Read some helpful reviews of Western Mini Storage at 402 St. Helens Avenue, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

If i could give this place a zero i would. My client has been paying for his unit for 8 yrs then recieved notice of non payment when he has paid every single month and has reciepts to prove it they returned his last payment mind you this is a disabled vulnerable adult with a letter saying if you dont pay x amount of dollars by the 15th of this month your unit will be auctioned off so he had to drive 5 hours from his home to figure this out. When he got there today on the 13th, they had changed the lock on the unit and all of his belongings, including his dead wife's ashes, we're gone.The unit was empty!

I’ve been trying to reach this business for SEVERAL weeks /months (since April) and no one has returned my calls after leaving dozens of voicemails. No one is ever in the office during business hours and the storage units are INACCESIBLE. I’ve been by and called on numerous days at various times during business hours and the office is ALWAYS EMPTY. Their email address no longer works. Did the owner die or go on a bender or something? I need my belongings. I’m getting frustrated and will never use this storage again and advise anyone considering them to look elsewhere. Very unprofessional and unreachable. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Western Mini Storage - 402 St. Helens Avenue has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Security Camera, Gate, Parking and Multi-Level Storage. 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 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.

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!
