Devon Self Storage - Canal St

Chicago IL 606161.3 miles away

4.5 out of 5 - Based on 3 reviews

Starting at $49.00

Anthony was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We were looking for a 5 x 10. He showed us a couple of units slightly larger than we were looking for, I think to "up sell" us, but I was not offended as that is probably his job. He did ask what we were storing and agreed that a 5 x 10 would work for us. We did look at the exact unit we were to rent and signed the paperwork. I recommend having your home owner's insurance handy so you don't have to pay for insurance there. Do a double check on their math as they seemed to have a new computer program they were working with. We had a 5 x 10 that we paid $52 a month for and a $25 admin fee. Check on their specials we had a choice of first month free or 50% off of the next 3 months. The facility was very clean.Full Review

The Lock Up Self Storage - Kinzie

Chicago IL 606540.8 miles away

3 out of 5 - Based on 1 review

Starting at $78.00

I was terribly mislead. The information I was given over the phone was not honored once I arrived at the facility. Apparently the storage center uses an offsite service to book its customers and they misrepresent the storage facility. The hours posted online was not the hours posted at the facility. I was charged more than the unit was advertised for and I was very unhappy about it. I went there for a $59 advertised special and ended up paying about $117?. Since I was in dire straits and had packed up all my things, paid a driver and traveled the 25 miles to the facility, I had no choice but to go ahead with the transaction. However, the front desk agent was very nice...Full Review

My work schedule and personal life are constantly fluctuating. So I need to be able to get in/out of the unit at different times and days of the week. And that flexibility is a huge a help for me. Also when ever there are issues with paperwork all I have to do is call or email Rick he contacts corporate and takes care of it. The security is topnotch and the distance is another factor for me. I like knowing that my things are safe and secure here.Full Review
