I had a 10x15 upstairs here for over 2 years. This place serves its basic purpose just fine with no extras. Just the basics. The units have no lights and are often dark inside. The carts are beat and sometimes missing. It gets pretty hot inside in the summer here compared to others ive been in locally. With the cons being said tho, this place is good for the price. Plenty of choices and the prices are very competitive for this area. Worth it. Id rent here again.

I had a problem with my lock and Shawn was THE BEST! She contacted a locksmith and he cut the lock off. She was fast, efficient and professional. I will always use A-1 for my storage needs and I highly recommend them.

I'm so glad to hear we were able to help, Thomas! Thanks for leaving your feedback.

I went here after seeing the great reviews and i must say I was not disappointed. The elevators are wide and they have roller carts which fit right in the elevators as well. There was enough room for my fridge and washer plus the cart full of my stuff, aka plenty of space. If your military this is the place to go; you get 5 percent off your monthly bill. Ask for Grace or Shawn, they were fantastic.

Thank you for sharing your experience and welcome to A-1, Phillip!

I found this facility on Yelp and based on their awesome reviews, I decided to give them a call to ask as many questions as I can possibly think of since I had a HORRIBLE experience with a previous storage facility and it's joke of an "owner". Let me just say these reviews do NOT lie! Shawn and Grace are a dynamic duo. They are funny, honest, patient and most of all, PROFESSIONAL! When I came in there, I instantly clicked with them. It's kind of hard not to. While Grace was at lunch, Shawn spoke to everyone that would walk i... read more

I have nothing but great things to say about A-1. Shawn is awesome! She was so helpful during the move out process. She helped me coordinate with Salvation Army and kept me informed along the way (there were issues with Salvation Army). She even helped guide my husband out of the facility in our HUGE moving truck when another car was blocking the exit. As we unpack, we have found no damage to any of stuff. No insects, moth holes or heat damage (including a large vinyl record collection). The units are well insulated and spra... read more
