Rob M. - 5 September 2025
Bwware: I wrote a review of a very negative expereince I had with someone who works in this office. In a phone call last week, she asked me to take down the bad review. Even that request was unprofsional now that i think about it. but i removed it. She failed to tell me that my unit is cost is being raised to $100 more than I rented it for 5 months ago. I rented at 1$38 and I am shocked that for Septenber they want $238. They already raised it to $188 and then less than 2 months later they raise it anpothe $50 plus. this is crazy and scammy. so here it is. they will not do you the courtesu of sending you a text or call to tell you, but they do not hesitate to give you rcrazy increases! and I have 2 units there! ...

Chandra was very helpful. Friendly and informative. I reserved the spot after she offered to show me around and make sure it suited my needs then she followed up via phone call and I booked it over the phone with her a couple weeks later. ... Read more

I’m holding off on finalizing my 5-star review until my initial charges are corrected. The charges are currently still pending with my bank, so I’m hopeful this will be a simple fix—pending a decision from the regional manager. I was charged approximately four times the rate I was quoted both online during my reservation and again at the store just 20 minutes later. I was also told this morning that the "first month free" promotion only applies to 10×15 parking spaces, not 10×15 storage units. This contradicts the information I received online, over the phone, and in person at the facility. Additionally, when I returned shortly after completing the transaction to request a receipt, I was told it would be emailed. This prevented me from reviewing the charges on the spot and catching the discrepancy in time to resolve it directly. That said, the facility itself is excellent—clean, dry, spacious, and well-lit, with easy access from both Allen Ave and Long Shoals Rd. The online deals appear to be great, though I recommend confirming all promotional details beforehand. Also, I strongly suggest requesting a printed receipt at the time of payment or paying online during your reservation to avoid any confusion. ... Read more

Aretha is an absolute pleasure to do business with. She is the light of the party! Chandra the manager is wonderful too! They have done such an amazing job at maintaining the facility and providing exceptional customer service. They also have gone above and beyond at staffing. Nick, he is so genuine and so kind and everyone truly cares about each other here. Hands down this has not only been the best experience I've ever had with any storage facility, but one of the best overall guest experiences that I think I've ever had even while working 15 years in hospitality. Thank you everyone at Smart stop for being so wonderful! ... Read more
Gentry D. - 22 February 2025
Aretha is an awesome representative of the SmartStop company! She is cheerful, helpful & knowledgeable! When I rented my first unit ever with SmartStop, Aretha was training as a new employee. I could see then that she was eager to learn the job. Now, just a couple months later she is managing the facility office on Long Shoals Rd., Arden, NC obviously very well! She gives excellent customer service & her demeanor is warm & welcoming. We have rented storage units with a few other places in the past, but this is our first experience with SmartStop, and by far the best. Aretha was a big part of that first impression. She has remained consistent in her helpfulness & excellent customer service! Thank you, Aretha! ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that SmartStop Self Storage - 6 Long Shoals Road has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, First Floor Access, Online Payment and RV Storage. 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 - 6 Long Shoals Road can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 100 to 300 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 - 6 Long Shoals Road come at a variety of prices, starting from $153 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $305 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!
