Indoor temperature controlled storage facility has secure entrance to access units. Was tenant for 9+ years. Helpful Staff, EZ access. When storage was no longer needed, the moving out process was stress free!!

Rodents got into my storage locker. They chewed holes in a couple book boxes. Rodent droppings here and there. Extra Storage had too many rate of increases. My 10' X 10' space cost me over $235.00 before I finally moved out. Unfortunately, they get you in there and then here come the rate increases. I was very happy to finally move out!!

Response from the owner · 4 years ago

Great customer service and a generally clean space. There could be some improvements though with the space itself. They should have more carts and one of the door could be a full size loading dock.

Response from the owner · 2 months ago

Thank you for your 4-star review, Marta. We're glad to hear you experienced great customer service and found our space generally clean at Extra Space Storage.
