Came in to enquire for a unit as I’m moving soon and never used storage. Sorina was kind and knowledgeable and put me at ease with the process. I even bought some boxes to help with my packing. The storage is clean and easy to navigate around. Smooth experience!

An excellent facility made even better by patient and kind staff. We had to adjust the size of storage multiple times in the day and they were happy to do so. Made life a lot easier on a busy, hot day.
