The facility just changed ownership/management August 2025, with the addition of new staff,…read moreincluding Mia, who is excellent, and assisted me in downsizing my unit for a significantly lower rate (Devon is 50% lower than CubeSmart was gouging. I moved my things in early September, 2023, and at that time the cost of the unit was 60% the final rate. I was considering filing a claim for any damages and contract violation until I learned that CubeSmart had sold the facility to Devon, and checking Devon unit rates/month, realized that I didn't have to move the contents of the unit into an off-site facility after all to avoid feeling like I was being ripped-off. The facility had fallen into dilapidation over the two years I was renting a fairly large unit, initially very clean, cool inside, and definitely reduced humidity: climate controlled - well into early Spring, 2024. When I arrived again after a year out of area in late June 2025 and through the middle of July, visiting the facility was an ordeal, realizing I had been paying well above market rate for an undersized unit, and that there was no climate control. I had to set up two fans I had in my unit (outlet was conveniently placed right outside my unit door) to keep from sweating all over my things, which require strict climate control in most cases. Many units had been vacated, light fixtures were hanging from their brackets as if the place had been vandalized. The front security sliding doors had been jammed open and did not close, off their guide rails. All of this ended with new management, and the place is returning to its former acceptable condition. The former manager was still excellent and polite, but the facility was unusually understaffed (despite the exorbitant rates). I feel for the CubeSmart manager. This was a CubeSmart ownership neglect issue. Devon appears to be a much more ethical and responsible company who has a business model that values quality and customer loyalty. They were very interested in me reporting any issues and making sure that my new unit rate was the lowest possible. There was no upselling or hint of secrecy in mentioning aspects of the takeover. I strongly disadvise against CubeSmart as a company, but Devon is not CubeSmart - I investigated this - and is not an affiliate.

This is not a legitimate business.

They REPEATEDLY told him that "a driver will be there in 15 minutes! He waited from 3 PM to 10 PM. When I called the number for them online, the first thing that I asked was who contracts them the most frequently in Ann Arbor. The man said " What?" I said "What businesses or institutions contract you the most frequently in Ann Arbor?" He replied, "MA'am, do you need a tow truck? We're busy and it's cold out" then hung up on me. They literally forced someone to wait outside in the cold for 6 hours, always saying "15 more minutes and a driver will show up!" It's so unprofessional to have multiple names for the same business, NOT have a website, NOT accept credit card payments, lie ("15 more minutes" turns into 6 hours of waiting outside, refuse to answer questions AND rudely bring up the fact that it's cold outside (don't customer service reps sit inside)? This isn't even a business. Y'all need to stop leaving negative reviews and instead contact IRS about the company potentially not paying taxes and potentially committing tax fraud. They don't have customers, leaving a bad review won't help. But contacting an organization to investigate them might put them out out of business if they go to prison for "accidentally" not reporting the entirety of their paid ONLY in cash earnings.

Predatory and Unethical Practices My vehicle was towed right…read morein front of me after being parked for less than 10 minutes. When I immediately spoke to the tow truck driver, he told me he would release my car and not tow it if I paid $200 in cash on the spot. I didn't have cash, so the tow proceeded. I was then informed that getting my car out of the impound would require $400, cash only. I was told the wait would be 3-3 1/2 hours because they were busy. In reality, it took approximately 10 hours to retrieve my car. I waited outside in freezing, snowy conditions for over three hours and repeatedly called the office. I was told a driver would arrive around 7 PM, then repeatedly told "15-20 minutes," until about 10 PM. When the vehicle was finally released, I was again required to pay $400 in cash only, and I was not provided with any receipt. The cash-only demands, lack of receipts, misleading delays, and request for money on the spot to avoid towing raise serious concerns. This was an extremely frustrating and unprofessional experience, and I would not recommend this company.

I was super happy when I discovered Affordable Storage! As compared to the other similar option nearby, I found Affordable Storage to be much cleaner, the units easier to access, and less in/out traffic, which made me feel more secure about where I would be leaving my belongings. There are a variety of bins and carts available for you to use when shuttling items between your vehicle and storage unit, which I have found very useful. The only drawback is the hours, which are pretty limited; especially on Sundays, when you can only access your unit for three short hours. Having said that, you just need to plan accordingly.

I didn't need assistance often but when I did the desk staff was very friendly. The move out process was easy and they give you a 4 day grace period if your move out coincides with your monthly renewal date, so you have a good amount of time should you need it before getting charged. They did accidentally charge me after I moved out but a quick phone call got me a nice apology and my money refunded ASAP. Not a huge problem. Prices were on par with other storage areas I've used as well. Units fill up quickly in the spring as students get storage units for their things for the summer so I'd recommend getting a space in the winter or fall just in case. Pretty good across the board!
