I honestly never saw more than 2 other cars there loading things, which made sharing space for loading and carts very easy. Unfortunately, I did have a leak in my unit from the HVAC system but Jonathon on site was great and helpful. Would recommend using the insurance company through the Extra Space as it has made the reimbursement for damage process seamless and easy. Unfortunate to have things damaged but this is best case scenario. Would recommend this storage unit and would use myself again.

The web prices state that my 10x9 unit is going at a rate of $70, but I'm paying $121. The original price I was paying was $66 per month. Kind of an unethical way of doing business. I understand a small price hike, but bumping it up 83% is wild.

(This was done to an entire group of storage areas.) This meant moving some of my stored and neatly arranged items out of the storage area while they were working and then moving them back into the storage area wherever they fit as some of the space was taken up by the new door. I was only called after it was all done to get a key for another lock. I questioned whether there could have been theft or items broken during this remodel. The owner didn't care. I asked why I wasn't notified about what they were going to do. He said they had the right to do the remodel without my knowledge. Another time they didn't have a digital copy of my rent agreement so they locked me out of my storage area until they got a digital agreement signed from me, even though I was paid up and had the hard copy I originally signed. I also second all reviews about frequent and 10% + rent increases. Oh and don't forget to give them a timely copy of your rental insurance agreement each year as they will slap a fee on for insurance without any second warning. This is not a criticism of the staff which I didn't have any problems with. In summary, you and your possessions are beholden to storage areas, who can raise rents and do whatever they want. They more or less hold your precious possessions for ransom.

Simply Self Storage had great pricing online and was giving a 'first month free' discount. We ended up renting a 10x10 space for about 5 months and were very pleased. Access was easy, but secure. No, there isn't 24x7 gate access, but I didn't have a reason ever to be there between 10p and 6a. I never felt that I or my belongings were unsafe. It is busier here on weekends, but if you come earlier or later in the day, there usually isn't much congestion. They do have some carts onsite, so you don't necessarily have to bring your own. If you need service, you can always stop by during the office hours and someone was available to help. If I have a need to rent storage in the east metro in the future, I would certainly rent here again!

They have a temperature controlled indoor storage and some outdoor storage. It is new and very clean! They even have dolley push carts for you to use. We had a bad experience with public storage where our stuff got water damage this past winter due to the snow. The unfortunate thing is the water damage did not come from the roof but from the street because of all the snow that piled up. It leaked into our storage and our furniture was destroyed. So we decided to find a new storage and we're so thankful we found simply storage. This place offers insurance and the staff is friendly and helpful. Don't go anywhere else!

I recently vacated my storage unit and reunited all my "treasures." North Star served me well for…read morefour years. There is great security here and I never felt like my possessions were in danger of being damaged by weather or being taken by thieves. Not only do you need a code (that you set yourself) to get in the gate, you also need a different one to get in the building itself where I had my things stored. The customer service here is outstanding and very professional. I never had any issues with trying to get in touch with someone on the rare occasion that I needed to. The storage areas are clean and very well lit and maintained, and it's one of the more reasonably priced facilities that I was able to find. Would highly recommend these folks if you are in need!

What a fantastic storage facility! I had a large unit there for about two and a half years. During…read morethat whole time, they never raised my rent! Due to the top-notch security system, I never had any problems getting access to my unit. No one ever broke into it either. The system is set up where you have to input a unique personal code to even enter the property. Nice little protective measure, right there at the street. Then you drive to your unit, which can be either indoors or outdoors. Mine was inside, because I wanted a warmer, drive-up space for all my stuff. Having the car parked inside--right next to the unit--is very convenient. There are other features that keep everything secure. For example, the doors to the building housing the indoor units will not open unless a valid personal code has been input at the entrance gate. Also, the unique personal codes are linked to specific storage units. So you have to unlock and enter your unit, or else the system will alert an on-site employee. Translation: anyone who is not authorized to enter the property will be unable to gain access to any storage units. Even the people who have legitimate units can only enter their own particular storage spaces. Speaking of security, there are surveillance cameras around the property and inside the buildings. A little redundancy there, but additional layers of security and protection are always reassuring. And you can use your own lock, whatever you prefer. One unusual feature is that the buildings are tucked into a carved-out area of a hillside. That shields everything from the prevailing weather patterns coming out of the north, northwest and west. This makes for warmer conditions. Even during winter visits to my storage units, the 'icebergs' in the wheel wells of my car would start melting and fall off. This facility is situated right on the edge of a large commercial area that contains just about every type of store or restaurant you might need to visit. Closeness to Costco (~ 1 mile away) was helpful to me, because I was able to purchase some inexpensive shelving that helped me get my unit better organized. There's also a Salvation Army Thrift Store nearby. They accepted all my donations of furniture and other salable items when the time came to let go of certain possessions (yes it happens!) and get myself moved out of state on short notice. Finally, the people who work for North Star are very professional, honest and downright helpful. My thanks to you two--Alec and Albert--for the positive difference that you made in my life!

Burnsville location. They raised their prices right after they took ownership. We had a small unit…read more5 x 15, and they raised the price 75%, from $60 to $105. I'm not the only person they did the same increase to. We have several other units and between them, they were raised $175. a month. So with this unit added on, the amount raised totals $220 each month. We don't have extra money on a fixed income, Social Security. We haven't met the new crew yet, but we were always treated good and with respect from the old crew, especially the hired help Lisa more than the managers. We saw her more often, and she is an asset to the company. The previous manager Mike wanted to keep us as clients so they didn't apply as steep a raise when prices went up. The new owners raised everything all at once, taking money from food and needed prescriptions. I guess they don't want to keep the older dependable clients who have been there for years. There is always the fear of being told to leave because we complained about the price increases

But this place is GREAT! Very clean, fairly new, temperature-controlled, safe & secure, two large entrances & several large & well-lit walkways making it easy to access each unit (there's even a place to drive your car inside, which is a nice feature in bad or cold weather), dry & weather-proof (no worrying about the floors getting wet from slush or snow, even with the drive-up area), reasonably priced, very nice staff. Kevin is very helpful. Also, I'm a MAJOR bug-aphobe, and finding a storage place that didn't have creepy crawlies was important to me (especially when we were planning to store a couch and several boxes of clothes that didn't have the best lids). In the 3 months we've used Scott Co Mini Storage, we've only seen one dead bug, and I can't even be sure we didn't bring it with us on the U-haul. Highly recommend this place for your storage needs!

This was only used as a sales tactic to get us to move into the unit. I signed the agreement on May 17th and by June 2, 2025 before I had even moved my belongings in the owner was telling me that my rent was going to increase by 100% so double the rent. I was then told that I'm getting a good deal and I can't find that anywhere else. Because I save every interaction I was able to show them the texts I received that contradicted this. Today October 27th 2025 I received a letter stating they are working towards no increase for 12 months and my rent is increasing by 100%. Double the rent again. While the facility is new, the bathrooms are almost always clean and it is climate controlled. There's no way to justify this kind of an increase and this often. What's more concerning is how many times they've tried to go back on their word despite being in writing in less than 6 months. For the people who don't have time and energy into making sure that this place holds true to their word on what they sell you to sign they should steer clear. We invested a lot of money into moving our belongings to this unit and have been sold on something that I've had to fight the entire duration.
