"I already knew how wonderful this staff, especially Miss Eleanor, as my mother used this facility for four years. It is impossible to exceed the expectations I had because I already knew I'd be treated with respect and that the units are kept clean, and the security is outstanding. You can't ask for aa better storage experience."

"A dolly and furniture cart should reside at each indoor storage unit, next to the door of the unit. It should not be at the front for cumbersome retrieval. Other less fancier places have that. Also, the website keeps telling me I'm late on payments even though I set it up auto pay?"

We loved the discount too.
Thank you for having a great place for us to trust and keep our belongings.
Have a good night.
