Excellent customer service, pricing and ease of acquiring the services
Good
Easy to reserve and good customer service. Thank you.
Great
I enjoyed the process, so simple and effective.
Always has flat beds right by the elevator to help you with your stuff. Self check in. If you don't have a code you can't get in, and it greets you once you put your access code in. Which is nice. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone.
The staff are the best. Courteous, conscientious and great at the upkeep and keeping with the rules to maintain the cleanliness of the facilities.
Pleasant. Informative.
Everything has been great. The staff has been very knowledgeable, understanding and pleasant. I appreciate the recent communication from the manager Deleesha(sp) and courtesy extended to me.
I would definitely use this storage unit again and recommend to family and friends based on my current experience. I am not sure of how rate increases are assessed would be my only other hesitation in recommending .
The facilities are well maintained.
Although the service and storage is ok, I think the price is to high for the small space.
So far, it's working out fine. I'm very happy with the service and with the unit.
Real good. Staff was cordial and very helpful.
So far, everything is going well. I haven't actually started moving in yet.
Waiting for some help
Start to finish, half an hour to get my new unit and sign the documents. Great service!
Very thorough. Staff pleasant and organized. Facility clean.
Would recommend this facility based on this preliminary assessment.
Good
Everyone is very nice & helpful.

Delicia Dunn the manager was very helpful and thorough in the process and instructions regarding the storage unit as this was my experience. It was very much appreciated.

From the time we first came to the facility, last week, until today. Our experience has been exceptional. The facility’s manager, Delicia, has demonstrated superb customer service. She is very versed in knowing how to treat potential customers who have become new customers. I am a stickler for great customer service. As long as me and my family’s business is appreciated and respected. We will always show our appreciation. Thank you.
Delicia is great!!!

Pretty good.

I eventually let her go ahead but it was nice. Also being a trans female it would be nice.to have a prefered name but there was no way for that guy to know. i was dressed.like a man to be in and out, and its nobodies business. Thats basically it.
Excellent experience. The on-site manager was so helpful, professional and nice.
It was a great experience to store my items at your facility! I enjoyed the anytime access during the specific hours and that there were climate controlled units!

I was impressed by the experience where the unexpectedly knowledgeable courteous and accommodating staff helped me make the best decision for the money as I could have ever expected. While at the same time I felt like a valued customer who was provided with the confidence and security that my valued possession was in good hands.
I didn’t have any problems, I didn’t like that the rent was increased to often. It became to expensive.
Ive been a tenant for over 6 months with no issues. I recently had to transfer to a smaller unit and Jim helped me out. He went above and beyond to help me get into my new unit with no problems. Cool guy!
I'm back for the second time with you. I really like this storage and the service manager. Yes I would recommend them.
