Never rented a storage unit before. But we needed a place to store some of Grandma's extra stuff. I found them on Google we showed up with a U-Haul and the staff was super helpful guided us along the way.
We love that storage. Very convenient and Pamala is so sweet and accommodating. She is so informative and knowledgeable. Thanks for great service.
Definitely will use them again in future if I need another storage unit or covered parking.
The manager Pamela, is very nice, and always avialable to help us as customers.
Lady was very sweet and accommodating. Thankful to have them help.
