Probably won't have my things here too much longer. Went from paying $111, and not too long ago just got a card in the mail stating the rate will go up to $151 as of this month (Nov). I have had my things at this storage for maybe a year now, and prices have went up TWICE!! In this economy, that's one last thing that I want to worry about is having to pay more every month. No thank you! I'll either look somewhere else or look into buying the same size space shed from either Lowe's or Home Depot to put in my backyard.

Sabrina was sweet 😋. Office smelled new, along with the storage area. Bluetooth entry into premises. You can unload in the bay if you brought a lot or just need to get out of the elements. (The Big Door on the left is North. The one on the right is South.) Climate controlled is a nice way to go for storing items you don't want outside. Pricey, but you get what you pay for, storage.

Complete rip off just to warn you, their prices go up like $100 and four months of having your things there. I have used them before and all of a sudden they have price increases in four months that’s crazy and they need to be upfront and honest with people when I booked this, I asked about prices and was not told this !!!! Even asking about if prices would change and was told that they wouldn’t! What a scam!
