What customers are saying

4.8/5 - 676 Reviews

Read some helpful reviews of Extra Space Storage at 5765 General Washington Drive, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I am appalled. We switched storage units to this company at the end of last year because of the stellar reviews after our last storage unit kept hiking rates almost quarterly with abysmal customer service, only to find this company increased our rate after 4 months, but almost double. I spoke with Ken on the phone, who was kind and empathetic and offered to pass this to his superiors. I sure hope something can be done. This is so disappointing. ... Read more
Gabrielle D. - 12 February 2026
I was a loyal customer for years until they raised my rent by $50 a month without notification. $92 for a 5x10. Then out of nowhere my next bill was going to be $145. When I called, the excuse was that the prices were increasing due to surrounding competing company prices. I moved out immediately and got a same size somewhere else for $55. I doubt Ill ever return because of this. ... Read more
Peter T. - 21 December 2025
I was a tenant for more than two years. Management of the facility has deteriorated as they have relentlessly raised rents. Specific Issues I faced on December 15: - Massive ice sheets covering the parking lot and walkways 3 days after a storm. Asked for salt and was told there was none. How does a facility that constantly raises rent on its tenants not have the funds to de-ice its parking lot? My movers fell twice due to the treacherous icy walkways. - Broken elevators. - Entryways that reek of sewage. - Rent increases for worse and worse service. For those reasons and due to a general apathy from management, I cannot recommend the facility. 1/10. ... Read more
Jeffrey B. - 17 December 2025
New to Extra Space and I’ve had a great experience getting three units with Ken, the site manager. He’s super helpful, kind and gets me in the units quickly. In terms of the facility, it’s better than my experiences with the other largest storage companies in the Nova area. Always super clean and modern! ... Read more
Slaveya Y. - 19 August 2025
Outstanding Service and Immaculate Facility! I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Extra Space Storage. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff (Ken) went above and beyond to explain all my options and helped me find the perfect unit for my needs. The facility is spotless, well-lit, and secure which gave me peace of mind from day one. The climate-controlled units are a huge plus, and I really appreciate the extended access hours, which are super convenient for my schedule. It’s clear that the team takes pride in maintaining a top-tier facility and delivering excellent customer service. If you’re looking for clean, safe, and reliable storage with a team that truly cares, I highly recommend Extra Space Storage. They’ve made the entire process stress-free and smooth. Five stars all the way! ... Read more
Carolyn D. - 31 July 2025
Thank You Samra!!! You were very patient and helpful in educating me about this process. The location was perfect, clean and the other customers going to their units were friendly. This will probably be the easiest part of my renovation. ... Read more
Janine - 30 July 2025
Updated Review - When you first visit the site, everything is great—just like other storage facilities in town. You’re given a proper tour, and there are no issues with security or customer service. You will be asked to post a 5 star review at the end of your first tour which skews the rating system. There’s really no way for you to determine the price increase at this stage. However, give it about four months after signing up, and you’ll likely see your rental rate jump by at least $100 (depends on size this is my experience). The notice will be mailed to you. The facility itself is great but the price hikes are INSANE! ... Read more
Mistire K. - 22 July 2025
I've rented with Extra Space at the General Washington Dr location in Alexandria for over a year now and it's THE best experience I've ever had with any storage company ( and I've had quite a few). The grounds are ALWAYS clean and the building is safe, secure and immaculate! There are elevators and flatbed carts available at each entrance making it a convenient way to transport my things back and forth. I appreciate their fair and affordable prices, especially for the area. The staff is friendly, professional and very helpful at every interaction. I've used this facility for my personal belongings and my resale business over flow with no worries. It's been a positive experience that No matter where I move to next, I'm sticking with an Extra Space for now on. ... Read more
Shonte E. - 9 June 2025
If I could give Samra and Ken 10 stars, I absolutely would! They provided exceptional and outstanding customer service from start to finish. Samra made us feel incredibly welcome—she was warm, kind, and attentive, even while assisting other customers. Despite being busy, she took the time to answer all our questions and guided us through the entire process with care and professionalism. ... Read more
Jessie M. - 19 April 2025
Save yourself the headache and avoid. Rates will be raised twice a year without notice (other companies at least email 30 days prior to price increases) double the inital move in price for a non climate controlled unit at $100 for a small unit, while the unit itself is hard to access with anything heavy due to stairs being in the middle of the floor, very few dollies if you're lucky enough to be on the 1st floor and parking is a challenge on weekends. Customer service has really declined compared to winter 2023 & summer 2024 ... Read more
Jonah H. - 27 March 2025
I had an amazing experience with Extra space storage. Mr. Ken’s help and assistance were truly out of this world. From start to finish, he made the entire process easy and smooth. His professionalism, patience, and friendly attitude made all the difference. He went above and beyond to ensure I got the perfect storage unit for my needs. If you’re looking for a hassle-free storage experience with top-notch customer service, I highly recommend this place—especially with Mr. Ken there to help! ... Read more
Abdulaziz A. - 4 March 2025
I would definitely recommend this storage to anyone who needs the service. The customer service was excellent and Ken is an outstanding manager. Beside that, great location with plenty of packing space for loading and unloading. I’ll definitely come back if I need the space again. ... Read more
Elaine S. - 3 February 2025
The customer service was excellent and the facility was clean. Ken was very helpful and respectful. Although it’s not under Ken’s control, I was disappointed to find out some boxes were empty in the storage unit that I won in an auction. Thank you very much ... Read more
Amanda M. - 4 January 2025
Cannot recommend this place enough. Management office is always friendly and willing to help, but genuinely. My partner and I had units here for a few years and enjoyed the easy access codes and how it’s pretty empty/there’s not many people around. I also can attest to the buildings security/rounds — I partially moved out of my unit and forgot to replace my lock and they called twice to make sure I wasn’t robbed. ... 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 20 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 Extra Space Storage - 5765 General Washington Drive start from $57 and can go up to $600 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.
