Read some helpful reviews of Southwest Storage at 5253 Commercial Drive SW, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I wish there was a zero star. That is what these people are in my opinion. Zeros. The worst experience I've ever had. The ownership has changed and have no customer service. I had a unit that had mice. Moved to a different unit and nothing was done for what I lost. All this time payments are taken out automatic withdrawl. Added a unit so had 2 For a bit while building a house. Went back down to one. Still got charged for 2. Never got refunded for the extra taken out. They then said they would stop the one unit that I moved out of and said they would refund me and send me my deposits. Got deposits back but never got refunded for the month they charged me for the unit I didn't even have. Then on top of it when they stopped the payment on the one unit they must accidently stopped on both so non were getting charged. I got an email saying I was 3 months behind, got charged a late fee and locked out of my unit. On top of that it was blamed on me and my bank. To this day they will not refund me for the late fee or the month I got charged for no unit. I was on the phone they asked if I had the same card the whole time and nothing had changed I told them yes and they charged for the back rent and the next month 4 days early. They asked me to email them an authorization to let take out the payment. I sent no authorization and taken out anyway. Beware. I've rented since they have opened and the new ownership I feel are crooks in my opinion. ... Read more

The storage units offered by Southwest Storage - 5253 Commercial Drive SW can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 50 to 432 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.

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!
