This place is garbage. From day 1. It is run down, the lights hardly work, there is no push carts and in fact a step in order for me to get to my unit. It's not air controlled (which I was aware of, but with the huge price increase, you'd think it would be). In the 4 months that I've had it, the gate has worked maybe twice, as it was always broken and open. The kicker... I went to make my payment today, and was told that my monthly fee went from $14 to $39 PLUS the insurance cost. So from $26 a month to $51. She said I was notified via mail and proceeds to pull out a small postcard (one that had actually been returned by someone else's mail carrier). I can assure you that never made it to my house either. I asked if I could move all of my belongings out today, and she said my code wouldn't work until this month's payment is made. I get that storage is not cheap, but if you are looking for a deal.. this place isn't worth saving a few extra bucks. Especially with the 100% increase in price after a few months. ADDITIONALLY.. she told me they are allowed to raise prices up to $99 at one time!!! ... Read more

Super kind ladies- took their time to explain everything to me in a kind & respectful manner, including answering what I thought were some dumb questions (first time getting a storage unit anywhere, so unfamiliar territory.) Easy & convenient to get to, both location & self service hours. ... 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 40 to 400 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 - 1001 Toll Gate Road start from $46 and can go up to $445 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.
