I rented a 10 x 10 foot unit and when I stored an 8 foot long shelf in the unit, it "just" fit. Odd....so I measured it and sure enough it was only 8' 3" deep! So they are advertising the room sizes as 10x10 when in fact, they are not, which is nearly a 20% difference in size. I chose this place because it was in fact a bit cheaper than the rest, well now we know why. When I asked about this at the front desk, the response was, "that is how the company measures the units." Huh? So they have a different idea of what 10x10 is? After a week of renting the unit, we moved out to a competitors unit which measured almost exactly 10x10. What annoys me more than anything, is I emailed them first to ask about this and NO ONE RESPONDED. Great customer service. I had to pay the "$35 admin fee" which from what i can gather, will not be returned. Beware. Measure the unit before you sign the contract.

If you are looking for storage in Burlington look elsewhere. I've had a storage locker here for about a year. They have increased their rates by 35% during this time. If you are 6 days late making a payment they charge a fee. Twice I've gone to pay an they were out for lunch, then charged me a late fee when I was back 2 days later. I was on time the first visits. They now allow you to pay online so no longer an issue. They have hundreds of lockers but only 4 loading bays. Several times a year there is at least 1 loading Bay door out of operation. There are no other options to get into the building and they seem to take weeks to get the doors replaced. These doors should be fixed same day or next day. Only 2 elevators and they are slow. Quite a few times I've gone to get things and eventually had to leave. I'm actively looking for another location, which will be a lot of work to move.

I rented a small storage unit at the Appleby Road Burlington location about six years ago for a few months, and had a good experience with it. Now that I'm in need of similar storage, I've gone back to the same location. I reserved a unit online, and Anant followed up with a phone call mentioning their seasonal price promotion. I've rented the unit, and the place is virtually the same as it was: clean, easily accessible and climate controlled at a moderate temperature appropriate for indoor storage. The only change is that the unit is no longer accessible 24 hours a day, but 6am until 10 p.m., though some other storage places lock their gate earlier. Easy enough rental process, lower than average pricing, and effective customer service; recommended. Cheers in '22!

  • aaron the contractor

They keep raising prices and raising prices so get ready for that. Of course new customers get to pay less than you. Bet they learn from Bell. Be prepared to bring a flash light cause the lights are on motion sensors so you will be left in the dark when looking through your unit. Or get in and out as soon as you can. Also their doors are out of service 99% of the year. I have gone there once and 3 out of the 4 doors were out of service. There was a line up to get in and out. There are times where the doors are broken and left completely wide open 24/7 so hopefully you don't have too many valuables in your units. Typical corporation run storage centre. Cut cut cut raise raise raise.

  • Brad Penwell

My experience at the actual location (Appleby Line, Burlington) was 5/5. However, when you are calling to inquire or rent a space understand that you are calling into the US and you may as well be speaking to a used car sales person (no disrespect to used car sales people). Fast talking and half the information. Be prepared for, 'do you have house insurance, if you do you're good'. However when you arrive, the follow up to that question is, your house insurance MUST state that 'SmartStop Storage' coverage. Otherwise is an additional fee per month. Again, at the location, 5 stars, very good, very helpful, very courteous, very clean. Booking via the phone 1/2 star.

  • Debbie Constantine

Just got yelled at by the staff member named Leeona because she showed up 3 hours late for work... I simply asked for access to my storage unit first because a driver that works for them had pulled up in front of the bay doors while I had moved over to the customer service doors to find out why the doors weren’t open(I am disabled and couldn’t walks back and forth). In anticipation of the snow storm they decided to open at 9:30 (Leeona showed up at 9:50) instead of their normal 6am open time. I have paid for 24 hour access. Have come 3 times and have not been able to access my locker due to bay door issues. I would not reccomend this storage facility to anyone.

  • CLo

My husband and I used this storage facility recently during a move. In the end we were owed a refund for moving out when we did. Almost two months later, we are still waiting for our refund and the people at this location have been an absolute nightmare. What is going on, to the extent that two months later we still have not received the refund we are owed? How do you explain or justify that? other than either complete incompetence, or they really have no intention of giving us our refund, and they're lying to us and stringing us along, hoping that we'll forget and drop it. I will never do business with this company again.

  • Rosa Lokaisingh

They sent me an email and phoned me 4 days before month end to confirm if I was still moving my storage items to verify whether I'm moving by end of month, so they won't charge me another month. When I went on Saturday to see the front desk person, after I cleared it all, she said my Account was already closed & taken care of online. They also emailed me. I found them all too be very courteous, friendly & professional at all times. Im very impressed with their care & quality service. Thanks very much to the entire team! Will definitely recommend to others. Rosa Lokaisingh

  • Brad Gould

Probably one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. They raise rates almost every 6 months and say the rate increases are based on occupancy levels. I had a storage unit for approximately 6 years with my monthly rate doubling. The final straw that made me move was when I realized was pay approximately $50.00 per month more then a new customer would pay! When I confronted the office staff, her answer was that’s how they make money. Wrong that’s how you lose customers. Got almost the same size unit at U-Haul for 1/2 the price.

  • Sri A

Storage is clean an fairly well organized although some signs to indicated different units would be useful. My storage lease was to end of 31st Dec but I called on 29th and told that I need to vacate by 30th or I will have to pay for 2 or 3 days more as they would be closed on Dec 31st and Jan 1st. Secondly, even with proof of insurance for contents in storage, they were trying to force me to buy insurance. Tip: Make sure you print out storage insurance which often comes with renters insurance.

  • Cari Bragg

Appleby Line - Burlington Store Yes, I have already reviewed this place and I am delighted to do it again! :)) JULIA, I cannot share this review fast enough! Your above and beyond KINDNESS and COMPASSION for customer service is exceptional and absolutely FIVE STARS. You are a special kind of leader and a hard one to find! SmartStop is very fortunate to have you on their frontline. Thank you for your act of kindness, I will not forget this moment!

  • Seth Rossman

Some.of the worst customer service I've ever experienced! I would NEVER recommend this location to anyone. You will have nothing but problems with these people. Came to pay my bill twice and twice now, they were "Out for Lunch", or "Gone to Bank." This place's business model is all about screwing customers with increased rates and garbage late fees. Read more Google reviews on these guys. Always the same story. Watch out!!!

  • Steve Gilbert

Just started a new rental and I am more then happy with everything. Place is very clean. well lit and spacious in thr corridors between the units. The customer service at this place is impeccable. I dealt with Laeya while first getting the unit and getting it setup. She was super friendly and very knowledgeable and made the whole experience both very pleasant and easy. Highly recommend!

  • Colin Branston

Over priced compared to nearby competitors, not willing to negotiate more competitive rates with long standing good quality tenants. Poor accessibility to facility compared to competitors (access closes at 10pm vs 24hr access at most others). Consistent rate increases as often as possible with no discernible improvement to customer experience or facilities.

  • Mark Real

Jacqueline and Andrea are awesome. They have been a huge help in helping me store and access my belongings . Always happy to lend a hand. There are lots of storage facilities out there, but I would recommend SmartShop and their staff over any of them. Safe, secure, easy to access up to 24hrs a day. Cant ask for more !!! Thank you for your ongoing support.

  • Teo Manning

I was in the middle of a crisis that day and was able to get a storage locker quickly and efficiently with Brianna helping me at Appleby location in Burlington. She has always been very helpful as I also have a unit for business there. She’s always multitasking and helping clients in such a friendly way. Thank you Brianna for all you do !!!

  • Vick Canada

The most reliable storage , finally I found a place where I can trust , SmartStop Self Storage keeps the most valuable thing well kept there !!! Finally I can sleep with no worries , the personal there is extremely attentive on answering my question with the most patience and professionalism Thank you for having the best professional

  • The 1 Vigillante

Cool place. I helped a friend move some stuff in and out of his storage unit here. Pretty cool idea the have. It's like a hotel of storage units. All climate controlled too, so no worries about the type of items you are storing. Nice loading bays and plenty of cars available for large items. Clean facility and friendly staff on site

  • Warren Keach

Andrea the manager at your Appleby Line storage facility in Burlington Ontario was friendly, knowledgeable and through. It was a pleasure working with her on my requirements for my storage needs SmartStop is very modern and convenient and is sure better than standing out in the cold at an outdoor facility like the one I just left

  • Matt B

Great place to store your stuff. Clean, very affordable, and I was able to get a unit same day. Manny made the whole process painless, and when I needed to cancel the unit, he helped me again. Manny was incredibly helpful and clearly works very hard (someone should give this man a raise). Could not recommend more highly.

  • Pete Dragun

Very helpful with me switching to a bigger storage room. This place is VERY clean with no rat infestation and I haven't seen a single insect for the few years I have been using this storage facility. The monthly cost is reasonable for the fact I feel comfort that my items will be safe. I highly recommend!

  • Jenn Bergen

At the time, I was looking for a storage unit. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Andrea answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns. My situation has changed and no longer need a unit but this would be the first and only place I would go if I was in need of a unit in the future.

  • Su Song

Rented a small storage unit for just over a year. Very clean facility, convenient location, friendly staff. They had a good promotion when I got the unit, but the rental price kept going up every 6 months or so. I recently cancelled my unit due to the rising price.. but overall positive experience.

  • sohail amin

Well I came to find a spot to store my stuff and I met sonia and she helped me alot and showed me so many storage spots and and also help me finding the desired storage space at other locations as well. She did a great job and I appreciate her help n customer service and I gave her a 5 star rating.

  • John Luty

Jerry from the Appleby location was professional and very courteous to deal with. He also made sure that the rates were competitive and the promotions were applied to our rental without having to ask. It was a very pleasant experience to deal with a knowledgeable soft sales person that Jerry is.

  • Ian Gardner

Beware!! They are bait and switch artists. They get you on an attractive promotional price then raise the rate in 6 months (by 17% in my case) with absolutely no justification other than "this happens in the storage industry". Originally very pleased but now I'm regretting the move to SmartShop.

  • Tina Buckridge

I loved this place it was bright very clean. Andrea had to be the best at greeting me and for being so helpful did not take long at all. The building is amazing and the people are too I would defanatly recommend going here for your storage needs. Extremely clean and friendly

  • Mike

They will raise the rates on you with no notice. You can hear the manager on the phone coaching the ppl at the store while mocking the customers she thinks can't hear her. I've yet to meet anyone who qualify for their $1 move in the first month. Money hungry scammers.

  • John Paul

It is a pleasure dealing with Jacqueline and Andrea in person, over the phone and through email. They are professional, diligent and possess excellent customer service skills. I have referred this SmartStop location to friends and acquaintances for excellent service.

  • Eva T

Andrea has always been very professional every time I had come in to make a payment or just to go to my unit. I want to thank her very kindly and staff that had been working with her to make my experience fantastic. I wish them all the very best for the future.

  • Mark Lillies

Clean and reliable storage. Customer service was good too when we signed up in person, very friendly. They lost a star in my book as they raised my rates as soon as they were able too. They mentioned rates may change after 6 months and sure enough, an increase.

  • Margaret Kingston

Julia was very helpful! Storage unit was clean. There has only been one time that I visited the unit that I had to wait for a Bay to become available. Good experience so far! Size of unit a little smaller than I had anticipated but adequate to store my things.

  • Rob Draper

Friendly place, lady at the front counter was full of useful information and wow what a big place. I would only suggest maybe a few led emergency lights down the walkways as so dark until your at the scenario. Very creepy. But super clean. Thanks for the help,

  • Fiona Kelly

My girlfriend rents at this location. I was helping her move in some items. Very clean location . HUGE covered loading area which is wicked when raining outside. The staff were very friendly. Excellent lighting and size units. Lots of parking and carts to use.

  • simon Costley

Very clean & secure facility. Staff are friendly & helpful if any issues arise. All units are in a secure building so there is never any issue with water damage or other problems due to weather etc unlike other places that have out building type of storage.

  • angie wilton

Very clean, staff was great and very helpful. Brianna gave us a thorough tutorial on the procedures for entering and storing of our contents as well gave us information on movers. Can't say enough on how well this business is run. Thank you to all the staff

  • Travis “tj” Carbis

My uint was to small i ask them to let me know when a bigger one came available not only did they call me asap. they put it on hold for me when i did not pick up. Thats the kind of thing i never got at my last place i was renting at

  • Nik Robertson

Very clean facility and professional staff. I couldn't be more happy with the pricing. I use to store at U-haul, and I find smart stop just actually cares about there customers and we're not just another monthly payment to them.

  • Derek Serianni

It's refreshing to finally find a storage facility that is run and maintained professionally and with integrity. Thumbs up to the very professional staff that made my experience truly exceptional. Rates are best around too!

  • Avian Yuen

I helped a friend move in here last month. There is a small startup cost of about $70 (startup, insurance), and after that you get their competitive monthly price. Very clean, professional, and friendly. Highly recommend.

  • Jed Albertini

Great company to deal with. Moving in and moving out was smooth and easy. Access to my unit was simple but secure. Any issues I had, which were few were handle quickly. I will recommend them to family and friends.

They raise the prices once a month. Due to "overhead and competitive" the lady said their competition still has higher pricing then them. I checked and thats not true at all.
