Read some helpful reviews of Merriman Valley Self Storage at 1640 Akron Peninsula Road, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I had two spaces here for 10 years, one indoor for a classic car and one out for an rv. Initially, the experience was good, but a few years ago a change in ownership occurred to a corporation that is hands off. The long time manager, Nicole, then had unsupervised control. Her husband is the maintenance man, which causes issues with checks and balances. He is extremely unprofessional and temperamental. Bushes along the outside spaces are not maintained. The gate is constantly left open by staff working on or off site, sometimes, for the entire day. Once it was broken and left open for weeks, I had to phone after parts were stolen from my rv for them to fix it. Twice, the gate wouldn't open. Everyone has the same code, which hasn't been updated in years, so past renters have access to an unstaffed facility. Since the change in ownership, the office is never staffed and the phone is not answered. Messages are only sometimes returned. Indoor storage spaces have gaps under the doors, so the inside fills with dust, insects and plant debris. I had a car in mine and had to use a cover as it would be dirty from storage. The facility is on a river and flooded multiple times to the extent that 3 inches of mud filled inside units. Initially, they assisted with unit clean up of inside units. Since the ownership change they didn't, nor did they notify regarding the flooding and accessibility to the facility. I continued to use the facility despite the issues as it was very near my home. After the last flood, it took weeks for them to clear debris from my outside storage, I had to park my RV on a throughway. They had plowed surface stones into the river while removing mud and I would get muddy accessing and hitching the trailer. After weeks of asking when the space would be ready (needed about three wheelbarrows of stone which could have been moved from an adjacent island) I finally caught the maintenance man. He stood on site and said it wasn't mud but silt and would eventually wash away and that they weren't restoring the gravel as they didn't have the equipment. I left a message for Nicole asking for owner contact info, she wouldn't provide the information. She left a message stating they couldn't replace the stones until spring, but that I wouldn't want to move as it would cost twice as much elsewhere. It didn't, my new facility is secure, clean and has actual office staff who are accessible, even after hours. ... Read more

I have a climate controlled unit. I’ve lost my key a few times and they have always been there to help me when needed. The maintenance individual is very responsive. I’m happy with my unit and customer service provided. ... Read more

Revising my review: The units are somewhat expensive for what's being offered. The door doesn't seal well to the ground, so bits of dirt, insects, and other treats get into your unit. The ceiling leaks and partially collapsed, causing my leather furniture to mold. ... Read more
Chip B. - 23 July 2021
Their terrible gate closed on my vehicle. It opens on a sensor from the inside, but does not stay open. They tried to blame me for their bad setup so I took my business elsewhere. Now instead of paying them a few hundred dollars a month for all my storage needs that got one small payment from my insurance company. Great work! ... Read more

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 Merriman Valley Self Storage - 1640 Akron Peninsula Road can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 50 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.

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!
