Mid December in 2024 I rented a storage space for an agreed price of $110. After 6 months they…read moreraised the price to a whopping $179. Customer Service was great, and the storage space was perfect, but raising the price by that much after such a short space of time was crazy. I immediately moved out and will never use this company again. Beware of the low initial price offered for units....if they have someone new who wants to rent your space, they will raise the price so high that , in my case, was almost double. So much for caring about your customers and their loyalty to their business. I would never recommend this business. I used this storage space prior to Self Storage Plus acquiring the business, and much prefer the previous owner who did not rip you off like this.

I requested for a refund and she said the $29 admin fee was non refundable. Plus she can only refund me the charge for the lock Today. The remaining $127 will be refunded once she submits and gets approval from corporate office. the unit is still showing as active on my account and the same 3 units are still advertised online as being available as of now.

So I moved my things out but they charged me for a full month rent for one of the bays which was over $600! I had items in there for 5 of the 30 days of June so I was expecting a refund of the difference. I was told that because I did not notify the Gainesville office and notified the 1-800 corporate they would not refund my money. Buyer beware!! I will not use this facility again as a result of this billing practice!

Awful customer service!…read more We reserved a unit that we would need for about six months. On the day that we had reserved, we arrived to pay and was told it was just sold to someone else. My wife was visibly shaken. The clerk's only response was "If somebody is standing in front of me with money in hand, I'm not going to tell them no!" To remedy the situation, they offered 2 smaller units (1 climate controlled, one not) that would add up to the same square footage as the one (climate controlled) they sold away. When my wife asked if she could be charged the price of the single unit we were supposed to get, they said it was not an option. We will use CubeSmart instead.

I had only had this lease for 3 months before they jacked up the prices. No excuse was given to me by "Jessica" for the rate increase and she offered me a different unit for the same price of $110 a month. She later stated that per the lease they can raise the storage rate after 6 months. I haven't even been there 6 months. She further stated that a letter was mailed out to me in February. Well I was deployed for the entire month of February and the mail was held. No letter from them was ever received. I told her that and she did not have a reply. This is a shady business practice.

I have had units there for twenty years. For two years I have kept a credit balance on my account…read moreas that was the rate two years ago and I wanted to be ahead a month. They recently raised the rate again, but I paid the full amount September 2, 2015. Imagine my shock when I went to my units and found them locked with red locks. The person on duty took the locks off, but no explanation was given other than it was a computer glitch. How can an account with an over payment be confused with no payment? I was charged a twenty five dollar late fee and sent a letter stating I didn't pay the rent and if I didn't promptly pay, the next letter would say they were selling my stuff. I have yet to get an explanation that makes sense, or a letter of apology acknowledging the mistake, or informing me of the refund of the late fee to my account. I have called and left a message and visited the office three times. I can't get an answer or a confirmation that the late fee has been returned. Also the facility is a mess. The pavement is full of pot holes and the trash facility is gone, yet they raised the rent. There are vehicles in front if my unit and it appears they put profits ahead of taking care of the facility. There are 30 red locks in just the one part of the facility. I just don't believe I am the only one they are trying to illegally and unfairly take possessions from. I paid the rent but they locked me out and have now made the first move to take my stuff. I don't think it is right but so far no one has set it right. The man who wrote the letter did take the locks off and he has been nice, but to my knowledge, the issue has not been rectified. I tried to call two different numbers this morning to leave another message, but all I get is a fax machine noise, even though I called the phone numbers listed. I don't know what is happening regarding management over there, but I do know that in twenty years of having storage units there, until now, no one has had trouble in not mistaking having a two hundred eighty dollar credit for non payment. As a footnote to my review, I got a call today that they are removing the late charge and sending me a letter that my account is fine. Haven't received it yet, but I'm told it's coming. I'm still wondering how this could have happened, and I had a receipt acknowledging payment September 2nd and that didn't keep them from putting locks on my units and claiming non payment. I'm not sure what good a letter will do, but I requested it in case they do sell my stuff at auction. This has never happened to be before. It's not typical for a business to cash a check, give a receipt, but then claim non payment while a two hundred eighty dollar credit was on the account too. At least I think they are fixing it, but how do I know it won't happen again? I plan on moving my things out of there.
