MyStorage Centers at a glance

Reviewers frequently praise the facility's cleanliness, professional staff, and helpful communication regarding unit sizes and account updates. The availability of on-site trucks is noted as a convenient service feature. However, lower-rated feedback highlights significant concerns about price increases over time, mandatory insurance costs, and the lack of prorated billing. Additional criticisms include limited 24/7 access to personal property and the short duration of motion-activated lighting in certain unit locations.

Staff is super nice , facility is always clean . The only major issue I have is my storage is located near the motion light and I can’t get anything done in there because if I’m not near the door of my unit, the light goes out . I’ve timed it and stays on for about 8 minutes if I’m all the way inside my unit. I have to stop what I’m doing and walk into the hallway to trigger the light to come back on . VERY FRUSTRATING!! Can’t get anything done .
