Cynthia M. - 27 September 2025
Jenna is absolutely too rude to be handling any form of customer service or phone. I tried to fill out a lease online but got busy in between. She called and left a message so I called back. Starting off with a terrible tone and without having any idea the distance from my work she told me that getting out at 5pm i wouldn’t have time to sign up for a storage unit before they close at 6pm….its a storage unit not a mortgage. I’m sure I could do 6 initials and sign my name and she could run my card within the hour available. Then she gives me attitude because I don’t know the difference between types of locks and just kept repeating the word “disc lock” in an angry tone like I was stupid. I kept with her because it’s close to the residence and how often do you have to deal with the workers at a storage. I double checked the online price of $44 a month for a 5x10 and she said no mentioned again an insurance that I already declined and then said they’d force me to buy their lock because I wouldn’t have enough time to get there in her opinion. Not sure what her plans after work were but they were BIG and she could not be late!! I in a still wildly and unnecessarily polite tone explained to her she’s correct and maybe this location isn’t for me and that sweet professional woman hung up the phone. The company needs to STORE her in the back away from customers. ... Read more

SmartStop is affordable, close to home, and perfect for the short time I need storage. I love the convenience of their app to open and close the gate, and I feel good knowing they have video surveillance for added security. Andrew was very professional, polite, thorough, and made the whole process quick and easy. Highly recommend! ... Read more

First of all Destinee is an angel. Her presence alone is enough to come to this location. She has a warm smile, kind personality and is direct and honest with the services provided. I felt seen, heard and like my time and money were taken seriously. The deal i got was great and even though it was made clear to me that it would be increasing I feel that I am still getting a better deal than I would at any other storage space. Thank you ...

Moving stuff in has been great. Destinee was super helpful and answered all of my questions. I was a little disappointed to find out they charge insurance on top of the rental. Ended up being a lot more per month than I thought but it is what it is. She did at least warn me that the rental price will be going up in a few months so I will take that into consideration for how long I’ll be storing my stuff here. ... Read more

The on site staff (Theresa) at the Van Dyke location is great! She was very helpful and the unit was clean and ready to go. Getting set up was a very positive experience. I am not a fan of the call center. They are very pushy and sent in a reservation before I even committed to the unit. Language was an issue so I assume the call center is not in the US. Go directly to the site to rent if you want good service!!! ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 50 to 250 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.
