they decline the payment they found every way possible to make sure I paid but no way possible to make sure that they gave good customer service not to mention there’s a clause in their contract. If you are one day late with payment, they are able to take over your storage unit. Going through grief and having to deal with these people was a terrible terrible situation. ... Read more

Terrall K. - 25 January 2025
This place is a complete rip off. Their guidelines change to suit the situation. Every time there was any kind of issue, it always involved paying more money. When we decided to move out of the space, which was at the beginning of the month, we were required to pay for the full month in order to move out of the storage space. This was never disclosed when we rented the space. I would recommend searching for another location prior to selecting this one. ... Read more
Teresa M. - 15 December 2024
Worse storage EVER!!! Please make sure you keep an eye open for the date you started your storage!!! They back date it so that you will also miss a day of your grace period They truly don’t deserve one star to be honest The young lady tried to tell me that they process like a credit card!!! And to this day, I’m still trying to figure out HOW?!?!?! Make it make SENSE ... Read more

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.

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!
