Read some helpful reviews of SmartStop Self Storage at 1027 North Washington Blvd, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

This place is very clean, very well lit and maintained. The staff is so helpful and friendly. When I moved into a 2nd floor unit I crashed a whole box of CD’s on the floor. Chris must have ran to help me pick up and gave me a bottle of water. So thoughtful. Cameron has been so friendly and pleasant whenever I visit the office. Highly recommended to store here! ...

They have a huge loitering issue with people and people that live in the storage units. They also have a sanitary issue. What’s hilarious is that they raised my rate after 3 months even though they don’t even try up keeping the facilities and based on other reviews, I am not alone. See my photos and tell me if that deserves a rate hike? Typical Florida junk. ... Read more

I reserved a storage unit that we need to support our move into Sarasota and I paid one month in advance plus a “sign up” fee. Now, 10 days later I’ve received a message that the unit I reserved is not available and I am not being responded to when I ask for help from this company. Yet, they still have my money. ...

I had an amazing experience renting a storage unit, all thanks to Alex! He went above and beyond to make the process easy and stress-free. Alex was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, answering all my questions with patience and clarity. His outstanding customer service made a potentially tedious task a total breeze. Highly recommend! ... Read more

I would NOT recommend Smartstop Self Storage to anyone. I have been renting storage units for 1 year, paid on-time with autopay. The card on file was compromised and it had to be closed due to fraud. During this time my father passed away and my daughter just delivered my first grandchild. I had to wait for a new card to arrive. I was one day late and they charged me a $20 late fee even though they new my situation they would not wave the late fee, they were actually showed no empathy. The place is dirty, lots of trash is always outside the dumpster, homeless and drug addicts roam the area and sleep there on the ground with their bikes. I did not feel safe when I went to my unit. Rodents are everywhere, I have rat dropping inside my unit and noone cares. This storage facility wants to charge you a late fee for being late 1 day, but is unwilling to clean up the trash, homeless, drug addicts and rodents. Go to Extra Storage, I had 2 storages there for 1 year as well and it was the complete opposite experience. I moved from osprey to brandenton and that was the only reason I left extra storage. I will be moving my items back to them as Smart Stop Self Storage is not so SMART as they don't care about their clients and unwilling to provide any customer service. I called their main number to address these issues and received the same treatment. I also noticed many former clients all had the same terrible, disappointing experience. Smart Stop Storage just don't care and disgusting dirty. ... Read more

My college student chose this facility, and I would recommend it be avoided at all costs. There are homeless people living there, setting up online auto pay is not easy, and then they charge you $20 late fees. When I called to question the late fee, the woman told me I was one day past the "grace period", I hope $20 was worth it. After that I decided we would move to a facility used by most students from the college and not deal with the nonsense. My recommendation to anyone considering this facility is to use one of the ones off of University Ave and save yourself the headaches, not to mention the safety issues of people living in the facility. ...

My complaint is about the price continues to increase every 6 months. There is a problem with rodent droppings all over your belongings, but they want you to continue to pay those rates. I have been renting from Smart Shop for over a year. This not meant to be a long term rental. I was able to downsize to a smaller unit for now but I am definitely not staying there much longer. Que was a great help, very nice knowledgeable guy. ... Read more

Good if you have a set plan, or money to spare. Prices go up every couple of months. Upper management either has lack of understanding or inadequate time management. Hardships are not taken into account for customers. Every time that I call, I either don’t get an answer, proper management is not available, or I’m awaiting a response from upper management. With all this, I’m still expected to pay their prices. They are efficient when it comes to calling when a bill is due, but outside of that, communication is TERRIBLE. I don’t visit enough to validate any of the other reviews , good or bad. However, I did receive a phone call from a young man named “Q” who I did have a pleasant conversation with about my account. To which afterwards, he asked for a review. Solely due to his professional mannerisms and communication skills, I decided to not only write a review, but give HIM five stars. If you do ever happen to visit this facility and see Q, give him a chance to change how you may feel about the company. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 25 to 300 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.

Monthly prices for units offered by SmartStop Self Storage - 1027 North Washington Blvd start from $42 and can go up to $446 for larger spaces.

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.
