I am trying to understand- I do not know if my needing just 17 days was the problem or if they didnt check when they said they had space. I always feel bad when business relationships turn out so. I am leaving it as a 3 for an average- I had such delightful positive interactions in past.

Dropping off is even easier, I just call a couple minutes out and the gate is open when I arrive. I just drive in, disconnect and drive off. They are also super responsive to calls and emails.

I will start off with the good. Nice and clean facility…read morewith clean bathrooms and some carts available to help you move your heavy items. Inside, the place looks very industrial, like in an almost dystopian way. Everything is this bright white and super clean. Nice location sandwiched between Whole Foods and Homegoods. Ok so now the bad about this place. Like most storage spots, expect for the rent to rise. However, I suggest that you stay way from this place. They get you in the door with a promo offer and then when the promo expires, they jack the rent up to an insane rate. We went from 125.00 a month to 181.00 for the same little space. I stated looking for a new storage company as soon as I received the notification and found a great spot, with a larger space, for a fraction of the cost in Shoreline. Unless you can afford the price hike, stay away from this place.

Total scam. Their rental agreement is month-to-month so they can exponentially raise your rates…read morewith less than 30 days notice. I just got a postcard (!!) in the mail from them saying they are raising the rate 57% starting in 20 days. This is despite the fact that everything else I have done with them (including signing the rental agreement) has been done online and I have an account with their online portal. They have not sent an email, put a notification in my online account, or otherwise contacted me. They are clearly hoping people will throw away the postcard assuming it is junk mail and not be aware of the absurd increases. Oh and did I mention that the postcard has a "notification date" of 1/28/26 but was clearly not sent out that day as I did not receive it until 2/16/26. Would absolutely not recommend these con artists.

To anyone thinking about using a storage facility managed by Public storage PLEASE READ THE REVIEWS…read moreCAREFULLY BEFORE! I was told by customer service that prices would not increase more than 8% a year; but after 4 months my storage unit went up in price by 54 dollars (a 33% increase) without there really being a reason for that. I would not go with them anymore at all. On top of the price hike, the floor I had my unit on smelled of dead mice or rats. It was that cheesy really bad smell that was in there for the 6 months I rented; it never went away. The opening times are inconvenient for someone who works all day. In short: look for a better and serious company; the only nice thing I can say is that the toilet was clean and that the guys working there were nice overall. ( I used the one at Alaskan Way in Seattle).

I have a 70sq ft unit. I entered at $151/month in January 2025. May 2025 they raised it to $193…read more December 2025 they raised it to $220. An increase of 45% in one year. There are currently 120sq ft units listed at $156/month. If you are 6 days late, you face a fee of $44. If you are 30 days late, they begin the auction process in which case you have to pay a $200 fee. They are more interested in getting you in cheap, raising your rate quick and forcing evictions for quick turn around. As the manager told me, "Storage isn't meant to be a long term thing, you're only supposed to be here for a few months. We have people with the same size unit as you that have been here for years that are paying $400-500".

After 12 years of having a storage unit and mailbox there, after the place was sold to SecureSpace,…read morethings changed to the worst. Frequent rent increases made it very unaffordable, I moved out of the storage unit, but kept the mailbox. Recently, I got an email saying I was being EVICTED from the mailbox. After several phone calls, I got an answer "that USPS has decided that SecureSpace nolonger qualifies to be a mailbox service". I called USPS, they said they did not disqualify SecureSpace. So, was i lied to? Major inconvenience to get a new mailing address. 12 years of being a customer, and I get corporate b.s. After being "evicted", I still got a bill for the following month! My experience since SecureSpace has been very poor, bad communication and lies. Very unprofessional and unorganized.

Back in September, she called me to let e know I hadn't properly locked my storage-space door, and when I got there to fix that, she gladly accompanied me up to show me how the locking works. I really appreciated the vigilance, because I had been there only the day before. Obviously, Lisa was checking to make sure things were locked up right. I see by other reviews that some people have had problems, and I can't speak to that, but compared to the storage company where I, myself, last rented a space, Ballard CubeSmart is many cuts above.

My bank records show clearly that payments have been made on time 100% of the time. I have talked with the on-site manager who only suggests the problem is with my bank. When I asked for the phone number of the business owner, he responded "I'm not going to give you that." Out of frustration, I'm moving my storage to another facility. Good luck to you if you choose to use Mini Max Storage.

BUT THE FACILITY ITSELF WAS SHOCKINGLY BAD FOR THE PRICE. No climate control at all, freezing in winter and very hot in summer. Moths got into some rugs and hangings stored there, and I had to throw them away. A trunk with clothing in it, as well as boxes of books and papers were very musty smelling, the items in the trunk so bad they too had to be thrown out. All this for a small (5x5) unit which started out a few years ago at $108 a month but had been $259/mo. for quite a while by the time I vacated it. Glad to be out of there!

I'm looking for alternatives after one year. As a small business owner who needs space to store…read moreinventory, I need two things: a dry, convenient space and reasonable, consistent pricing that allows me to grow my business over the long term. Do not be fooled by CubeSmart's "deals" or their sales pitch. This company preys on customers like a rabid vampire. The only thing you can count on is that your rent will increase every six months, like clockwork. And we are not talking increases of 2-5% to keep up with inflation, either. After six months, my rent increased 20%. Six months later, my rent was increased another 20%, for a total increase after one year of 40%--which equates to an additional $81 per month / $1000 per year. As a small business owner, there is no possible way I can absorb a 20% increase for inventory storage every six months. A $1000 increase is BRUTAL. And, damn near, criminal. And guess what, it'll go up another 20% in six months. Who treats their customers like this? ... A company that doesn't give a crap about their customers that's who. CubeSmart's only goal is to bilk their customers for as much money as possible until they get fed up and leave. Complain and you'll be told that "periodic increases are necessary to maintain their stellar service" and that "it's in the contract that rent increases may happen". Your service won't improve, nothing will change. It's not like they will suddenly start rolling out a red carpet for you each time you visit your unit. In what world is a 40% increase over the course of one year reasonable? Inflation is currently 8% (and falling). Either CubeSmart is terrible at running their business or they are purposely screwing their customers. You decide. Think about it this way: I don't live in this space nor can I legally work in this space. All I can do is store my inventory in a 10x15 space no larger than my living room ... My apartment rent went up $10 per month or $120 per year. Make sense to you? Nah, me neither. CubeSmart will not work with you on pricing. You will be given the option of moving your belongings or inventory to a new, similar unit to take advantage of online rates--which means moving 5000 pounds of inventory (in my case) every six months, sucking it up and paying the increase, or moving out. You're a captive, they know it, and they will take advantage of you as long as you are willing to pay their extortionate rental rates. Also, the access hours for this location are less than ideal (read: crappy), especially for people who vend at markets on the weekend. While the staff at Nickerson is terrific, I cannot recommend this company at all, especially if you are a small business. Look elsewhere. Update 6/23: Recently received my fourth rate increase in just under two years. Each increase ranged between 15% and 20%, the latest increase amounted to another $50 per month for a total increase of $190 per month ... I moved my entire inventory out immediately. Never again. This company is a legalized theft syndicate--Don't fall for their "specials".
