    I had my stuff in a unit and I just moved out of one of them, and alot of my stuff had mice pee and poop everywhere. They had a sign up inside unit stating rodent control. When I told management she stated that there are rat traps outside units. I still have a unit there and I'm hoping when i go there in a few days there's no mice stuff. My mattress got chewed, and couch, plus s few other things. FYI. Always get insurance. ... Read more

    I rented a unit I went there to put my stuff no one answered the phone or buzzer I was at the gate for 20 minutes trying. So when I got ahold of someone I told them I was cancelling the unit since I can't get on the property. They told me I had to do a30 days notice to vacate the unit n pay that months fee. They r a crooked business. I won't tell anyone to go there ... Read more

    Apparently they have no care for security or due diligence. Our unit was ransacked 6+ weeks ago and we never were once contacted about it. The female working was more concerned with her child on her lap than taking me seriously. Our unit was broken into before once but I had trusted her empty promises. She casually mentioned that there was a police case open and they were *GOING* to install cameras.. Lost the AC units needed to cool my newborn child so that's pretty horrible ?? Excuse me when I say they probably do not care about anyone else's units most likely. Simple greed and laziness is the way of things at this location. ... Read more

    AWFUL!!!!! My mother has been paying for a storage unit there for the last 5 years. She recently moved to Arizona to live with me and I’ve been trying to add my brother who lives in Salem to her account so he can clean out her unit. The lady working there refuses to help me and states that I have to come in physically to add him to the account..even though I live out of state and my mother is too elderly and frail to travel! She is rude, unhelpful, and I would absolutely NEVER recommend this joke of a business! ... Read more

    AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. Arrived at my locker on 9/25/2021 to find that my lock was cut and a number of items had been stolen. The manager told me that someone has been cutting locks and stealing items out of lockers since June. They say that they are not responsible and will not offer any compensation for my losses. They have no security system and clearly no control over the business. I had a locker here for 5 years and always thought it was a good place, but the lady who ran it apparently passed away earlier this year and it has clearly gone downhill since. I strongly recommend that you find somewhere else to store your possessions as they are not safe here. ... Read more

    Awesome! This is the only storage facility that I will ever use again!!! First of all, the couple that run this facility, also live at the facility & are extremely vigilant in their caretaker duties... This instilled confidence in my decision to store my belongings here right away .. this is a big deal to me considering a number of years ago at a different unrelated facility, I had my unit broken into & everything I owned stolen & never recovered.. Also, they are extremely meticulous in their upkeep of this place.. Not only is the whole facility absolutely clean & well-kept on the outside, my outside unit has been very well taken care of.. it's so clean, no weird smells or stains, & it has a functioning light with fairly high ceiling height.. also, I pulled a 30 foot enclosed cargo trailer with my SUV & found the aisles more than ample as far as room to maneuver my truck & trailer around in.. lastly, I just want to make sure that I tell you just how far out of the way this couple went on my behalf to not only get me a unit, but the exact size I needed... And, even though the office was closed for the Christmas holiday, they graciously allowed me to not only move in there, but they opened the office & they waited just for me until I got there! Now that is unbeatable customer service & pretty much tells you the kind of people that you're dealing with .. they went above & beyond just to help me out.. They are the nicest couple & I would never even think to go anywhere else, ever again! ... Read more

    The management team at South Salem Mini Storage are really wonderful and have been so helpful to us during and after our move to this area as we found we had not downsized enough! Make no mistake, Harvey and Lorraine are running a business but they are friendly and thoughtful people. The property itself is kept clean and the gates work efficiently which indicates to us they care. ... Read more
