I was sweetly greeted by Ariana the moment I entered the facility. She was professional and very detailed in the information she gave me regarding the type of unit I was interested in. She went above and beyond the normal “showing” and provided me with written notes, and later made paper copies of what we discussed regarding the rental unit. She was a true professional with the most delightful attitude. Thank you, Ariana, you were great. :) ... Read more

I just started my rental today so this review is based on opening your account. I did a quick Google search, found the best prices were A-1, chose my option and started to check out, had a question so I called the number, got an even better offer with suggestions for my needs and I'm so happy I called. The operator made it so easy and was so nice. It was a quick and convenient process. ... Read more

Friendly and efficient staff. I signed up online, where it is not disclosed that as a new customer I needed to present myself in person and show my ID at the office. This would not have been a problem, had I known ahead of time that the office hours were different than the facility hours (office closes at 6pm, facility closes at 10pm). This cost me an extra day of truck rental. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 25 to 350 square feet. Space is not an issue! If you have more belongings to store, or simply bulkier items or even vehicles, you should go for larger storage units.

You already know how much stuff you need to put in self storage, so figuring out the unit size you need is the next step. Smaller units such as 5'x5' or 5'x10' spaces can usually be filled with the amount of items you would normally store in a closet: a few chairs and lamps, sports equipment, garden tools and some boxes.

Moving on to larger sizes, imagine the 10'x10' and 10'x15' units as similar to a bedroom or a living room – larger pieces of furniture, sturdier equipment and bicycles can fit here. Finally, a 10'x20' unit has enough space for the contents of a 3-bedroom house, while the larger 10'x30' space easily accommodates the contents of a loaded semi-truck.

Accessibility and quickness are key when it comes to storage, so drive-up storage units are generally regarded as very convenient. Pull your car right up to your storage space, load, unload, and you're good to go! However, if you're mostly storing temperature-sensitive items, you should rather consider indoor storage units.

Climate-controlled units maintain consistent temperatures and humidity levels all year round, making them perfect for all your sensitive items. Moisture and varying temperatures can damage a whole host of things, and that is why a lot of people choose to use climate-controlled units to store items like wooden furniture, electronics, artwork, documents and photographs, collectibles, antiques, etc. If the belongings you're storing are important to you, you should consider renting a climate-controlled unit.
