So, landuse=self_storage would probably be the way to tag them, using out convention of 
underscores as separators.  "Self-storage" is also the standard USA term for 
such facilities.  From my personal experience, they typically have several different 
sizes of enclosed spaces available, some opening directly to the outdoors (as in the 
photo) and some off interior hallways.
i think we want to think about this a little more.

there are many of these that are standalone facilities. however,
there are others which are not, but rather places that have self-storage
in addition to other stuff. two examples:

Mabey's Moving and Storage:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=mabey%27s+moving+and+storage,+rensselaer+ny&sll=43.612217,-73.740234&sspn=18.599719,46.40625&ie=UTF8&hq=mabey%27s+moving+and+storage,&hnear=Rensselaer,+New+York&ll=42.645592,-73.708949&spn=0.004617,0.01133&t=h&z=17

part of this complex is self storage, part of it is Mabey's dock for transfer
to moving vans, part of it Mabey's offices.

U-Haul Moving and Storage of Albany:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=U-Haul,&sll=42.6412,-73.750987&sspn=0.001105,0.003854&ie=UTF8&t=h&rq=1&ev=p&split=1&radius=0.12&hq=U-Haul,&hnear=&ll=42.6412,-73.750987&spn=0.001105,0.003854&z=19

this location has a store for moving/storage/towing supplies,
truck rental, and self-storage
