His customer service truly stood out and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend working with Carlos if you're looking for top-notch service! ... Read more

Now that I have finished with this business, I can write this review. I was scared to do so before cause I was unsure of what they might do to my things. So my mother had a storage unit at U store it and she ended up passing away. I went to the storage unit with my death certificate and identification and was told that everything had to be done with the owner I informed them again that the owner was deceased so how could there be any communications with her. at first I couldn’t find the key to the lock and they told me they couldn’t cut it off because I was not the owner, even though I had paperwork stating that I was the executor of her estate and her beneficiary. Continue on and I had to figure out when payment was due because of course storage has to be paid for. At first I was told I could not make payments over the phone because they didn’t take third-party payments, causing me to have to pay a late fee but then as time went on it was OK to make a third-party payment because of course they want my money! Speaking of money, the pricing that they charge for the units is outrageous. Nowhere near was advertised on their site or what you paid at the beginning of a contract. Continue on customer service terrible came in there a few times they told me they couldn’t cut the lock off, cause I was not the owner, very dismissive …blah blah blah. Thank God, I eventually found the key and was able to get into the unit. Now the problem became the hours they post access hours versus office hours yet. I had to come multiple times and was not able to get in during those access hours. What type of storage unit keeps only business hours when people are at work I had to take off work a couple of times just to come in and get things done. I will never use this establishment again. Customer service is horrible. No type of decorum or anything, but not once did they decline the payment they found every way possible to make sure I paid but no way possible to make sure that they gave good customer service not to mention there’s a clause in their contract. If you are one day late with payment, they are able to take over your storage unit. Going through grief and having to deal with these people was a terrible terrible situation. ... Read more

This place is a complete rip off. Their guidelines change to suit the situation. Every time there was any kind of issue, it always involved paying more money. When we decided to move out of the space, which was at the beginning of the month, we were required to pay for the full month in order to move out of the storage space. This was never disclosed when we rented the space. I would recommend searching for another location prior to selecting this one. ... Read more
