    Absolutely love Heather. She is great at having information and how to organize/pack stuff into your unit. She has a wonderful smile and just a pleasure to work with when we needed a storage unit. Thanks Heather. ... Read more

    This was a great option; it is very clean and easily accessible. However, new management is in place, and my rent went up $20 to $185 per month. If it were climate-controlled, I could justify the price increase, but I cannot justify the cost. Some had price increases of an additional $93.00 per month. It's simply not worth it. ... Read more

    I was helping my friend move and Heather recommended damp-rid for the unit. I went back this weekend and noticed how well it worked. Heather was really helpful and friendly. She welcomes everyone with a warm smile. I will forever recommend this location. The units are clean and they take pride in their property. Thank you for your help, Heather. ... Read more

    Storage Sense is a great place to store belongings safely. The registration process is super easy and the staff is super helpful and friendly. We went at 5pm on a weekday and the manager on duty stayed after hours until we got everything sorted out. She answered all of our questions and was super patient with us as we tracked down the information we needed to register. They even have things on site for purchase that you might need like boxes, locks, and other materials. They’re also one of the most reasonably priced units in town and the unit itself does the job! ... Read more

    Abbi Perez is great. The registration process was easy, the storage unit is clean, and the gate app makes it so easy to enter. The price can't be beat, especially with the 2nd month being free. Highly recommend Storage Sense. ... Read more
    Mike - 4 February 2025
    Good service but not being open Sunday when that's one of my only days off was really difficult, so I had to make a transition to a cheaper one that was open all the time. Needed to be able to access my things when it was convenient for me, as I'm the one paying. But good service overall. ... Read more
