    They are not answering their phone. They charged me for the month of March, even though I had already paid for it. Despite calling them 20 times, they did not pick up. I am frustrated with this situation. They should do their job correctly. I have already paid for this month, yet they added a new charge and will add a late fee. I have already paid for storage, and I feel like no one is on the line to help me. They even sent me a voice message saying that I didn't answer the phone, but I was already on the phone with their company. It's frustrating that they leave a voice mail when I'm waiting to talk to them. They put a false charge on me when I had already paid for this month, and then added a late fee of $20 as if I didn't pay on time. It's ridiculous. ... Read more

    Overpriced for the size of units. Late fees are astronomical. Customer service is mediocre at best. Many empty units at Sycamore location since Minify took over, and for good reason. Not a company worth patronizing. Cannot wait to find another unit with another, more reasonable company who isn't trying to screw you over to meet their bottom line. There are plenty of cheaper units available from others. Stay away from this one!!! ... Read more

    I had a unit here for over a year- was told move out and move ins were prorated, which later I find out isn’t true. I moved out a few days after the first and ended up not being prorated for the move out. I even spoke with a manager who was no help. These storage units are very overpriced compared to others in the area. Take a few moments to do more research- I wish I would have. I would like to add this in response to what the owner below has stated- I did ask for a manager and they gave me a manager on the phone, so you need to talk to your employees and see who is pretending to be the manager when you aren’t there. This phone call was on 10/7. The “manager” that I spoke with also informed me that they ONLY do pro rates for move ins, so again misinformation from what you are stating below. As far as rates go- the rates are higher for this storage until and anyone looking for good rates with an honest company go to Breezys. The only reason I didn’t was because they were full and they are full because they are a great business. There is a reason Minify has so many vacancies. Don’t be fooled. Also, the rental agreement gets sent to you AFTER you sign up, there’s no office to look at it ahead of time..... ... Read more

    The units are affordable, clean and well kept and the person I spoke to on the phone was very polite and attentive. HOWEVER be aware this facility has no gate, no attendant and no security cameras. Anyone with a pair of bolt cutters can easily cut your lock and access your unit. If you're just storing furniture or things you're not worried about, this a great place and I would definitely recommend. However, if you are storing anything of value, or you just don't want people rummaging through your things, I'd recommend spending the extra on a more secure facility. Learn from my mistake. ...

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The right storage unit size depends on what you plan to store and how much space you need to move around your items.

    5x5 or 5x10 units are great for smaller loads, such as chairs, lamps, small furniture pieces, boxes, books, and documents.

    10x10 or 10x15 units work well for larger furniture, bicycles, appliances, and the contents of a small apartment.

    10x20 or 10x30 units can typically fit the contents of a three-bedroom home, including large furniture and multiple appliances.

    If you’re unsure which size is best, a unit size calculator can help estimate the right fit based on the items you’re planning to store – helping you avoid paying for more space than you need.
