Read some helpful reviews of SmartStop Self Storage at 1716 East Cary Street, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Living in Church Hill, this has been the most convenient storage facility. I use it to store my pop-up market gear, and the fact that I can back into a covered spot right at the loading dock and pile everything onto a cart for one trip - it has been hands down the easiest loading and unloading experience out of all of the storage options I've tried. (I've also never run into a situation where every single space was taken, there has always been parking.) The space is clean, and above all else - the staff has been amazing. They are friendly, they know me by name, and they have always been able to help when I need it. The big orange carts go through phases of getting a little run down, but they do get them replaced/repaired. Would highly recommend! ... Read more

As MorningStar storage this place was great. The employees are very caring, attentive, and pleasure to engage with. However, this place was bought by SmartStop Self Storage during my leasing. This company is a nightmare. The information of the transition was not given in advance to us as paying customers. The phone lines to the office were immediately disconnected, and you were sent to a call center that took upwards of 20+ minutes for someone to answer your call. I was hung up on twice when I was attempting to figure out why the lines were cut and I was unable to get in touch with staff about my storage unit. I also attempted to leave feedback about how unorganized and poorly executed this transition was. I was promptly hung up on by a call center worker. My advice is to now avoid this business as there is no longer a professional, welcoming, and respectful atmosphere. ... Read more

These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Credit Cards Accepted, Elevators, First Floor Access, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment.

The storage units offered by SmartStop Self Storage - 1716 East Cary Street can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 to 750 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 - 1716 East Cary Street come at a variety of prices, starting from $56 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $1,122 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!
