I rented here for about a year. Tracy was always pleasant and professional. It’s a great location, near but not in the city center. It’s clean and fenced and no matter how much or how little you have the is a unit that fits your needs. Any questions or difficulties are handled smoothly and quickly by the on site Manager, Tracey. She’s the best.

Plenty of space and things are generally in good condition however the hallways have no fans or air flow whatsoever so it becomes unbearably hot in the summer. I needed to go to the bathroom and intended on asking the manager but she was on a phone conversation for the longest time. There was no sign that indicated that there was a bathroom so I went across the road to go to the bathroom. Manager told me there was a barhroom after I told her where I went. The fence gates could be more secure as people could easily jump over them if they wanted to. There is no barbed wire to keep people from coming in easily.

We needed storage for two weeks in between college apartments. It was easy to access. Evidently my child didn’t put the lock on properly and was out of town when the manager noticed. She called to notify us and then was able to fix it for us so we didn’t need to make a trip.

Our college student needed to store his furniture for the summer move out/ move in time. Tracey, the onsite manager was wonderful & easy to work with.

Please, please, PLEASE VISIT TRACY!!! This woman is knowledgeable and beautiful in every way. She took the time out to explain everything there is to know about how the storage facility works. At the end of our conversation I asked for a hug because of how sweet and understanding she was. I will never store my things anywhere else as long as she is working at this location!! #librababy!!

I was having issues trying to pay online and so called their afterhours customer service provider was terrible. They claimed I owed three times more than I did. Having rented from the location for 22 years, I was very frustrated. So I wrote a scathing review here. Very soon after that one of the owners called and explained the hiccups they were having with recent updates to the online payment system. I work in IT, so I totally understood. They also expressed much dissatisfaction with the afterhours customer service provider they had hired. They then provided a way to pay my bill and even gave me a discount to compensate for my time and stress. This facility is clean, easy to access, at a good location (especially for students), family-owned and highly secure. But most importantly, the owners are responsive to their customer's concerns and are striving to provide the best storage facility they can.

Brian Dawson

I have never seen such a well kept well secured facility like this one! Friendly staff and great location!

As a customer for two full years, I can't say enough about how nice the owners are. Friendly and courteous. I moved my stuff out three months after paying for six months and they gave me a refund for the unused time without any questions or even a walk through inspection. I'm glad I found this storage unit place and highly recommend to anyone needing a storage unit.
