Very friendly staff, all of them were chatty and helpful whenever I had a question. Thanks to Farid, Chaice, and Georgia for being great employees, Shurgard should be proud of their dedicated staff.

Moving in was great. I’ve used them before and it was just as easy now as it was the last time. I also received a follow up call from Rachel to check in on how it went for me which was really nice. She was lovely and gave me some more information that I needed which was really helpful.

A bit of a confused start to the rental as we wanted a different unit from the one allocated, broke off partway through registration and was unsure of the opening times as various people I spoke to prior said different times. One call and Bret sorted it all out quickly. Thanks Bret! (",)
