The sign up process was reasonable. I had no problems getting to my things. They were kept safe and dry. The price for my unit went up considerably after a month? I later was paid ahead a month and then was told after asking about departing earlier than expected that if the unit was clean and empty before the first of September, I would be refunded the month of September (Over $300). I have been trying to recover that and get the check they promised for over a month and a half now. The help at the MLK store assure me they have asked the corporate offices for a refund for me. There is no address or phone number for the corporate office offered for me to call about the refund promised? ... Read more

My brother was the contract holder and was institutionalized after signing an agreement. His rent was set up on auto pay. Storage Mart would not accept my court ordered guardianship paperwork to allow me access to his items. They also increased the rental rate to $175 mo for a dirty, smelly 10x10. When I called other facilities owned by them I was provided with rates starting at $75. They were simply taking advantage of his situation. They are owned by an out of state entity. After a year of extracting my brothers funds, I was able to find my brothers pass code and keys to access the items. They had some water damage and we tossed out all the now moldy clothing articles. The clerk at the office changed the lock on his locker because they said it was properly locked up, so that we were unable to extract a few leftover items. Good luck if you rent from them. ...

We used StorageMart for a few months in between our moves. Crystal was so kind and accommodating to work with! Every time I came in she remembered me and was able to help me with any request I had. The units were easily accessible and never too crowded to where I couldn’t drive up. Definitely recommend. ... Read more

Deanna was there to assist me and she is awesome! I love her personality and her eagerness to help. My unit was a little dusty and she swept it for me and helped me do paperwork since I was having online issues. I really enjoyed her customer service and appreciate all her help, thanks Deanna!!!! ... Read more

Do not use this storage company… I repeat do not use this storage company. First of all the manager at the mlk location, I believe her name is Christi. She is rude, not friendly or helpful in anyway. When she quoted me the price I said it seemed a little high for the space and she said it was actually cheaper than normal. I was in such a time crunch I just booked it anyway. The next day I wanted to see what their online rates were for the same unit and they were running a special with a free months rent and $50 cheaper a month for what I was previously charged the day before. I ended up calling and asking what was up and spoke to a nice lady named Theresa and she apologized for how I was treated and offered me a few options: one was to book another unit and move all my stuff to the new unit, which would have been fine but I had just had surgery and wasn’t able to do so. She then offered me a free months rent on the unit I booked, so I thought ok it’s not a perfect world but that seems fair. I was also told that my concerns would be reported to the regional manager and I’d hear back with in 72 hours. That was at the end of April it is now the end of May and I was never contacted. I then called in again because I was never contacted by the company. I asked if I was able to get my free months rent like I was promised and I was informed that the people over the phone aren’t allowed to change anything to my account. So all in all I was way over charged and lied to and not treated like a customer should be treated if you wanted to keep my continued business. If anything I hope this reaches as many people as it can and they miss out on revenue for not doing the right thing and treated customers with dignity and respect. It is literally beyond me how dysfunctional this company operates. I would like to give a shout out to Deanna she is the absolute best so if you do end up renting from this storage place make sure Deanna is working, she is the assistant manager and she deserves 10 stars! Whoever her supervisor is please make sure to give her all the praise she deserves. She is delightful and such a sweetheart. She is literally the only reason I would even consider using your services again! ... Read more

I have been a customer for 8 years. In that time all I have is continuous increases in the storage price and fee increases. I've never been offered any discounts, customer appreciations, nothing but pay more and still have less. I'm very sad to say, I may start looking for another storage company that appreciates my business, and my continuous good payment history. ... Read more

Depending on what you need to put away in storage, you can discover there are some things you absolutely need, so make sure you check with the facility manager that you'll find everything you need on site.

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 25 to 600 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.
