I couldn't be happier with the excellent customer service they provided in finding me the best locker in my price range. Their facilities are clean and very secure. I will continue to use them for any future storage needs and recommend them to anyone seeking the same. UPDATE: I just secured a second storage locker for some household items and Joanna and her team did another great job of supplying what I need in a timely manner. Their facilities are secure, clean, well-lit, and easy to access with the elevator, convenient parking, and provided carts. I would recommend them to anyone seeking storage needs.

Very deceptive pricing -- expect to pay nearly twice their quoted rate after 4 months…read more I was looking for a storage locker in late April, and saw a small space at Extra Space Storage for $129/month. When I called, they told me that was in fact the rate, BUT they could only rent it to me if they could add a $14/month "insurance" charge, even if I didn't want my stuff insured. So at the beginning, the quoted $129/month was really $143. But I decided that was okay. They asked me to pay the first 4 months in advance, and I agreed. As soon as that 4 months was over, I received the attached rate increase in the mail: My $129/month rate was raised to $209/month BEFORE I could even make my first single monthly payment. Note the code in the lower right corner: "20250424 RATEINCR" -- that is, a Rate Increase that they planned for on April 24th, 2025, the day that I signed up with them. The contract does clearly say that they can change the rates whenever they want, so this isn't illegal, but this code makes it clear that from day one they expected to quickly change the pricing that their website quoted. That $129/month quote that attracted me was, as soon as they could change it, up to $223/month -- over $1100/year more than they advertised. They understand that once you have moved your stuff in, it is a lot of work to move it back out, and they are unethically taking advantage of that. I called, and the woman I talked to explained that 4 months is when they usually raise rates. I explained (politely, but heatedly) that I thought this was an unethical business practice, and that I'd leave reviews saying so. They took my name and called back a couple of hours later to reduce my $80 rent increase to a $40 rent increase. So, if they live up to this phone call (which we will see next month), they've only increased my rent by 31%. So anyone wanting to do business with them, you should budget a significant price increase 4 months after you move in, and you'll need to make a call and threaten to move out if you don't want it to be 60+%. If you do decide that pricing is acceptable (or maybe all locker places play these kind of pricing games), also know that the app is pretty cool and opens the gates and outer doors, but that app is spotty, I believe due to bluetooth/cellphone connectivity being blocked by all the concrete and steel in the location. Also, of the 3 times we visited to load our locker, the elevator was broken one of those times, which was a LOT of stairs to climb while carrying boxes of books.

I was lucky enough to sign up when it was nearly brand new so I got an amazing rate for a very large space. I was floored by the cheap move-in rate (including complimentary driver and truck!) and managed to move my entire store essentially for free! I wasn't sure how long I was going to end up keeping my stuff there, and the staff could not have been more kind or accommodating in giving me ongoing discounts, and generally making my life there SO easy. On top of all that, the facilities are virtually spotless, so secure, and easy to access at any time of day or night. Best storage experience I've ever had - have definitely referred to many friends.
