Debra S. - 4 October 2025
This place is garbage. From day 1. It is run down, the lights hardly work, there is no push carts and in fact a step in order for me to get to my unit. It's not air controlled (which I was aware of, but with the huge price increase, you'd think it would be). In the 4 months that I've had it, the gate has worked maybe twice, as it was always broken and open. The kicker... I went to make my payment today, and was told that my monthly fee went from $14 to $39 PLUS the insurance cost. So from $26 a month to $51. She said I was notified via mail and proceeds to pull out a small postcard (one that had actually been returned by someone else's mail carrier). I can assure you that never made it to my house either. I asked if I could move all of my belongings out today, and she said my code wouldn't work until this month's payment is made. I get that storage is not cheap, but if you are looking for a deal.. this place isn't worth saving a few extra bucks. Especially with the 100% increase in price after a few months. ADDITIONALLY.. she told me they are allowed to raise prices up to $99 at one time!!! ... Read more

Super kind ladies- took their time to explain everything to me in a kind & respectful manner, including answering what I thought were some dumb questions (first time getting a storage unit anywhere, so unfamiliar territory.) Easy & convenient to get to, both location & self service hours. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that SmartStop Self Storage - 1001 Toll Gate Road has to offer. These amenities include Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Truck Rentals, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, First Floor Access and Online Payment. Most of these amenities can prove to be very useful depending on what you need to store. For example, climate-controlled units can come in handy for keeping sensitive items, drive-up access can make your loading and unloading process easier, and extra security measures will ensure your items are kept safe at all times.

The storage units offered by SmartStop Self Storage - 1001 Toll Gate Road can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 40 to 400 square feet. 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.

Storage units offered by SmartStop Self Storage - 1001 Toll Gate Road come at a variety of prices, starting from $35 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $316 a month.

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!
