"Our first time getting a storage and this was a great experience! The staff member was extremely informative and helpful with any questions we had. Definitely will recommend this place to anyone!"
"Brittany is awesome and extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and informative. She made the whole process easy and is genuinely friendly. Prices are better than others in the area, especially if you rent online. Be advised insurance is required, but they have reasonable options available for that too. Units are clean and well maintained, and they have loading docks and carts available if you have a U-haul that's too big to drive in. Great setup, would highly recommend."
"If I could rate it 0 stars, I would. Horrifically dirty. Trash all over the place inside and outside. My parents left their things in a storage unit for a year and when they moved out, furniture had mold and there was rat poop all over their things. To top it off, the guy in charge does not seem to have any customer service skills. Do not recommend one bit!"
"I wouldn’t dare you this company for anything. I never used the space I rented, didn’t even have the space for 2weeks I was told that no refund would be given."
"Jeff went above and beyond to fix things that were out of his control and to help me in a tight spot. The facility is a bit dirty but it's not too huge of deal."
"Absolutely the worst experience ever working with a storage facility. No one ever at the facility and no one will answer the phone or respond to your voice message. Jeffery Blair is very unprofessional and his lack in ability cost me time and money. Never again will I deal with this clown farm.🤯"
"The facility was set up properly. Customer service is excellent. Even though he didn't have a space that fit my needs he sent me to a location that did! Go see Jeffrey he is awesome!"
