"My expectations were met because, by being my first time using a storage facility Ruth and Phyllis made the experience very comfortable. They were very considerate and patient with me. I referred my Brother and he uses a storage unit there as well."

"Your managers are a true asset to your company. They are both professional, knowledgable, kind, and helpful no matter what I need. They have never made me feel like anything other than appreciated for bringing my business to their location. If all companies had employees just like them, we'd all be better off and a lot more satisfied as customers. "

"Very accessible to my unit. Staff very helpful. I like how I get a e-mail at least a week before payment is due. The use of the van was very needed. "

"All of my expectations were met, not only were they met, but Ruth with her beautiful smile really topped it off. Ruth takes pride in this property and it really shows, she is on top of her game. As said before, I made the perfect choice to store my things, but made a friend with Ruth, I love that woman."

"When I needed access to the gate on moving out day (I had never needed to access the gate before because the one time I came there, the office was open), the gate access code on my contract was completely wrong, and no one could figure out what it should have been. I called the number on the keypad, but instead had to wait for the office to open which made me have to pay wait time for my movers."

"My disatisfaction has nothing to do with the employee's or even with the new ownership. The previous owner neglected the lighting in the facility to the point that I had problems finding property in my unit and their response to my complaint lacked any concern for customer satisfaction. I hope the new owners ameliorate these problems."
