They raise their prices a lot every year, so you're stuck paying unless you move your stuff. The staff is so-so, not super friendly. It does have better security though since nine units were broken into a few years back. I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Units are infested with critters. They also went up on the rent for the unit. The price isn't worth it.

I was completely satisfied with the level of customer service, Jessica was really professional and answered all of my questions. They got me set up in no time, no need to look around, A-1 is the place to go.

I'm writing this review on behalf of my uncle. He had a storage unit here for 7 months and the last few times he's gone his stuff has been ransacked. Boxes have been dumped over and the tape has been removed and out back on. You can definitely tell someone has been in there and he is the only one with a key. They've also increased the price 2 times without any notice. I wouldn't recommend this storage unit at all. 

Business response:

We're sorry to hear you're dissatisfied, Genevieve M. We, like most storage companies, review those rates at 5-6 months and sometimes make adjustments accordingly. We then review rates again after another 12 months and evaluate market conditions and pricing. I am also sorry to hear about the condition of the boxes inside the unit.

Needed storage space for a couple months and A-1 delivered exactly as advertised. The manager Jessica was very professional and gracious! My unit was on the second level, right next to the stairs, which made loading and unloading relatively painless. Be aware that any lock type other than a cylinder lock won't work - bring your own or they can provide one.
