Been storing here for years. I’m pretty absentminded so I end up late on my bill sometimes, but they can always get me squared away pretty quick and smooth. The one guy who works several locations is particularly helpful, unfortunately I forgot his name. Maybe I can edit it in later.

great experience here. no issues with my unit. my only real complaint is that you can't get in after 9:00pm. (unless you're lucky enough to sneak in behind someone who is grandfathered in with 24 hour access) pricing was competitive when I signed up, and I think I only had one rate hike over the year+ that I was there.

I had an outstanding experience with both the manager of the Lake Bluff facility and Joe who finalized my rental agreement.

Needed short term storage and chose Metro in Palatine. From start to finish it was a fantastic experience. Beginning with Dusty in the office being friendly, informative, helpful in choosing a unit, holding the one I wanted for a few days and always available to answer questions through to moving out a few months later. The facility is clean, easy to get in and out, well lit and hours are convenient. And if you leave a message - they actually call you back! I forget his coworkers name, but she was wonderful as well. I’d use Metro Storage again without question.
