Woolen Mills Self Storage

Clean, affordable, secure, and convenient to downtown Charlottesville. No complaints whatsoever.

We used a 20×10 unit for about 6 months in 2013. It was clean, secure, and easily accessible when I needed to reach my stuff. I paid a lot less than other places quoted me in town. The owner and staff were all really nice and helpful. I would highly recommend this storage company.

So far so good. I just signed up for a 5×10 storage unit last week. I reserved it over the phone with a credit card because I was worried that the UVA students would use up all the remaining storage units when they move out of their dorms this week.
I drove down to Charlottesville on Saturday to move things out of my mom’s old house into storage. We arrived to the storage site with a truck full of stuff. No one was around at the office but there was a sign to call a # if you needed help. So we did that and within 5 mins the manager came cruising a long on this golf cart. He got us checked in, gave me the lock and key, and lead us to the unit. The unit was clean and easy to access. The door is easy to open as well as the lock. They also give you a personal security code for the gate (to get in and out).
We moved another truck load of stuff that afternoon. They said they do not have flooding in that area (unlike other storage unit places in Charlottesville) so that’s good. They have also been around for almost 12 years and I got 2 positive references from other people which is why I chose to go here. They are also the same price as most other places and not the most expensive. I am paying $ 80 a month for my 5×10 unit. I chose not to get climate controlled (more expensive) + they were already sold out.
The manager guy who I worked with over the phone was always quick to call me back and helpful. The only thing is that he talks real fast, I mean REAL FAST and you can’t really understand anything he is saying even when sitting across from him in his office. I just nodded my head acting like I knew what was going on, but really I had no clue! He knows what he’s doing though as he’s been working there for over 11 years.
My favorite thing about the place is it’s isolation feeling from the rest of the sitting. It’s very green in that area — lots of trees and tons of birds chirping away. It was a peaceful setting moving all that stuff.
