A-1 Self Storage

Convenient. Easy. Affordable. Staff are helpful and very nice. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

First off, let me say that all Storage Facilities are terrible. That being said, this is about as good as you can do. It prices are cheaper than Keepers and American (the other 2 locations in Downtown JC). It also is extremely dry, and doesn’t have that musty, mildewy, washed-​out dumpster stank that is wafting through both Keepers and American. The staff is WAY more friendly here than at Keepers and American. This place also has an elevator that you can use on your own, without having to wait for an attendant. Also, you can drive your vehicle directly into this Storage Facility, so you can load/​unload in bad whether without get soaked, or freezing to death. Solid spot…

I read the 2 reviews, I was scared. But, I needed a storage unit. I checked the facility in downtown JC first and they were so expensive, as well as dirty and I was not greeted warmly. Another con: every time you want to use the elevator you need to have an attendant. Yikes.
I found A-​1 Self Storage and although they are still quite expensive, they were $ 10 cheaper than the other facilities in Jersey City and offered the 2^nd month free. The people at the front are completely professional and it looks like they keep this storage facility clean and in tip-​top shape. The elevator is on the smaller side, but you can use it freely along with the hand trucks. I cannot stress how bright and clean this place is compared to the other facilities I checked out in Jersey City.
The times are definitely not as convenient for those who work from 9 – 5 M-​F since they close I believe at about 7PM on weekdays, but I guess you’ll just have to come during the weekend time frame.
As of yet, no problems. I’ll be sure to update if there are any.

I have used them in and off since 2008. They have always been courteous and pleasant. The storage rooms are dry (always a concern in downtown JC.) Never a problem. Parking is easy. Only downside: wish they had later hours.

We rented a 10×10 storage unit to store stuff from our apt for a few months. The unit doesn’t have a real ceiling so now all of our belongings have thick layer of dust and peeling paint from the ceiling. Apparently they did some sprinkler work but forgot to cover all the units. I’m moving my stuff out ASAP. Their hours are also very inconvenient. They are only open business hours so if you need access during the week, you have to take time off of work.
