5x10 Storage Units

Needed a place to put some stuff in a pinch and the process to get it lease and ready to put my stuff in was so easy so smooth and I was able to complete everything within the hour. The customer service was amazing and it was never busy when I needed to get anything in or out of my unit. The move out process was straightforward and I have no complaints. Would recommend to anyone.

One of the best storage units I’ve rented with, the building is always secure and super clean. The manager Miki is always so helpful and kind too! Would recommend this place to anyone.

Miki is awesome! Every time I stop by, she’s super friendly and always ready to help with whatever anyone needs. She’s hands‑on, quick, and makes the whole facility better. Really appreciate her!!!

Miki is the only reason I’m leaving a 5 star review. She’s AMAZING, very helpful, goes out of her way to be kind, thoughtful and always willing to help problem solve!! For her 5-5. For the unit and company itself 1-5; my unit has been broken into once, they’ve changed their policy on locks and made me buy theirs twice, without notice. Again without notice, they indiscriminately raise rental rates and have done so numerous times since I’ve had my things stored there in the last 2 years. Their computer customer service is AWFUL, frustrating and a waste of time. Going there during business hours to ask Miki in person is the only way to get anything resolved! Again, she’s fantastic, especially considering who she works for!

Miki is great. She really helped me out the other day. The staff here are always helpful . This is one of the best storage facilities I've ever used. And I've used a lot of other storage places. Clean, fair prices, and accessable. Thanks Midgard!

The property manager at the Denver location is super nice and helpful. After some questions about pricing, Lex from customer service reached and really clarified how it works. She was very helpful and really come to my mind about any possible pricing adjustments in the future. The building is very clean, access is easy and parking is very easy. There are hand carts available for moving and the elevators work well.

Check-in couldn't have gone smoother! The technologies used for interaction and communication in the main office helped to expedite the leasing process. A small glitch with a lock that was left on the unit when I went to it was settled by the next day ... Minor inconvenience.
