    Very happy about how easy it was to get a space and they prorated my rent for April, which was very nice. This is the second time I have used this storage facility and I feel good about the safety of my belongings in the climate controlled units. Also safety is a big issue for me and they have cameras everywhere as well as lights that turn on throughout the entire building so I never have to use my phone flashlight. ... Read more

    I can't even write enough to say how thankful we were to have found this storage facility! Easy to work with, extremely helpful, and always responsive if we needed anything. We continuously changed how many units we needed and when we needed them. The team at City Storage worked with us as we navigated through 3 moves and way too much stuff!!! Hands down, the best service ever! I would give it more than five stars if it were an option! ... Read more

    I've had the same unit with City Storage for almost 2 years now! After comparing prices to space, and considering location and easy accessibility for over a month, I checked out an available unit here first. I immediately knew it was the perfect place for my storage needs! I'm incredibly grateful to say that I have NEVER had any issues or trouble with anything at all since that day in 2021!!! Benjamin is an exceptionally excellent owner/manager. He will help out with any needs from scheduling payments to showing spaces. Mr. Moore even contacted me directly once to let me know that the lock on my unit was locked, but it had not been locked into the door! He let me know that he noticed it during a walk through! That kind of management just isn't happening in most places anymore, and I'm glad to have a place that I trust with my irreplaceable items to stay safe and insured!!! (* I pay a flat $5 fee/month through City Storage that covers my insurance through them, however they allow you to opt to go through your own insurance company if you so choose.) Thank you so much Benjamin Moore and City Storage!!! I truly appreciate you! ... Read more
