The absolute worst storage facility I have ever seen. We rented a unit on the fourth floor that was marketed as “climate controlled.” The exact words used all over their website. As you can see from the pictures of the unit, it has no ceiling. There is no ventilation. It’s hot on the entire floor and it smells. We talked to the front desk lady who assured us that both the unit and each floor of the building is climate controlled because during the summer they place fans on the floors in the halls, pointing at…the floor. There is a shared loading dock in a building filled with other businesses, so good luck finding a way to actually use the dock as it’s seemingly filled with fed ex trucks/etc half the day. There is one set of elevators, and as you can see from the pictures, the elevator is out of order with the fire department here as I type this. My wife is disabled and we have a lot to move, and it’s so hot on the floor with the unit that just walking to it made us unable to breathe, I don’t know how it’s safe to allow people on these floors, there is no air flow whatsoever. The air is stale, unbreathable, and it smells. I have NO IDEA how these people haven’t been sued for false advertising at this point, they are objectively lying about their facilities. They are only open from 930-6, and that’s the only time you can use the small half-broken carts they have available for you, which is the ONLY thing they have available for you, though each floor takes several minutes to walk to the back of the building where the “cheaper” units are located. They would not bump us up to a more convenient spot for free, though they lied about what we were paying for, and in fact the smaller unit we asked for that was close enough to the elevators where we would be able to still use the unit was about 100 bucks more than we would have spent. It should have been comped after all the information falsified, and after the inconvenience of trying to use the unit it the first place. The parking lot is even too small to use since there are a bunch of businesses here and this is technically their employee parking lot. Do not use this unit. You’re better off with a basement somewhere. (Also they made my disabled wife use the stairs because they have no idea how to run a business. 😂😂😂) GO...

Takeaway: this place kinda sucks, but it is what it is. If you have other options, pay the few extra dollars to avoid the hassle.

Moved to this storage unit for it's convenient location to my apartment. I got a 10x10 unit indoors for the same price as my outdoor 5x7 unit in the burbs. Got tired of trying to defrost my locks or letting the weather determine when I could access my stuff.

Pros: Promo pricing for first few months Indoors Drive up garage near elevators

Cons: -Storage units are on 2nd floor of a building full of art studios and event spaces (a lot of non-storage visitors can go through your stuff if left unattended between trips up the elevator; hasn't happened to me, but it is something I plan around).

Small parking lot for a building that can hold hundreds of people.

Did not disclose that the price signed on the contract was promotional or when the promo period expires (but as usual, they can change the price whenever they want with 30 days notice)

Only space for one or two cars (or one moving truck) in the garage - with a massive pillar that will only allow smaller cars to use 2nd space.

Only have 2 small, semi-broken flatbed dollies (best to bring your own)

They claimed to have sent a certified letter to my address notifying me of the price increase, but I never received it. They couldn't provide proof that it was delivered either. I called the office to ask for a digital copy of it and they made a big fuss before finally sending it to me. All other docs are emailed to my account but they said they have to mail the letter certified by law (but won't agree to ALSO email the letter, "because that's the law..." that you can't send both?)

The person managing the office told me that it's normal to see price increases at least once a year, but not to exceed every...
