"On my last day of having my furniture in the storage unit, I had a king size mattress that I struggled to take out, cause it was just way to big for the carts provided and I was alone. The gentleman working there, in which I wish I took his name was so so very generous to go completely go out of his way and help me get the mattress out and into the truck. I ccouldnt have thanked him enough! The employees there are very kind and respectful, I'd recommend this place to anybody! My rating is five stars gaurenteed!"

"The building is clean. The employees are nice. I don't have a problem with any of that. I think that the rates are far too high. I don't have anywhere else to go, I can't find a better deal, otherwise I wouldn't be there because I am crippled financially every month."

"Your communication (by email) was always lacking. The couple times I was late paying (because my customers, city and state governments, were late paying me) I was charged a late fee. Fair enough. When I was charged 2 in one month was when I found a way to store my items elsewhere."

"A customer came in to pay her bill and cut the line. I was there with three other customers awaiting our turn. This woman was taken ahead of us all.
I understand the staff was trying to be nice and not have a scene occur. I think the staff should have directed the woman to the back of the line.
Besides that, staff apologized for the incident and took care of everyone! "

"I did have trouble when you changed brands.
In the few weeks before you changed, I had changed units because of a water leak (which your staff handled very well) and at that time I changed my address with your business.
But after you changed brands, most of your notifications went to my old address.

"Dear Uncle Bob...I have rented storage units at this location for over seven (7) years. I have also recommended several of your current tenants. BOTH Robin and Candice are two of your BEST assets. They are very professional. Last year, I did a promotional video for US Storage with Candice. I do have storage units at other locations, but your Bristol, CT location is where I prefer to store the majority of my things. Gordon"
