I’ve had such a positive experience at Metro Mini Storage downtown! The facility is exceptionally clean, well-lit, and always smells fresh — a rare find when it comes to storage units. From the moment I arrived, I felt safe and secure thanks to the gated entry and modern security features that give me real peace of mind, especially as a woman accessing my unit alone.
The overall experience has been top-notch and modern — from the smooth check-in process to the climate-controlled units that keep my belongings in pristine condition. You can tell this facility was designed with care and attention to detail.
A special shoutout to Jim and the entire management team — they’re consistently helpful, friendly, and professional. Jim in particular always goes above and beyond to make sure I have everything I need.
If you’re looking for a high-quality storage experience in a clean, safe, and professionally managed environment, this is it. Highly recommend!
My experience with Metro Mini has been top notch. The customer service and customer care is exemplary. The facility is one of the cleanest that I have ever used in at least 10 years. I would highly recommend this location to anyone. Thanks for great service as we know the human experience vs. AI is priceless!
I love this place. Boomer is amazing and such a pleasure to work with. He is very thorough and insightful. Moving my belongings into the storage happened to be at a really hard time in my life but he made me feel lighter and secure. The building is veryyyyyy clean and does not reek of mold. I know that my belongings are safe.
I had a great experience with this storage facility. The property is clean, secure, and well maintained the best storage facility I have ever seen. Boomer, the manager, was professional, helpful, and easy to work with he’s good at reminding you about your payments which is a plus for me, He made the process smooth and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend this facility.
We’ve been renting multiple storage units here for a while, and Boomer has been absolutely fantastic to work with. He’s always professional, helpful, and quick to assist with anything we need. Whether it’s helping us find the right unit size and answering questions. Boomer consistently goes above and beyond.
