This place gets one star because our things were not damaged while we rented a unit there. We signed up w/ U-Store for a 10x25 storage unit in early October 2016. The cost of this unit was 185.00 mo. for an air-circulating (not heat) unit for our household items. I've never paid so much for a large storage unit like this in my life. Not two months later we received a notice (to all tenants) warning unit owners of "new policy on late payments" which are horrifying (so many days late and your unit gets locked up and your items can be sold off profiting the storage facility owner!) and very unfair. We only just moved in and we're not late nor have we been late due to neglect to mail payment on time.
Six months later we get a "Rate Change Notice" that "After a careful market analysis & increased market demand" the storage facility owner chooses to RAISE unit rate fees. Ours went up 10.00 to 195.00 mo. effective June 1, 2017. Careful market analysis translates to us into "because we can...we're going to gauge you w/ a price increase". We decided to find another storage facility with owners who didn't rip off their customers.
On June 28th we moved our items to another storage facility charging us 65.00 less for essentially the same size unit. On the day of moving we saw two other people moving their items out of storage as well. I asked them if they were moving out of town and they told us that they were moving out of the storage facility because they had received 3 RATE HIKES in 2016 and were tired of being financially abused.
I would never treat customers as badly as Mr. Fillmer has treated his customers. I hope people will find this review helpful in their search for quality management and service of a storage facility operation. read more
