There are many options for storage these days and I have had the opportunity to try many of them from coast to coast. For my business and personal needs, this facility is hands down the best. What truly makes this company work is the people they have running the locations. The management at the Plymouth location takes customer care and service seriously and does a fantastic job!! Hats off to Hunter and the staff at Extra Space Storage!

If you love unjustified price inflation i highly recommend these guys. Literally doubled my units monthly rental price.....just because of demand. Funny, ive never seen it go down based on lack of demand. They dont offer any thing extra. No hot towel and champagne when you enter now. No massage or kick backs. Same service but for more. What a scam.It doesnt matter that ive been there for over 2 years. Doesnt matter that i pay my bill on time. The good thing is there are many storage places that are less money with in 5 blocks.

Love this place! Echo what all other positive reviews have mentioned so no need to add to that. Found the setup and registration process to be very well handled from the locker reservation to the final account setup. Special kudos to Shawn who did a great job providing a comprehensive review of available units and overall facility management. I am especially appreciative of the locker access. Sunday access had been an issue at the prior facility I was at but with Extra Space, not an issue. Office is closed by facility is accessible. Love it!

Hunter made it so easy for us as we were moving out of two units. He was friendly and professional, and told us exactly what we needed to take care of things. His response was prompt, and we got the follow-up emails right away. A great experience storing stuff here for two years!

BEWARE! BEWARE!My unit had many items stolen with no payment from their insurance co.these items were stolen by the adjoining unit pulling items through the opening each unit has at the ceiling.BECAUSE THE LOCK WAS NOT BROKEN THE INSURACE COMPANY WOULD NOT COVER THIS.

Exceptional customer service. Ive never rented a storage unit before, but this was easy and Extra Storage is very customer service oriented. When I call, I get a real person! I registered online and everything was so easy. Now, after a few months, we are ready to move out and the process is equally easy and the staff very helpful. Definitely would recommend!!

First time ever using any public storage & I went to the Empire Lane location in Plymouth based on good reviews. The employee who helped me was excellent...showing me the reserved unit to see if it was satisfactory, explaining other options& reviewing contract terms with me. The facility was clean and hours for accessing suited my requirements. Hopeful the first impression will last throughout the term of my rental.

I think my son got a hold of my phone. Lol... I want to say Mikael has one of the greatest customer service and Extra self storage in Plymouth is my only place I would store my stuff. Have had a few life transitions and they always accommodate our needs. Keep up the friendly staff and cleanliness. Best wishes and happy holidays.

Clean place, carts always available, covered place to pull in to load and unload. I wasn’t offered the first month free as they began advertising the month after I signed up. Raised the rate within a few months. Leaving was easy enough, received email same day as I left confirming end of contract.

We could not have had a better experience with Extra Space Storage at a more challenging time! We had movers that didnt show up and had to frantically find a storage space and truck in order to close on our home in time. I was able to speak with an operator after hours who connected me with the location near us. Shawn was absolutely fantastic in quickly helping me secure a space and ensuring we got the best rate. The entire process was so easy - signing documents online, text communication regarding charges and easy access to our space. We felt so good about having our belongings temporarily stored.

I spoke with Deb today and she was so helpful! She helped alleviate a worry I had about moving. I did a lot of research on storage units. Extra Space Storage was the only site that was interactive so youcould see what fits in the space. They also had YouTube videos to demonstrate what fits in a unit. This was SO helpful! Inside and Climate controlled as well, so I do not need to worry about my things getting dirty or ruined due to the elements. Highly recommend them!

The process of getting a storage unit was so easy! I reserved a unit online and then within 1 hour someone called me and made sure I got the right size and understood everything. I moved my stuff in on a Sunday when nobody was there. It’s a very secure building so I felt safe! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for storage.

This is a wonderful Facility but it makes it even more amazing because of Shawn. He is really Helpful and very Happy Personality, which really helps. Facility is super clean and very very bright due to white doors all around which in case of storage facility usage becomes helpful. Shawn will suggest you if you need any help. Love Love Love the pricing. Thank you Shawn for making this experience pleasant all around.

After deciding online which storage facility to choose in the Plymouth area, I reserved a unit here. I immediately had a follow-up call by Shawn, who was absolutely fantastic in making sure I had the right unit based on my needs. The process for signing paperwork was very easy (and I was able to complete using my smart phone), and Shawn took the time to clarify any remaining questions I had after giving me a tour of the facility. I would highly recommend this location. It has great a stafff, a top notch building and very reasonable pricing.

We were looking for a space to store some furniture while doing a big remodel by ourselves. We didnt know what our timeline would be and I wanted our things in an indoor protected and clean space. We found that with Easy Storage in Plymouth. Shawn was so helpful and pleasant to work with. He even helped us with a large awkward piece helping us getting it into the truck. I would without hesitation recommend this company to anyone looking for an affordable, very clean and secure option. Thanks Shawn for your delightful and welcoming self. Easy Storage is fortunate to have you as their employee.

Ive never rented a storage unit before - was a bit nervous and expecting the worst. After skimming the website, I met with Shawn, the store manager, for information and answers. He was GREAT! Sincere, thorough, patient, funny, trustworthy, and flexible in accommodating my needs. Because of that, my use of the facility has been a breeze. I have also recommended it to others. Thanks for restoring my faith in decent people and decent business practices.

My name is Jennifer, I came in earlier this week to rent a space for my storage needs and really liked the facility, climate controlled is what I needed. I met the store Manager, Shawn who was friendly and helpful with showing me around and getting me in the right space I needed. Was a fast experience and was met with nothing but hospitality, and was a clean and good shape space! Thank You.

Great, clean, well-kept space. Staff are always helpful and friendly and provide great customer service. As an example, Craig was helping me replace a light in my unit, noticed a separate issue, and went out of his way to fix it. There may be slightly cheaper options around, but none are so convenient, being right off the highway, and none I’ve checked out have such consistently helpful staff. Definitely worth it.

Craig was awesome. Very helpful and pleasant to work with. I was going to be there close to closing time, so he arranged to have me send my info to him in advance and he had everything ready when I got there. The rented unit was perfect for our needs.

We were helping my mom move into her storage at your Plymouth location. She told me how clean it was and how nice they treated her when she had questions. So very true.

Review №40

Felicia was awesome!I have had a unit for two years, it was only intended to be temporary, but I had a child and am working.I had been struggling with happiness with this storage, because my rent goes up another $30 every 4-6 months. And it was hard for me to afford my 10x15 unit that I used to pay under $100 for.(I got it on special online)I have an armoire, recliner, desk, dressers, sectional, coffee table, chair, clothes, and many boxes filled with family photos, precious jewelry, among antiques and collectibles that I just couldn’t afford to lose...in a 10x15 unit. But this unit became $210 a month..I just could not keep up with the increases.And couldn’t afford to move.So Felicia found an amazing deal for a 10x10 unit for half of what I was paying. And was super patient and attentive to all of my concerns while I was in there with my toddler trying to see what my options were to downsize.She was so awesome and this building in general is very clean. Just wish there was a dumpster for us renters. But then if that were the case, people like me who have to move quick and sort later, stay in units longer because we can’t dump what we don’t need.

Enjoy extra space store. Clean, safe, secure. Which is why I choice to renew my lease. I had a situation where within a weeks time there was a rate increase and I was originally told not to pay when I called in so following instructions called a few weeks later to pay which is when I discovered the increase. Needless to say I was not happy. I was able to get this resolved and locked in at my original quoted price with the help of Ladonna. She went to bat for me, was very polite and helpful. I was happy with her assistance and the outcome. I am happy to be staying for another year.Thank you

I have rented from Extra Space Storage in Plymouth MN for the past two years as I have gone thru a difficult time in my life. The staff at the facility were good but nothing like the support Felicia provided during the past weeks as I prepared to move my belongings out. Over two hectic days for her, she provided constant support, guidance and a strong comforting smile as she knew I was going through another life transition. I saw her doing that with others that were entering or moving in/out at the same time.Any company would be blessed to have Felicia as their employee/guider in whatever role in their company or in life she might choose to fill. I want my recommendation of Felicia to be at the level of 200% and more!

I wanted to share my great experience with one of your employees. Ladonna gave me great service from the moment I called to find out pricing for storage units. I was moved when she followed up with me to find out if everything had worked out with my registering. Ladonna always smiles and goes out of her way to greet me and find out how my day is. There should be more service oriented people like Ladonna.ThanksMary Machado

I love this place! Eric, the manager on site, is incredibly helpful, always kind, and in my experience always available. They are small business friendly in every possible way. I have had deliveries & pick ups made there and Eric has always been there to make sure the truck was able to get in or the pallet was able to get out properly. It is a really busy location, so sometimes that is a challenge, but I think it is busy because the service is always 5 stars. I would rather deal with busy than deal with crappy any day of the week. The facility is clean & well maintained. No complaints.

The store manager, Felicia, called me this morning to follow up on an online reservation I placed yesterday. I am the assistant manager at the caribou coffee right up the road and was working at the time. She was super understanding and I told her I would be stopping by later this afternoon. When I came in the door, she knew me by name, and was ready to help me! She was telling me how busy of a day it had been but she still gave me her full attention and I ended up renting a unit! It is clean and friendly here! Thanks so much for all your help!

I have recently moved to the cities and needed storage as I am temporarily downsizing from a 3 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom apartment. The website was informative, the manager was helpful and friendly, and moving everything was easy as there is covered parking (it was pouring), push carts, and an elevator. I am a teacher and my unit is large enough that I can get to my classroom supplies fairly easily which is important! Quite happy so far.

Since Extra Space took over our storage locker facility, they have made many upgrades. Recently, LaDonna has come on board as Assistant Manager. She has gone above and beyond to serve us as customers, including opening the doors during inclement weather to allow us to drive in without having to exit the car and use the key pad to open the doors. She recently assisted us in a very professional manner when it became necessary for us to move to a different locker. Well done! We highly recommend the Plymouth, MN, Extra Space Storage facility.

I was being price gauged and overpaying for our unit. I was paying 95 dollars for a unit that should have been 38 dollars.When I went to move my stuff out and complain about the cost, Felicia Christy, the manager, told me that I wouldn’t be given a refund. In addition, they are keeping 15 days of rent for this month.I asked to speak to the district manager and Felicia gave me an email address that just goes back to the store. Meaning, the complaint would never make it to the district manager.This place is a rip off. Avoid like the plague. This is a greedy, unethical company.I’ll be contacting the Minnesota Division of Consumer Protection. If I’m not given a refund, I’m going to take the company to small claims court.
