    Staff is really helpful. Place is clean and secure. I was able to get a U-HAUL truck from there as well to help with my move.

    Robert, Max, and Dewayne were a great crew. They arrived on time, and they hustled. We mostly used…read morethem for furniture and a few smaller items, and the cold didn't deter them. Minneapolis moving services are some of the most expensive anywhere I've experienced. I hope that simply means that MN companies pay their labor well. We paid $1365 + $180 tip (optional, but come on) for a 3-man crew at $260/hr (2-hour minimum), and we obviously also provided snacks and drinks (they declined breakfast). For comparison, in San Francisco it was $250/hr for 5 men. The rate was with both the weekday discount and winter pricing. Weekend would have been $285/hr for 3 men, and $345 for 4 men. There was no trip fee. Robert, in particular was incredible; he moved a 6 drawer dresser down a tight stairwell alone. They needed to remove the front door at one point, but did so without issue. They also were happy to use our own furniture pads and plastic wrap (leftover from a cross-country move). At one point, they had to back the huge truck through the alley on icy ground, and had no problems. Also, it was easy to provide them inventory by email, and easy to reach them by phone. Lots of moving companies were annoying to contact, which is partly why we chose this one. One a few minor issues: one piece of furniture was shedding pieces of wood. I think they were reinforcements put on by previous owners. I didn't even know they were there, and it doesn't seem to have affected the furniture. They also forgot a couple of items in the yard, including a big smoker we had to move on our own. It's partly my fault, I told them we were good to go. Also, we were made to sign a lot of paperwork, and at various points it was for things like "you confirm that nothing is broken and everything has arrived" and, like, it's weeks later and I'm still unpacking, there is no way I would have known for sure. It's fine, because so far we have had no issues, but if someone did have issues it might feel like being strong-armed via contract. The guys in the truck were just doing their jobs, so it's the process that is problematic more than anything. We would use these guys again!

They are organized, efficient, and bring an excellent variety of supplies. They work with you as you transfer one home to another or in our case storage. Our crew Kai, Zong and Bob were awesome! I highly recommend this company.

    Hi, I am leaving a mixed review for this place, and here's…read morewhy. I was in the process of moving so we rented two units here until we got settled. We moved over winter, so when it warmed up I went in to clear it out. There were so many nice turds. Some of my bags and items had been actually chewed through and items are now damaged. The rent was raised several times throughout renting here. One month it was raised I think 10 dollars, then a few months later it was raised another amount etc. this happened for a while. I never complained or asked about a discount or refund because well, I just didn't. I got my stuff out and left. Now - the positives - I will say it's nice to be able to enter at one of the many entrances, they have carts on site to use, it is climate controlled and it is fairly simple to get in and out. Staff is also extremely kind, very nice and helpful. I think it's ok for the situation I had, to just rent for a short time then get out. I couldn't imagine leaving my things in here for an extended period of time. Especially clothes. Yikes.

    *After reading the last posted review, I understand the nature of the big change in business. * **…read moreDo not rent here * rent somewhere else * your exes garage would be a better choice with less drama ** What seemed like a good idea (and I had limited options to store my belongings) has turned from a secure situation into something that reminds me of a toxic relationship. I had rented for them (Mpls location) for quite a long time due to some circumstances beyond my control. There is a yearly increase in rent (25-30%). I moved away from the Twin Cities more than a year ago, and I had been making trips when I could, just dealing with the rent increases and fees if you are late. I got a letter in the mail dated Oct 26th that told me this was their 30 day notice that the rent would increase again on Dec 1st. It was postmarked for October 31st, so it arrived a couple days later. There is no way I'm dealing with another rent increase and I don't have time in November to move my stuff. So with 3 days to handle this, I took a day off from work, and made my trips back to Minneapolis to clear my stuff out. Why would I want to pay another month's rent to just have it jacked up yet again? Your keyless access is logged every time you enter to place and leave through the gate and their video cameras record everything. They want everything cleared out and clean when you leave, however, they do not have garbage cans or trash bins let alone a broom to sweep. For me to do that would have been another day lost and all for some empty boxes. I put the lock I purchased in my pocket and left. I emailed my intentions and my stuff was out before midnight on the fourth. I work on Sundays, so I'm not going back for another very long round trip. I got an email from the manager, so I called her. The manager had the nerve to tell me she was doing me a favor by giving me the next 2-3 hours to clear out the empty boxes I left and that I better get it done. Well bless her heart for trying to be a tough guy with her strong words; I told her it would take longer than that for me to drive there. She could figure it out and my deposit should cover it. (I don't recall ever having rented without having to drop a deposit so there's that too). Also, the amount of fees over the last year (my paychecks didn't always line up with their due date and they were not my only bill) was ridiculous but I'm sure they can cover the cost of dragging a few empty cardboard file boxes out to their dumpster. Somehow, I think I gave them a better courtesy in letting them know what I'm doing than they gave me. And if not, hey - we can agree to disagree. I'm tired and sick of this kind of business tactic. This is the second time I have dealt with them and the first wasn't terrible, but they have changed and I won't do business with them again. I would not recommend them to someone I don't like either. Even my frenemies deserve better. They are not logical or honest in their dealings, and remind me a lot of predatory landlords and lenders. Do not do business unless you want a lot of hassle and double speak in your life. They are not there to take care of you or your stuff - only to collect money and/or your stuff for their auction house.

    I had 47 years of belongings for my entire family with Public Storage in Burnsville for TOO many…read moreyears!!!Moved from 5000 sq ft to 1221 sq ft. My two daughters ( age 35+) live like most people in small rental apartments, so I still store furniture etc for them too. I was in three (!) 30 ft deep X 13 ft high X 10 ft wide units with public storage. $$$.... Now it is down to two. This took (3) four week trips from FL. In 1.5 years. Donated everything to Salvation Army St Paul. Husband became extremely ill eleven years ago. We are in a lovely FL. condo he inherited. MISS Minnesota... people, culture, weather - - LOVE the cold!!!! I now have two brand newly built extra large units at Forest Lake - - grabbed them quickly for they rented out super fast. Great price. New wood pallets on entire floor. Never have water in these units, very high airy ceilings with great ventilation. Yes no heat no air conditioning so no fragile furniture, vinyl, wood, etc, but I put clothing etc in tight giant contractor extra thick plastic bags into tight big Costco ( yellow black) plastic storage boxes ( the Best/ shut very tight). I will be out of a second 30 ft unit at public storage after 1-2 more four week trips. Back breaking work - - am creating a new industry of folk buying my things at Salvation Army then flipping them online! We always expected to be in Mn but the condo's living costs are better than renting today. Goal is to find a solid 1 bedroom in MN, build out to be able to remain until I pass on, rent out FL condo. Reverend Jim the manager is the best, the kindest man you could ever ever find and work with. No bugs no rodents all these years. Immaculate rest room at office, safe secure, no crazies renting ' next door'. Women working there solo feel 100 % safe. High fence with barbed wire surround the large rural country property. Nice relaxing 30 minute drive up from the twin cities. Highly highly highly recommend!!

    We can't say enough good about Tim and the Forest Lake Mini Storage. So very helpful and easy to…read morework with. We moved from out of state, went to the old standby on the north side of town. It was dirty, full of feathers, bird poop, spiders and stunk like motor oil. The door came off the hinges and they had limited access hours. We needed an additional storage unit and found Tim at FL Mini Storage to be super helpful. We ended up liking it so much we talked to Tim about getting a bigger unit. He came through and we moved all our belongings from the other storage facility. Tim was terrific to work with and the units are clean, secure and they offer 24-hour access. We always feel safe, and we appreciated the location is easy to get to. If you need storage for the short, or long term, we highly recommend FL Mini Storage.

The boxes seem sturdier and of a higher quality than those for sale at other retailers. Even the roll of packing paper was superior to those found elsewhere. Had plenty of time to get everything unpacked once moved. We weren't in a mad rush to get everything unpacked--definitely helped ease the stress of the move. Once all the boxes were unpacked, Joe came out the next day and picked up all the boxes. It's great not having to worry about disposing of all the boxes I needed. Highly recommended!

I recently had surgery so wasn't looking forward to going and picking up boxes, etc. and then having to dispose of after my move. The owner (Joe) came and delivered the boxes and even brought them all the way up to my apartment. They seem more durable than the average one's you purchase from your local retailer. After I was done with the move I gave his service a call and they promptly set up a time to come pick up the boxes. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone facing an upcoming move. This service is a cheaper alternative to purchasing boxes outright while also being environmentally friendly as the boxes are re-used. Bottom Line - Great Experience!!
