First off I would like to say Marcia did an incredible job helping rent out the unit I was interested in. She made the process super easy she is such a wonderful person with a ln awesome personality. She definitely explained everything very clearly and assisted me with locating the unit and showing where the lift and carts were located. Price for storage is very reasonable. I would highly recommend! Thank you Marcia! ... Read more
Marcela H. - 21 February 2026
Great customer service, Marcia in the office was exceptional! Even tho it's her first week on the job she handled me and several other customers like she has been there for years. I got an awesome deal and the perfect size unit. 6/5 stars! Thank you aardvark. ... Read more
Adrian A. - 21 February 2026
A close acquaintance had a unit with this facility. The unit had a leaked that was not reported to my acquaintance and lost a lot of their items due to the damage from this leak that was not reported. This resulted in several thousands of dollars lost to my friend. When he asked them about it, the facility denied they had done anything wrong. This is not how you treat a clients whether short or long term. What was done was wrong and resulted in hardship. Please be careful and aware of where you store your items. Especially if you have very important items. This would not be the place. ... Read more
Corl k. - 29 September 2025
Storage has not been easier. Michael has been honest and accommodating in the transfer of my storage from another company. Sarah (sorry if I mis-spelled your name as it could be Sara) was extremely helpful also. This company has rates that has a larger unit for less cost than a single 10 x 10 at the other facility, especially after the other facility jacked up the rate for storage more than 16% after four months of usage. I don't like being ripped off. I do not believe the yelp reviews. Michael, the manager has been in that position for about 6 months. Read recent reviews. ... Read more
Ken H. - 26 July 2025
This has been my first experience with a storage facility and they have been great! Fair unit pricing, easy access to my items and the team at the Murphy Canyon Rd. Have great customer service! Form Sarah's knowledge of the facility and Mike's frequent walks of the property I felt very safe. ... Read more

I had an excellent experience renting a storage unit! The process was smooth, and the facility was clean and well-maintained. A special thank you to Sarah, who went above and beyond to provide all the information I needed. She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and patient, making sure I understood all my options and felt confident in my choice. Her outstanding customer service made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I highly recommend this storage facility, especially if you have the pleasure of working with Sarah! ... Read more

N. L. - 6 January 2025
The facility is not secure at, one of the gates is left unlocked at all times. When we first moved in, I found a piece of a shaved key that someone had broken in my lock. I contacted management several times asking if they could watch the security cameras to find out who had done it. They refused to help me. I then asked them if we could move to a new unit and one of the managers told me to just rent a new unit. The other manager Shane then refused to let me rent another unit when we needed it. He accused us of trying to work the system and use the free month to get free months. Along with all of that, the only bathroom's are portable facilities,which would be fine if they had an acceptable hand washing station. The hand wash station consists of a faucet in between two of the buildings and a bar of soap that is set on the wall. They dont even provide hand sanitizer anywhere on the property. Especially during the pandemic its important for businesses to have the safety of their customers in mind. Here they completely disregard any caution businesses are required to follow in order to keep everyone safe. Also TONS of spiders cockroaches and ants. I have to spray our unit frequently to keep our belongings safe. I've talked to other tenants and they've had the same issues. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 25 to 528 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.
