"I am so happy this location was big enough to move a truck and trailer. There was a RV & a boat that was in my opinion in the way at the side of a drop off hill. Overall experience was great they had a welcome package with a key and offered a $10 Dolly. Thankfully we had an air pump to fill the Dolly tires. The first month was waived and we paid insurance and service fees. When booking I was reassured after the first months coupon we would receive military rate and was told differently at check in that she would look into it. Crossing my fingers that we arnt in the unit for more than a month or they honor their word."
