"Just one thing: I initially "reserved" a storage space, then a week later came back to actually rent it. It would have been helpful if, when I reserved the space, the agent had reminded me that I would need my own padlock. I had assumed that Uncle Bob's supplies the locking device."

"Uncle Bob's at Oakwood Dr. in Glastonbury the outside electrical outlet at unit E23 does not work. The electrical outlet outside unit E17 does not work and it is not fastened to the building. You can pull it away from the building exposing the wiring. Safety hazard for sure, possible fire hazard. I have reported this to management 4 times in the last 6 months and the condition still exists. Please see what you can do to rectify this situation. All of the above notwithstanding, I am a very satisfied customer and the management people are superb."

"My storage unit remained dry throughout the winter and rainy spring season. The grounds were always accessible and the staff helpful (but not too inquiring..) This was my first experience renting a storage unit and Uncle Bob's exceeded my expectation. I even liked the convenient on-line payment method. No problems and I'll return if the need arises.
Thank you for running a competent helpful business of value. "
