He's always friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. Whether it's answering questions, helping with access, or just making sure everything runs smoothly, he goes above and beyond every time. You can tell he takes pride in his work and actually cares about the customers, which makes a huge difference. Honestly, it feels like he's carrying the weight of the whole team at times--and he still does it all with a smile. Huge thanks to Jose for showing up every day with a positive attitude and making the experience so much better.

I have been a customer for almost three years. I chose this location because it was close,…read moreconvenient and when we walked through to check it out manager, Jose, was so nice and helpful. He has been absolutely wonderful and a pleasure to work with. Always helpful, professional and a really warm personality. As result of a house fire and total loss of my property, I had a few things I was able to salvage and store and needed to add another unit. He was kind and understanding and helped us find the right sized unit. While my construction went on longer than expected I needed to add another unit. I have had a total of 3 units here. No issues with billing or payments. They're timely with receipts and communication for rent increase. It seems unfair, and I'm disappointed that the monthly rents continue to rise for consistent customer account's that are current. But, I know that's how the storage rental business works. The building is climate controlled, and always clean. As other customers have noted, the one bathroom is inconsistently available and often locked. Not always stocked with supplies and the faucet at the sink was broken and not promptly repaired. The elevators are a nice size and fits a lot of items with no issues. In the years I've been a customer, I've never experienced them broken. Extremely easy to get in and out of the building with access. But overall, a very nice experience. My only complaint would be the parking. At times, You have to be strategic about your visit to get parking. Over time, there were used to be a couple of women that worked in the office with Jose. Haven't seen them in a while. But, always friendly and prompt. We did not start having issues until they hired this guy, who refuses to give out his name, so we'll call him "NoName". NoName is extremely rude, dismissive and unprofessional. We walked in the office to get a cart, NoName did not greet us, and barely even acknowledged we entered the door. NoName looked up and said, "What do you want?" I looked at my husband and just walked out. Another time when he initially started working there and Jose was on break, I asked him when the manager would be back - so I could review all my contracts - he said "I am the manager, what do you want?". The tone was so disrespectful and condescending. I'm assuming he didn't know we were long time customers. But, he was not like that with a Hispanic couple that came in while he was supposed to be helping us. They were greeted warmly and asked to wait patiently, while his demeanor changed when coming back to us. Maybe it's a race thing, but I know it's intentionally directed. We typically stop in to say hello. But, I had gotten to the point where I would just avoid the office if Jose was not in the window. Jose let us know NoName was an assistant and not a manager. We told Jose about the guys behavior, and he mentioned he had been told the same by other customers and would deal with it. Apparently, it was not dealt with. I went into the office recently to close one of my units. I talked with Jose, and he advised we could leave the unit emptied, cleaned and remove our lock and let them know. I did exactly that, took pictures and video, left the unit lock off and emailed the store my proof of exit. I called in to confirm exiting and NoName answered. I explained I vacated my unit, took pictures, emailed proof, just wanted to confirm. NoName said, "why did you do that? You have to do an exit walkthrough". I let him know that I followed the instructions by Jose. NoName said, "well I'll go walk it and if it looks ok I'll email you". I said thanks and what's your name, he paused, said "well ok I'll let you know and hung up". I immediately called back and no answer. Even if that was not the process, it was definitely convenient for us and he did not have to be rude and hang up on me. They'll be losing a good customer by end of cycle. One person really can ruin the reputation of an entire business. I know it's bigger than one customer and the owner makes enough money to not care about one customer. So, I can take my business elsewhere.

I received a call on 4/12 to go in and make this months payment in person and in cash as the payment was returned by the bank. I went in today Sunday 4/13 to make the payment in person and asked if I could go back to my account being charged as usual and I was told no, that my account has been flagged to make payments in cash moving forward...wow, after 5 years of being a faithful customer. This is the 2nd and last disappointment I've had with this facility, as I will be clearing it out late this month. My 1st incident was I late March when I contacted them to see if I can get a larger unit as we were relocating to a different city. I figured I could take advantage of their moving truck but I was denied the truck as it's only for new tenants. Sadly, when we stopped by there to get a few things their truck was parked for the day.

She never acknowledged me while I was waiting. Finally, at 7:00, she asked if I needed help.

If that was an option, why didn't she mention it 30 minutes prior when I first walked in? Letting a customer stand there for half an hour just to give them attitude and tell them to use the app is completely unprofessional. I am very disappointed with how my time was wasted.

Today the control panel to input the access code for the main building entrance, the only entrance to get into the storage, has clearly been tampered with.

There's always trash in the hallways, I see the front desk lady cleaning sometimes but she clearly needs help. Not to mentioned they continuously raise the rent price on the unit. I started paying around $50 (first month discount), to $99, now I'm paying almost $150 and it hasn't even been 6 months. Just don't come here.

They will bait and switch you and they have horrible customer service. No one was there when I arrived at 1:30pm. I called the phone number, no one answers. I am standing there with 3 movers who are ready to unload, but we can't get past the gate. Eventually someone picks up the phone and rudely says they left to assist other customers (this was a lie, the employee with the poorly drawn on eyebrows was in the back of the office in an employee only area). I say no problem and step inside to fill out paperwork. Right off the bat, this woman had an attitude. She claims I don't have a reservation. I say yes I do, and show her the email. I ask if I can have the driver pull the truck in while we fill out paper work. She smugly says no. Bait and switch #1: she tells me I will have to pay a higher rate for insurance than I was told when I made the reservation. Bait and switch #2: she also tells me I will need to pay 3 months up front (this is fine but it would've been nice if I was informed when I made the reservation and discussed with them over the phone). At this point, I am uncomfortable, annoyed, and getting the impression that she has no interest in helping me. She say that I have an attitude and that I can find storage elsewhere. I understand they have the right to refuse service, but I don't have time to find a new storage facility (moving is stressful enough), so I try to apologize. Asked her what I can do to make this right. She still says no. I tell her to have a wonderful day and inform the moving crew. The movers plead with her because they want to get the job done. No luck, she tells them the same thing: we are not welcome here. We had to call around to other storage facilities and got very lucky to find a cheaper unit at a higher quality facility that doesn't require 3 months payment up front. It all worked out and I'm so glad I didn't give them any of my money. These are terrible people and they don't deserve to be in business.
