Local Storage Competitor C – 6 Minutes (2.7 Miles) from Hwy 50

However, their 6-minute route to and from the highway can often be hindered by school traffic, and Highway 50’s trip to green project through Placerville.  

Value for Money

When evaluating storage options, it’s crucial to consider both the price and the overall value.  Here’s how Storageville USA stacks up against the competition in terms of value:

Security:

Storageville USA excels in security, with 24/7 surveillance cameras, electronic gate access, and security lighting, as well as a secondary security system that alerts all employees/managers of movement outside of access hours. The manager can be reached by phone after hours. The above-listed security features are accompanied daily by thorough facility walk-throughs by our diligent staff providing peace of mind for customers.

Competitors A and C offer moderate to enhanced security, while Competitor B has standard security with a lack of access to a manager or staff after business hours.

Accessibility:

Storageville USA and Competitors  B and C offer the widest range of accessible hours, providing flexibility for customers. Competitor A’s limited hours may be a significant inconvenience.

Customers commend the clean facility and friendly staff of  Competitor B, however, multiple negative reviews have been posted in regard to more serious matters; leaking units, and pest problems.  More recent reviews show positive changes, in staffing and ownership.
