I had an excellent experience from the first contact onward. The manager lives on site and really went above and beyond the call of duty, is on-call via phone all the time (after hours - leave a message and you get a rapid call-back), and from what I recall has monitors in her house. It seemed like every time I was there after hours I saw her car there and I came there fairly frequently so she is on-site a lot after hours. She is in the office until 6 so you can drop by after work if you want. The security cameras are sharp and a good amount. They are on top of pest control prevention. There are outlets outside the units so if you need electricity you can use an extension cord to bring it into your unit. Unlike other area storage units that charge $25 and up for one-time sign-up fees, when I signed up at the Cobb Parkway Ark Self Storage location fall 2016 there was no fees besides the first month's rent and when I signed up you got half off the first months rent. I had a climate control unit and it was kept at a warmer temperature in the winter than other storage units do and nice and cool in the summer. It was also great to be comfortable when I was sorting through my unit, not freezing in winter or sweating in summer. The other people who I met who rented there were very friendly and accommodating. As an attractive young woman I went there often even late at night and I never felt unsafe. I always knew the manager was on-site and just a phone call away. Plus some of the patrons are very nice people who come frequently. They stayed out of my business, but I knew if trouble started they would help out. There are a few bands that practice there at the time I write this, but they are required to be in the climate control units (per management) so they are not loud. They are actually really great bands musically speaking when I went and put my ear close to the door. They are super polite. No one ever pushed me, talked very much to me, or pressured me, but just said hi and left me to do what I needed to do, which is something I liked. The manager on site is very friendly but not pushy either. read more
