Mpls Storage January 1, 2022 If one does the research, or has rented in Public Storage somewhere, one may find that there are rules given to you when you rent a space to store belongings. Private storage, whether it be in someone’s home or in a rental facility, also has rules and safeguards different from Public Storage. Prices are lower in Private Storage. As an individual who has used both, I prefer the Private Storage locker called `Mpls Storage. In Public Storage, the unit rented costs approximately double for the size at a privately owned storage unit. In addition, one pays more for 24 hour access. This means you can come and go any time of day or night. You may be subject to vetting so that you are deemed to be unlikely to harass other storage users. When working for a political campaign, it was important to have accessibility late after fundraisers to be able to store equipment etc. Still, there are persons who may accost you who have no business being inside. They may enter along with a vehicle unnoticed and sneak up on you even though there are many cameras there. I found this very unsettling! There are buzzers to push to get help, which is useful, but still unnerving. It takes some time for the police to arrive. There may be homeless who rent a unit and live in it, though that is not legal. Litter is hard to avoid in public storage. Trucks or cars may hem you in if you’re in a hurry and you have to try to find the people who are moving in or out to get them to move their vehicle so you can leave, with little or no help from the office staff. In Mpls. Storage, which is a family-owned business, the rules are clearly written, and you are given a copy upon rental. You are expected to show up on time for an appointment to visit your storage unit. The facility is kept clean, carts are always available to help move your belongings to or from your vehicle to your unit. I have rented in this facility for over ten years, at half the price of Public Storage. I have never encountered anyone who does not belong there. This is a clean facility in which I feel safe. H.

We had an awful experience renting from this place. We rented for 4 months earlier this year. They were rude from the get-go. When we showed up to try to do business with them, they turned us away and told us to come back the next day because they were too busy (utterly unprofessional). Then whenever we called ahead to schedule appointments in order to access our stored property, they always acted like we were imposing on their time even though our appointments were during their business hours. They were consistently in a bad mood when we visited to access our things and we felt like we had to walk on eggshells on the property though we were fully paying customers. Lastly, do not rent from this place if your intended move-out date or the last day of the month happens to fall on a Sunday. They are closed on Sundays and will not work with you to pro-rate to move out on the 1st. When I made this request explaining that my new lease for the house I intended to rent didn't begin until the 1st which fell on a Monday, I was rudely shut down and told that if I moved out on the first, I would have to pay a full-month's rent and further advised I should just move out a week before my new lease started (and store my things where in the interim???!!!) I had to move out on a Saturday and pay 2 additional days/nights of a Uhaul rentail in order to have a place to store my things while I got access to my new place on the 1st. They are not flexible or willing to work with you if you end up in this tricky situation so plan ahead or avoid them. ... Read more

I would definitely recommend MPLS Storage to anyone in need of storage needs. I needed affordable and secure storage and was able to calm the stress with the helpful and professional individuals that provided this service. I talked/met with three different employees and was treated with respect at all times. There were no strings attached or hidden agendas with dealing with this company. If the need ever comes up again, I know I will be returning here. ... Read more

MPLS storage was a pleasure to work with. We rented a large storage unit there for 18 months and could not have wanted better service. They were outstanding in every aspect from friendliness to billing. The units were clean and secure. Jared was always very helpful when moving stuff in and out too. He offered us water and was even helpful to our movers. The price was right too. Great storage facility! ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 16 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.

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.

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.
