Read some helpful reviews of Self Storage Plus at 5321 Shawnee Road, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

After we paid online we got there and... no carts! Stench from urine and rodents, lighting not working right, a broken elevator, the unit assigned to us was literally as far from the entrance as possible and... no carts. So stench & no manager on site. We already paid online & couldnt reach a human at the toll-free number for weeks. Paid up & desperate to empty our suv, we found and used a different vacant unit that didn't have the nightmare issues that were assigned to us. Still could not reach a human. Some manager got there a few days later & locked us out of the unit we picked out. Now they trying to charge us for "unauthorized rental" that they locked us out of. Or they trying to charge us a fine if they themselves end up emptying that unit. Pay up either way?! We had to rent somewhere else, used our money elsewhere, no money left to pay this place. They trying to charge us if we keep stuff in that unit (against our will) and trying to charge us if we give up and leave our stuff there. Either way. But we spent our $ at another place. A hard bargain & a bad experience. And stench. Disgusting. Wonder if they even give one minute's thought to resolving this with decency. We believe all the positive reviews here are fake. ...

Justin was very helpful, he showed me several different sized units and helped me pick what would work for my storage needs. The facility is clean and the process of moving my stuff in was very easy.

DO NOT RENT A STORAGE UNIT HERE. Disgusting customer service from Tony and they have a rat/mice infestation problem. Rat poop everywhere!!!!! We have rented for 4 years and they can’t help us at all. We pay sooooo much a month for a trash place. This place doesn’t even deserve a 1 star. I’m sick to my stomach. We have to throw away our stuff because it’s disgusting. RAT PROBLEM. Krysta has been helpful and is still trying to help us. ... Read more

Building and units are clean and climate controlled. The billing however is awful. They raise their rates without notice and by raise the rate, I mean they double it. They will also try to bill you after canceling the unit. ... Read more

Renting the unit was seamless. I was out of state and wasn’t able to see the unit until I got there. The facility is clean and secure. Communication with the rental was amazing. I’m very happy to have found this facility and feel extremely comfortable leaving my goods here. ... Read more

Be careful! I know most of the reviews look really good (almost 5 stars), but I wouldn't trust them. This company raises the prices on its customers about every six months and without notice. I started at about $160 per month and in less than 2 years the price is almost $400 per month. This must be their business strategy because they don't care about the complaints from customers. So, it might work for you short term, but don't stay long term. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 25 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.
