I may share a unit with my brother, but I have yet to have a major issue with this facility. Easy access only downside is the frozen keypad otherwise chris is fantastic and knowledgable when concerned about downsizing. Will definitely continue to do business here!

The staff is great and facility ok except the gate code box keeps not working because the keypad supposedly freezes and I couldn't get in without the manager. What if I needed access for something of importance? A broken keypad is not customer issue but facility issue of Extra Storage!

I'm a long-term renter who has had mostly good experiences. The only real downside is ease of access in cold weather. The entry keypad is difficult to use when the temperature drops. Twelve degrees today and it took four attempts to get the gate to open. I suspect the electronic components are out of specifications. The exit keypad is the same model and works fine.

I've been a customer over a year now of this particular location. I've only dealt with Chris, but his customer service is always above and beyond! If I ask a question, he has a quick and knowledgeable answer. If I need help and ask for it, he's always given more than I've asked for.
The facility itself is also well-kept, well-lit, and all of the units have easy accessibility. Wide hallways also help move your items in and out. The other facilities I toured before landing on this one did not come close to how this facility is kept.
I've gone through 2 moves while having this as my storage facility and have never thought of moving to another location or company.
Customer service and cleanliness are rare nowadays so this is definitely a hidden gem.
