I do not recommend this storage facility.
After only four months of renting a basic, non–climate controlled 10×15 unit, my monthly rent was doubled — from $79 to $158 — with no improvements made to the unit or facility.
I received no notice because the increase was mailed to my old address, even though they regularly send text messages and emails reminding me to make my monthly payment.
Their online payment history also displays multiple duplicate payments each month, which I did not make. This makes it difficult to trust the accuracy of their billing system.
In addition, they have recently restricted access hours due to ongoing gate issues, suggesting that they are unable to adequately maintain the property.
Overall, the facility doubled my rent while offering no improvements - only more restricted access, billing inconsistencies, and unresolved gate issues suggesting inadequate property maintenance.
If you’re considering this facility, be aware.
