This storage unit is full of moths that will destroy your clothes, I had everything triple bagged with thick garbage bags and they still found a way to get it. If you must use this place just beware and make sure everything is in air tight containers if you don't want your stuff destroyed. There are way more affordable units then this in Chicago.

Stay Away!!! This place is a trap. My partner and I had 3 units here. They contained everything we…read moreowned while we were in between homes. Including our parents ashes, one of a kind art pieces made by myself and my late husband, irreplaceable family heirlooms and so much more. Oue entire lives. We were victims of a Con artist and took a financial hit that was extremely difficult to recover from. We fell behind on the rent. I presented our hardship to the staff here. I cried and begged them to please give us time to not loose everything we had. But, instead they raised the rent. We did everything we could to raise the money. Paid them thousands and got within a few hundred dollars from paid off. So, they raised the rent again and added more fees. We begged. My Mother even paid what she could and begged them as well to have a heart. But, we lost everything. The money we thought would be our cushion to be able to rebuild our lives went to paying fees to these heartless people. We were $200 short and we lost everything. Still on the streets now hoping to rebuild our lives. Stay Away!!

You have to write down the full Credit Card number, the expiration date, and even the CVV on what looks like a badly photocopied piece of paper. When we had to change the card on file, we had to actually go to the office and complete another dodgy looking form, rather do it online, securely, through a website or an app. Surely having to write down your entire Credit Card number with expiration date and CVV is not PCI compliant (and yet I did it anyway). Two, they raised our rate immediately after signing up and then they raised it again shortly after that. We hadn't even had the unit for one year. Our original rate was $47/month when we joined in May, in July it was raised to $59/month, and then in November it was $65/month. Three, we attempted to access our storage unit outside of office hours a few times but the pin pad to get into the building was broken more often than it worked. The last time we went, our car was full of stuff but couldn't get in (again). This was deal breaker for us. Other things that were annoying: there is no dedicated parking, only street parking. The office and lobby area wreak of cigarette smoke. The storage unit itself was fine, but the floor was unfinished. When we went to say we were moving out, there were no questions asked. Just a "what is your unit number?" and "sign here" and "here's your move out receipt". Like ok, bye?

My 1st visit was really good as Maria showed me around and explained how the units worked. Upon hearing that I would need my storage unit for a couple more weeks Maria extended my reservation to keep my rate and that really helped. On move in day I was given a phone call the day before, to check to make sure what time I was going to arrive. I was able to reschedule my time when I realised that the time slot didn't work any longer. The office staff were very flexible with helping me out. I was able to complete the whole moving process in less than 30 minutes. Overall I am happy with my unit I end up getting a 10 by 7 and a 1/2. I do like the ease of unloading my S UV into their docking station. I appreciate the climate control as it can get really hot during the summer and I was worried about my electronics. This was the true reason I picked this location even though about $50 more per month than the location about 2 miles away. All in all super excited about the fringe benefits of this location, To include utilization of a moving truck. The nice thing is that they allow you to use the moving truck up to 2 weeks from your moving date. This alone is going to save me a $150.

Jason is the guy who runs this place and he goes out of his way to make this an attractive option for storage. He cares, he tries his best within the constraints he has with corporate SSS. I now have 3 units here. I think that says the most. I had one when I posted my original review and despite the shortcomings I hit, Jason has earned my business. This place isn't perfect but it is better than the many I've dealt with in the last 4-5 years.

I have a relative who has several storage units here, and wanted to give prospective unit renters…read morean idea of how, at least, this place works. Although there's a small office attached, it's not always staffed. Access to the storage units is by keypad entry to the bay doors, and to an inner gate fastened with a magnet. The individual storage units then have your own padlock. There's access to the facility during business hours, even if the attendant is not there, but the keypads stop working after business hours. I've been helping a relative downsize, due to illness, and been making multiple trips here to store their excess things. The drive-in bays are EXTREMELY helpful if you are unloading a van, say, or just trying to stay out of the elements.

The facility is just old and crusty. Access is limited to two bays with nowhere to wait if they're full when you arrive.
