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

    Was very happy to find an affordable storage unit. I was paying just under $50 a month and two months later my fee doubled. I was not in on a two month special. I signed for an entire year. I received a text message stating “to keep up with the competition they would be increasing their rates. I moved everything out this weekend and would advise people to be aware that your rates can be changed by them at any time they feel like they need to make more money. Very unprofessional business. ... Read more

    I stopped by the Ashburn VA location on a Saturday afternoon and was met by helpful staff who showed me a number of available units. So convenient and couldn’t have had a better experience! I was moving things into storage within the hour. Thank you!! ... Read more

    ????? (0 Stars if I Could) – Predatory Pricing & Deceptive Practices at Self Storage Plus - One Loudoun I rented a unit at Self Storage Plus – One Loudoun under what I believed were fair and transparent terms: $104/month, clearly outlined in the signed rental agreement. I even paid upfront and followed every condition asked of me. But to my absolute shock and frustration, within barely one month, they increased my rent to $200/month—a 92.3% increase from my original rate. Let that sink in: nearly double the agreed-upon rent with no meaningful justification other than corporate greed and opportunism. And while they’ll try to hide behind the fine print (“we reserve the right to change rent with 30 days’ notice”), this is a textbook example of predatory business tactics designed to lure customers in with low rates, only to trap them with exorbitant price hikes once their belongings are already stored and moving becomes difficult or impossible. ? ?? What They Did Might Be Legal – But It’s Absolutely Unethical Yes, they can argue that they legally gave notice under Clause 20 of their agreement, which allows them to modify rent with a 30-day notice. But just because something is technically legal doesn’t make it morally right, especially when: • They intentionally undercut other competitors to get you in the door. • They wait until your items are stored—fully knowing the hassle and cost of moving out. • They then blindside you with a nearly 100% increase, essentially holding your property hostage. This is a predatory pricing model that exploits the inertia and inconvenience that storage customers face. It’s manipulative, calculated, and it erodes trust in an industry that already walks a fine ethical line. ? ?? This Practice Has Sparked Legal Scrutiny Elsewhere This isn’t an isolated tactic. In recent years, similar bait-and-switch rent increases have been: • Challenged in small claims courts across the U.S. • Flagged by consumer watchdogs for deceptive business practices. • Subject to class-action lawsuits, including actions involving national chains like Public Storage and Extra Space Storage for the same abusive behavior. This trend is why states like California and New York have begun proposing legislation to cap or regulate rent increases in the self-storage industry, especially for tenants under auto-renewal leases. ? ?? A Cautionary Warning to Potential Customers To anyone reading this: avoid Self Storage Plus at all costs—especially the One Loudoun location. Their business model is engineered to: • Bait you with a reasonable initial price, • Trap you once you’ve committed, • And gouge you with an outrageous price increase when you’re most vulnerable. You will receive little empathy, no flexibility, and certainly no apology—just a cold invocation of contract language that lets them do it. ? ?? Bottom Line: Rent Elsewhere If I could give this company zero stars, I would. A 92% rent hike in 30 days is nothing short of corporate exploitation. This is not just poor customer service—it is a deliberate and strategic abuse of consumer trust. ... Read more

    Have been using storage plus for years. Haven't had a problem until I saw this unit. It is not full size but l shaped so I'm missing a good chunk of storage space but I'm still laying the same price as others with full space. I would have got another unit but they didn't have any others this size. ... Read more

    We are so happy to be leaving this place! -no one is EVER in the office. Office hours are NOT as posted. Good luck getting anyone on the phone. -place is musty, smells very dirty, carpets and keypads are filthy -they deliberately ignored our emails showing we had our own insurance, and then they had the gall to charge us for THEIR insurance. This has been a repeated problem for the past several years. -rates go up continuously, with little warning, multiple times in a year -I feel they did NOT honor the discount agreement with my company. They will lie about this and claim you are getting some sort of an online discount or make up reasons why you can’t use another discount. The reality is, everyone seems to pay basically the same high rate and they just pretend like everyone is getting a discount. I only learned this because my coworker and I started comparing rates, and were surprised to find we were paying the same despite only one of us supposedly having the discount applied. The only good thing is the large parking bay that makes loading and unloading fairly easy. Does that make up for the sketchy, non-transparent “discounts” and scammy insurance charges? We didn’t think so. ... Read more

    Whenever I've had a question or concern, the people who assisted me were professional and very helpful. I recently changed units (needed a different size) and they made the entire process very easy. The facility is climate-controlled, clean and secure. I highly recommend these folks! ... Read more
