Sadly, it includes half the space, twice the price, and nothing like the service from MPLS Storage. But it's walking distance and that had to be the deciding factor.

Jarrett Buxell is a man you want to do business with. I spoke with him for quite a while about my…read morerecent storage troubles (see my negative reviews for Extra Space Storage) and what I was looking for, and he provided a better solution in the next ten minutes than what I got in multiple days of dealing with ESS. He built the storage units at MPLS Storage himself (it's family-owned and operated). He showed me the 12ft walls, and how they can't be scaled by anything short of a full-sized ladder (ESS has 8-foot walls that can be cleared with a lawn chair). Tenants are admitted to their units by appointment only, which means no strangers following another customer through an unlocked door like at ESS. Most importantly, he listened. He heard my concerns and addressed them immediately. He's a human being who wants to help others store their belongings safely and securely, and he's the opposite of the experience I had at ESS. If you need to store stuff and don't mind making appointments, store your stuff at MPLS. You won't regret it.

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.

Beware of repeated rate increases every 3-4 months!…read more We've rented a unit here for ~15 months. Our rate has increased multiple times, most recently from $309 to $388/month (25% proposed increase despite their assurances at the time of renting that this would not happen). The pattern has been consistent--rates increase roughly every 3 months without factual rationale for an increase and limited willingness or ability negotiate. While staff have answered the phone when contacted, they do not exhibit ability to respond and negotiate reasonably, which is extremely frustrating and time-consuming. This business model likely only works for short-term renters. However, it makes makes long-term storage extremely expensive and unpredictable. Recommend to either go elsewhere after doing homework, or asking very specific questions about rate increases before signing.

Corporate Customer Service Nightmare!…read more I rented a storage space for around 3 years after a move. Access to the facility was limited; unlike other facilities, there was no access after 5 or 5:30pm, maybe an hour later on weekends. This is pretty frustrating for anyone with a regular full-time job And a family. Beware, when signing a contract, they will try to get you to pay for a $20 padlock, as well as for insurance. If you have homeowners or renters insurance, you should be covered- call your agent. As stated in the contract, Public Storage can raise the Rent of your storage space anytime, and they will. Once you are counting on that service, they will take advantage. If you downsize to another unit in the same facility, you will have to sign another contract, again with the same shady practice. I ended up paying insurance that I didn't need for 2 years. When I cleared out of the space on the 2nd of the month, I was charged for renting for the entire month. If someone rented the same space on the 3rd, they would have to pay a prorated amount For the rest of the month. Incredible that the amount of overpaid insurance was almost exactly what they expected me to pay for the whole month at the new, higher rate! I proposed that we just call it even, since I had received no benefit from the service( their insurance ) I'd been charged for. I talked to the property manager, who stonewalled, then gave me the customer service number. When I talked to someone in customer service, they wouldn't give me the regional managers full name, only Ben. However, I had already gotten a payment reminder email addressed to "Dear Valued Customer "from a BenJamin Seghers. After speaking with Mr. Segher, I thought we had some understanding when he ended the call saying he would see what he could do. However, the next communication I received regarding the matter was a letter from a 3rd party collections agent, Allied Interstate. I spoke to an Allied Interstate agent, making them aware that the bill was in dispute, and they gave me the number of Kathleen, in Public Storage's Corporate Office. When I finally talked to Kathleen, she said that the regional manager, Ben Seghers was the only one who could resolve the issue; she said the best she could do was cut the bill in half, but I would have to pay Allied Interstate, or a PS office manager on site, and then report back to her. I told her I had no confidence in Mr. Seghers ability to make an ethical decision, and that I wanted to resolve this and put it behind me. I called PS Corporate Office again to find a facility with an on-site manager ( site of my storage unit required an appointment ) I went to the facility closest to my work, that PS Corporate Office said had an office manager, but no one was there. I called Allied Interstate to try to pay, but my account had not reflected the change Kathleen said she would make, neither did my account on the PS website. I am now awaiting my call to Kathleen to be returned. Last time it took over a week; I guess I'll also try Mr. Seghers again...
