"Bob is the best I had two storage units for a few years here. They were always understanding and customer service was excellent. I will always go back if I need too. Thanks Bob! You always greeted me and when I would call you knew who I was (not just because of caller ID lol) but you were always attentive. You made me feel like my stuff was safe and secure because I has an outdoor spot and indoor spot. "

"Only one item to mention is that I was disappointed to not get a refund for a half month unused time when I vacated the storage space. Was a customer from January 2013 through mid April 2014 and hoped for consideration. The manager did explain why I did not receive a refund, but I was still disappointed."

I was treated well and due to my new place not opening up until the 1st of the month but was getting the moving truck on the 2nd (which our payment is due and/or belongings needing to be out by that date) I explained our situation and they were more than happy to work with us. Thank you "
