This was the first good experience I’ve had dealing with storage companies! Steve called me almost immediately after I sent an inquiry and gave great information about their units. The check-in/rental process was super easy and quick too!

My wife and I have rented from Steve and Ames West Side Storage beginning in the summer of 2021. The storage facility is clean, well-kept and the customer service is exceptional. Steve (the owner) truly goes out of his way for his renters. It's also very reasonably priced. I couldn't recommend this facility more.

I had the privilege of meeting the owner Steve. Who met with my brother and I not even 20 minutes after my first call with him to look at storage units. He gave a detailed and thorough explanation about the units, how to get in and how to use the system. I feel really comfortable renting from Steve and I look forward to working with him in the future - Stivers Kids
