Great storage and staff! Joe and Carlton are always so professional and helpful! They have a great understanding of the facility and have helped me figure out the type of unit I need, size, and location. They have gone out of their way to check on the unit for myself when I could not come by to check if we locked it. It makes a huge difference in the stress of moving and storing - by having such professional and helpful staff! Also this facility is in a great location, stays clean, and has wide halls and other features to help you get to your unit with bulky items!

This is my first experience renting a storage unit. I chose istorage primarily bc it is a climate controlled facility. After meeting Carlton and Joe I knew it was the place. Both fellas were super nice and very helpful. The facility, itself, is very clean. They have carts and ramps to load units on the second floor. I love the fact that you can pull into the building to load/unload and exit much like a drive thru, except secured by coded locks. The overall process was easy, except for physically loading/unloading my "stuff". That is always work! Lol! I would definitely recommend IStorage to my friends and family.

I seriously can’t believe my unit is only $21 a month. The facility is very clean and nice and my 5x10 is very accessible and in terrific condition. Highly highly recommend. I previously was using a different facility down the road that was only slightly bigger and over 5x the cost AND not climate controlled.

I’ve rented a space here for a few years. The new managers — Joe and Carlton— have made all the difference! They have been so kind and helpful and are truly professionals who understand customer service! Before, you literally couldn’t reach anyone on site, and there was no one in the office. It was the worst before they turned it around!! Thank you so much guys, and keep up the great work!

This place was terrible... trash everywhere, drive-thru overhead doors broken,security gate stuck open, and there was never anyone in the office. But since Joe started a few months ago, and with the addition of Carlton, this place has completely turned around. The doors now work. The gates work. The place is generally much better. Even the bathroom is clean. This new management team seems to really care. I would definitely recommend this facility.

This is a very cool spot. Everybody is very nice and laid back. I can’t believe I’m saying this but this storage space has loads of charm- from the constant sound of dogs in the adjoining doggy spa to the weird old cars sitting outside. Half the place is built on a labyrinth of plywood and the other half looks like a haunted office complex. I’ve used a lot of storage spaces before, and this is by far the coolest. Do keep in mind: access is limited to the hours of 6am-10pm. I’m supposed to vacate in 3 days and I’m pretty bummed!

Everything was excellent from the online registration to moving in. Allen the office manager was very helpful and informative. The place is clean and very secure. Really impressed with this storage company. It's a gem of a location. I highly recommend.

Jan 14, 2022

Great rental experience so far! Allen knows his property inside and out. He made it convenient for me to take care of setting up the rental and making the initial payment over the phone, sign paperwork online, gave me a property tour the following day, and was happy to have me stop in for the tour "whenever it worked best" for me during the afternoon. The unit I have is clean and easily accessible via the building ramp system (no stairs!), as long as I don't overload the cart. The process of going up the ramp with an overloaded & too heavy cart is not fun when the person pushing the cart is 5-foot-nothing & weighs about half of what got loaded onto the cart! Oops...I won't do that again. Advice to all: Put about half of what you think you can push up the ramp on your cart for the first trip up. Trust me, about halfway up is a bad time to decide you out too much on there 🤔 The only things that I wish iStorage offered are 24 hour unit access and light fixtures inside all units (or a power receptacle to bring our own light to plug in) but I guess I can't have everything I want and at least I have a very bright rechargeable lantern. I'm a night-time person who works ever-changing retail hours, so I find myself thinking of things I need out of storage at 2am semi-frequently, so the 24 hour access would be great for me. Ultimately, I am impressed so far with the drive-in side facility, the unit, the reasonable pricing, cleanliness of the building, and management's professionalism. Hopefully, the trend of almost perfect will continue! Thanks to Allen & iStorage for making it easy to store my things!

Great place for storage. They offer many unit sizes, and the options are perfect for whatever needs to be stored - BONUS: some units are longer than they are deep, so you can actually see what is in your unit after you get your things moved in. Another of the many great things here: There are no stairs in the facility...there are also no elevators. Instead, there are wide ramps from level to level. They also provide flat carts (like home improvement stores have in the building materials and lawn/garden areas) to get your stuff up a level or two, as needed. Also - this is a big thing! - imagine this...You need to put those pictures of grandma that your cousin wanted to see back into your storage unit now that cousin has gone back home after visiting. You've been putting off the task for long enough so you decided today is the day!. But it's raining on the one day that you have time to deal with re-filing the photos...BUT RAIN IS NOT AN ISSUE HERE. Why? Because you have a code that opens the big roll-up door on the end of the building! So, instead of getting grandma's photos wet in the seemingly endless downpour outside while dashing from car to door like you would at those other storage rental places, you just drive your car right inside the building, park along either side of the driving lane, and head to your unit! The only downside I have found is that I don't have 24 hour access. I suggested to the property manager that a "VIP Access Club" that would give members 24 hour access to their unit could be created. The perk to the property/company is that it would generate additional revenue through the Club membership cost, a small monthly fee. the member perk is having 24/7 access. With the units all inside the building, security codes required for building entry, and the existing 24 hour camera surveillance of the property inside and out, there seems very little reason to not offer 24 hour access to renters who want such access. Other than that, I love this place so far: reasonable monthly rates, a clean facility, clean restrooms, and a property manager who will do what he can to accommodate potential, new, and existing customers. Property Manager Allen was extremely helpful during the rental process, easy to talk to, very personable & friendly, and he never made me feel as if he had other things to do or that he would rather be elsewhere than giving me a facility tour after I rented my unit. I wish all property managers were as helpful as Allen! Overall, this iStorage location gets a grade of an A from me. I highly recommend this location. (The only thing that would being that up to an A+ is offering 24 hour access, with or without a fee.)

Go see Allen if you need a place to store your items! The Inverness location off of Hwy 280 is the best. I felt like my items were safe and secure. I love the fact that you could drive into the building, so moving in the elements was not an issue. I stored my items for 8 months and check out was a breeze. Just an overall great place!

Move in was easy, the ramps to the second floor were definitely a big help. It was raining on our moving day (naturally), so the ability to pull our truck into the building and unload under cover was GREAT! Only slight downside with the experience so far is the fact that the 10x20 unit I rented is not actually 10x20, it is fine for my needs since I oversized on the unit anyway. I think the square footage is the same, but just a heads up if you need an exact footprint.

Stored my RV there on HWY 280 in Birmingham for 16 months. Never had any issues at all. Pretty easy to park there. Hwy 280 traffic was never a problem once you figure out the best ways in and out of traffic flows. The location was convenient and not too far from I-459. Automatic payment drafts also worked well. Never a problem. Recommend people give them a try, especially if you need an indoor storage facility. You can actually drive into the building to load and unload. The place is huge!

First, I want to say the people working at iStorage who helped me get a solid highest grade, both were knowledgeable, polite, fun and efficient. The facility as a whole gets better than 4 stars. My issue is that I rented a small space advertised as 6 feet by 2.5 feet. The space is smaller in both dimensions than advertised. My items would not fit due to the smaller than advertised size. I had to stack my heavy smoker on top of other items. A few inches cheated on a larger space might not be a big deal, but it’s a big deal for me when I think I’m getting 72” by 30” and actually it’s 65” by 26”.

Darius Hill was excellent when assisting me to reserve and purchase storage for my husband's food truck. It was a Saturday and we weren't going to make it to the location before closing time, but Darius provided multiple options and stayed late so my husband would be able to gain access to the storage once his event was over. I was in another state at the time and my husband was working his event. So, without Darius's patience and extra time, I was able to provide what was needed electronically and he got the reservation completed. Thanks Darius, you were a Godsend and you are a huge asset to iStorage. Now whenever I hear someone say that they are looking for storage, I will immediately think of and recommend them to Darius and iStorage. He should be promoted or given a raise immediately. Thanks again. Stanley and Pamela Hill

Scharlotte and Darius have been great! At first, there was no unit to meet my needs. They have been patient as I’ve checked back a few times. When a unit opened up, they called me and I leased the next day. They are friendly and laid back; you will enjoy working with them.

I have been a tenant at Simply Storage since they took over from the previous ownership. I travel a couple of states for my job and without the help of Darius and Scharlotte I would be lost. They are extremely courteous and accommodating. The business is always spotless and they continuously look for ways to improve it. They are fantastic! Highly recommend.

Scharlotte was MORE than helpful today. She was so personable and walked me through the whole process of seeing the unit, then the paperwork to rent. She took the time to go over any questions I had and I really appreciated that. I had a storage unit at another storage company and NO ONE was as nice or helpful as Scharlotte. Also, the space was very clean!

Schalotte could not have been more pleasant or professional as I checked into to rent a storage unit. She personally walked me to the unit to verify it was satisfactory, discussed all aspects of the rental contract, showed me how to open the garage doors at both ends of the tunnel, and opened the entry garage door from the office the first time I attempted to enter the tunnel so that I wouldn’t need to stay away from the 20 ft U-Haul truck any longer than necessary. A perfect employee from this customer’s perspective.

I was in a bind, moving from Atlanta to Birmingham and needed a storage unit to move into within 24 hours. The ease in which they got me into a unit was incredible and at a great price! The staff is incredibly helpful and was even willing to stay after hours for me to arrive from Atlanta with all my belongings and get me checked in. Very thankful for them and definitely recommend them.

Relocating and needed a storage unit. I went to Simply Self Storage and was impressed with the time Darius took to show me the physical size of the units and tour of the facility. I ultimately went with a 10x10 climate controlled unit, and the drive in feature of the facility is a nice bonus. The only negatives here are that some halls have 36 inch doorways, which could make moving large items in and out more difficult. Also, they do not yet have elevators, so ramps are used to move supplies to the 2nd floor units. Elevators are supposed to be installed in the next couple months according to Darius at SSS.

Nate, the manager, was wonderful to work with. My move from out of state to Birmingham was made as stress free as possible, thanks to Nate. When I rented to small of a unit (prior to our move) Nate generously worked with my husband and I to transfer into a larger unit. This happened to be after hours on a weekend! Not many people go above and beyond like Nate!

After selling my home I needed a clean, secure, climate controlled temporary home for everything I owned and worked so hard for. I needed someone I could trust. Some people may think there is not a lot to consider when renting a storage unit. You pay your rent, visit your storage unit when you need to get something or put something in, and that's all there is to it. I disagree. Nate, the property manager treated me like family from the time I walked into the office. After all, I am basically moving into his house. Although I did not see Nate for five weeks while he protected all of my belongings, when I walked into the main entrance, an hour before they opened, he was already there and greeted me by name with a smile. Moving is stressful. Do yourself a favor and let Nate take care of you and your belongings until you can take your belongings back home with you.

Quality of Facility + Service Deteriorated

I used to like this place. It used to be clean. Drive in parking a great idea but exit door always broken. Security isn't great. Red entry door pin pad never functional. Anyone can gain access to the place. No one is ever on-site on office hours. It used to have welcoming management. Not anymore.

Horrible personal communication

Impossible to get in touch with property manager. I’ve called for over a month with no return call. I now have a notice there is a lien on my unit. Why!!! Because their new billing system, didn’t convert my auto pay. It also doesn’t recognize my email but yet it won’t let me set up a account because my email is already in the system. It would be nice for the manager to answer the phone! This property is NOT that busy for someone to never answer the phone!
