    Read some helpful reviews of Watson-Taylor Self Storage, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

    This location used to be a great budget-friendly option, but it has steadily gone downhill. I had high hopes that things would improve when Otter took over, but unfortunately, that hasn't been the case. Within the last year alone, my rent has increased by about $40 with absolutely zero added benefits. In fact, the facility has become less convenient, as visiting hours are now more restricted. My biggest concern, however, is safety. The surrounding area is riddled with crime and prone to break-ins, and police are on-site several times a week. Despite this, Otter continues to raise prices without adding any necessary security measures. To top it off, customer service is incredibly lackluster. When they make a mistake, they use a fake-friendly tone to shift the blame onto the customer, acting as if they are doing you a favor. I would HIGHLY NOT recommend storing your belongings here ...
