Leslie B. - 11 January 2026
As an out-of-state college student, I'm no stranger to storage units in the local area. I stored with Smart Stop for the first time this summer, and it was by far the BEST experience I've had in several years. The units were very clean with no signs of dirt or even cobwebs, and the check-in/out process was a breeze. Special shoutout to Robin for being so helpful and nice! ... Read more

This is an extremely clean, efficiently and expertly run business. We rented a storage unit last spring for our daughter attending a nearby college and couldn’t have been more impressed. Daniel, the manager, was especially professional and helpful. Highly recommend. ... Read more

The facility is probably the nicest that I have every used, and I have used several nationwide. Daniel and his team, Robin, Anne, and any others unknown keep a really nice facility.

Jennifer C. - 16 February 2025
Very friendly staff, only issue is not enough carts and the unplowed parking lot. Not okay to be ice packed over a week. And definitely a safety issue. Otherwise the lockers are safe and secure, climate controlled and definitely a good value!! Anne was just a doll to work with. She went out of her way to take care of all my needs and even helped me make a change at the last minute. Definitely recommend. ... Read more

SmartStop Storage. Daniel helped us and was incredibly professional and patient. Since it was our first time using a storage unit, he took the time to explain the paperwork in detail and showed us how to use the lock and operate the door. We feel lucky to have chosen this storage facility.:) ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that SmartStop Self Storage - 2307 Hydraulic Road has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Parking, Elevators, First Floor Access, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment. Most of these amenities can prove to be very useful depending on what you need to store. 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 SmartStop Self Storage - 2307 Hydraulic Road can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 30 to 200 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.

Storage units offered by SmartStop Self Storage - 2307 Hydraulic Road come at a variety of prices, starting from $94 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $800 a month.

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!
