Rob M. - 5 September 2025
Bwware: I wrote a review of a very negative expereince I had with someone who works in this office. In a phone call last week, she asked me to take down the bad review. Even that request was unprofsional now that i think about it. but i removed it. She failed to tell me that my unit is cost is being raised to $100 more than I rented it for 5 months ago. I rented at 1$38 and I am shocked that for Septenber they want $238. They already raised it to $188 and then less than 2 months later they raise it anpothe $50 plus. this is crazy and scammy. so here it is. they will not do you the courtesu of sending you a text or call to tell you, but they do not hesitate to give you rcrazy increases! and I have 2 units there! ...

Chandra was very helpful. Friendly and informative. I reserved the spot after she offered to show me around and make sure it suited my needs then she followed up via phone call and I booked it over the phone with her a couple weeks later. ... Read more

I’m holding off on finalizing my 5-star review until my initial charges are corrected. The charges are currently still pending with my bank, so I’m hopeful this will be a simple fix—pending a decision from the regional manager. I was charged approximately four times the rate I was quoted both online during my reservation and again at the store just 20 minutes later. I was also told this morning that the "first month free" promotion only applies to 10×15 parking spaces, not 10×15 storage units. This contradicts the information I received online, over the phone, and in person at the facility. Additionally, when I returned shortly after completing the transaction to request a receipt, I was told it would be emailed. This prevented me from reviewing the charges on the spot and catching the discrepancy in time to resolve it directly. That said, the facility itself is excellent—clean, dry, spacious, and well-lit, with easy access from both Allen Ave and Long Shoals Rd. The online deals appear to be great, though I recommend confirming all promotional details beforehand. Also, I strongly suggest requesting a printed receipt at the time of payment or paying online during your reservation to avoid any confusion. ... Read more

Aretha is an absolute pleasure to do business with. She is the light of the party! Chandra the manager is wonderful too! They have done such an amazing job at maintaining the facility and providing exceptional customer service. They also have gone above and beyond at staffing. Nick, he is so genuine and so kind and everyone truly cares about each other here. Hands down this has not only been the best experience I've ever had with any storage facility, but one of the best overall guest experiences that I think I've ever had even while working 15 years in hospitality. Thank you everyone at Smart stop for being so wonderful! ... Read more
Gentry D. - 22 February 2025
Aretha is an awesome representative of the SmartStop company! She is cheerful, helpful & knowledgeable! When I rented my first unit ever with SmartStop, Aretha was training as a new employee. I could see then that she was eager to learn the job. Now, just a couple months later she is managing the facility office on Long Shoals Rd., Arden, NC obviously very well! She gives excellent customer service & her demeanor is warm & welcoming. We have rented storage units with a few other places in the past, but this is our first experience with SmartStop, and by far the best. Aretha was a big part of that first impression. She has remained consistent in her helpfulness & excellent customer service! Thank you, Aretha! ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage units available at SmartStop Self Storage - 6 Long Shoals Road include the following amenities: Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, First Floor Access, Online Payment and RV Storage. 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 100 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.

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 - 6 Long Shoals Road start from $153 and can go up to $305 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.
