The manager who signed me up was great, however, the indoor loading/unloading area has one…read moresignificant problem. The parking space lines are painted the wrong direction, and the majority of clients are too stupid to ignore them and park the way they should. The overhead entrance door is on the northwest corner and it should be a quick left into the parking space. However, the lines are painted as if you're entering from the exit door on the southwest, and it takes several back and forths to get into a parking spot. Often, people can't make it, and take up more than one space. Also, any vehicle longer than a midsize SUV is too long for the parking spaces and partially blocks the drive through lane. Until these issues get fixed, this "indoor loading area" is a real PITA. There's another problem with the "indoor" loading/unloading area. Whenever a box truck or truck with a trailer parks just in the exit door, with the ramp down, it totally blocks exiting and makes the backward angle of the parking spaces doubly difficult to navigate. Everyone has to try to back out through the entrance. This is an extremely frustrating issue.

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.

It was 24 hour access which is the main reason I got a unit there, since I work until midnight and drop off supplies after work. But this new manager decided to get rid of 24 hour access for no good reason. I pay almost 500 a month,for 2 large units, I should be able to access my storage whenever I want, I don't cause any issues and keep to myself. Also there is trash allover the property, half open units with junk falling out, the entrance gate doesn't work half the time. Or gets stuck open. And good luck getting ahold of anyone when you call. They will call you back with an attitude. All in all it WAS a good storage facility. No longer the case.
