    Imagine paying $220 for a storage unit and one day paying a moving truck $170 to bring a fridge in just to find out that you can't access the storage because their general access pad is broken! No notice absolutely nothing!! The access pad broke and they just put a Slappy notice on the door so it's saying it's broken have a good life They happily charge every month, if you are late with yoir payment for three days or if they don't know how to properly charge your credit card they would happily charge you $50 late fee however they quickly made their problem your problem instead of hiring someone to stay there for all the hours of access until the access pad is fixed they decided to just ignore the problem altogether when I did call in the morning the guy said ma'am I just got here, everybody's complaining- we don't have a solution nothing can be done Basically STAY FAR AWAY Can't wait to move out

    It's never fun to have to leave a 1 star review, but we simply cannot recommend Foster Ravenswood…read moreSelf Storage. One, they don't have a secure way to take Credit Card information. 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?

    Picked this location and business based on all the positive reviews. After going in vetting to…read moredifferent places ultimately I picked this business. 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.

    So far so good! I am…read morein the process of preparing for a move, which means doing a lot of clutter control to do. Part of that is renting a storage space for some of that stuff. I toured a unit a couple weeks ago with Paul and I appreciated the time to get to take a look. They seem to have various promotions going at any time so when I finally signed up this weekend, I will get a month free (except for some one-time fees) and there's also a lower rate on the unit for a few months (hopefully). I'm hoping we'll need the unit for fewer than six months so it is a good deal for us. The place boasts climate control, which I hope is true. I'm still a bit nervous about it to be honest so I may not put some of board game collection in there, and some of the photos I put in will be packed in some plastic tubs I have. I rented a 10x5 unit, and took a couple of loads of stuff over yesterday morning. For my purposes, the unit size should provide ample space--I'd rather it be too large than have to cram things in! If you're thinking, "Aesha, I would get lost in there and some poor unsuspecting person would come upon my incoherent, feral self after minutes of hopeless wandering," let me tell you that I thought that too. Luckily, they anticipated that endless hallways of doors that look identical could cause some confusion, so they have little signs in various places that direct you to the elevator, office, etc. The manager (Brian, I think) signed me up and took me on another tour to show me how to use the lock and introduce me to the facility. There are several parking spaces around but there's also a drive-in garage. The garage and the elevators are controlled by your unique access code to make sure only authorized folks are in the place. Access is available 6am-10pm daily using your code, and the office is closed Sunday, and light sensors will turn lights on in areas as people enter them. I confirmed that there's not a problem with movers coming to empty a unit--though hopefully the door will stay open for them given the size of their trucks. I guess that's a problem for another day.

    A second lock was added to my unit even though payments are up to date (as confirmed by their…read moreonline system and my bank) they are completely unreachable via phone or email. They will overcharge for a unit that is literally hazardous to gain access to (a unit that requires a step ladder carefully balanced on a ramp) and increase rent multiple times after hooking you with an introductory rate.
