The unit is cleaned but the price is confused. I thought I got a free first month rent. But I don't see it my bill.

Unhappy Customer Apr 10, 2024

What a Joke

This place has gone down hill in the last 6 months or So It's Dirty The Bathroom is gross never any toilet paper in there The bay door on the Eastside of building has been broken since Novemberof 23.They have raiesd the rent again,However what do the customers get in return?? Not a Dann Thing.The floor's are so nasty the elevator is Nasty.The second floor has a non-stop beeping sound that's been beeping for the last few months.As for climate control? That's false advertising.Theres no way in Hell it's climate controlled.You have all these facilities,That look really great.Except this one It's become the Same as it used to be Nasty.I don't understand how they can justify a rent increase . I could say a lot more about this place.But that will all come out soon enough.

Quick and reasonably priced! Friendly staff!

Kayla, the gal I met with to finalize my unit, was awesome! Super friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable. My only issues with this facility are with the building/design itself. The lighting is very poor in parts of the 2nd floor, and units have very little light filtering in from the aisle lights. Low clearance and obstacles like vertical i-beams inside some units take space away.

Pauline Wright Mar 20, 2023

No. Story

I rented to storage until my house is ready the only thing is they need more than two carts cause waiting on others to complete there move was the only thing I didn't like but other than that it is a good place to storage

Recommended: Yes

Courtney Mar 20, 2023

Friendly staff

Decent place for decent price

Recommended: Yes

Shawndra Hawkins Aug 28, 2022

Great place and good location

Storage unit itself is very clean. It seems to be a busy place so the 2 carts they have for moving aren't enough. They definitely need a couple more. Customer service rep was super friendly and the process was very easy and the pricing is great considering this time in the economy.

Recommended: Yes

Michelle Aug 14, 2022

Dawn, the employee at the office was AWESOME & SUPER FRIENDLY!!

The overall experience wasn’t bad but it was a little difficult pulling in to the bay as there was a huge junk truck from a customer in the way & they looked alittle sketchy. I may/may not utilize CubeSmart again as I was alone unloading my boxes & kinda nervous. I think there shud be someone manning a security desk in the hallways of the cubes, most definitely.

Recommended: Yes

Linda Wycoff Aug 05, 2022

The staff was curtious and the storage area was clean and easy to get into.

Overall this business is topnotch for customer service. I would highly recommend it to my family and friends if they are in need of a storage unit. Great service!!!!

Michael Nov 03, 2021

Awesome

The girl that helped me was outstanding very nice knowledgeable, she knew her around that maze and took the time to show different units till we got right one Thanks

Recommended: Yes

Sherry Oakley Sep 03, 2021

Overall a good experience once I was able to contact someone

I had some issues with moving in due to being short staffed and no one in the office during business hours. Once I was finally able to get someone the system was down. Overall the staff are extremely friendly and helpful with making sure I was having my needs met. The facility is nice and clean I would definitely recommend in the future.

Recommended: Yes

Brand New, Nice Layout, Friendly Staff

Victoria was awesome. Gave a nice tour of the facility and showed several different units so we could make the right decision on size. She even made suggestions on rental strategy when it came to deciding between a 5x5 and a 5x10. Ultimately went with the 5x5 and it was perfect. Thanks Victoria!!
