    This review is solely for the property on Parkway East in Birmingham AL. Jeannine may have been having a bad day and honestly there are two different regions of Public Storage. ( I was informed) I won three storage units with Public Storage. 1) off of lakeshore, they were awesome, district manager was there, she answered all my questions, had my invoice ready, gave me my storage code and gate key. 2) property off of Oxmoor, we hit a computer snag, but the manager fixed it, had my invoice ready, and gave me the code and gate code. 3) Parkway East, Jeanine seemed to be annoyed right off the back as she was in the units cleaning. I understood because it was hot outside. She asked for the invoice number and I said oh I don’t have it, they had it ready at the other two properties. She said “ well I’m just doing my job and I need to see the invoice number before we proceed”. (They only asked for my last name as the invoice was already printed and ready) My husband proceeded to get my phone out of the car. I said, “ I just left another public storage and the district manager was there and there was no issue”. She replied, “ well that’s another district manager” Cool! No problem! Jeannine took my payment and we proceed outside. She did not give me the code to the unit or the gate code. She opened the gate and literally sat there as if I was suppose to know where she wanted me to go. The gate then closed again ?? only then she speeds up to the gate, reopens it, then proceed towards the unit. ??????? once we were there, she opened the lock and my crew began. Instantly we noticed the unit was in horrible condition. Half way of looking we stop and say hey let’s go talk to Jeannine. I talk to her and say hey can I get a refund this unit is full of mildew. There was a hole in the top of the unit so I’m like is it water damage. Jeannine calls the district manager and we start talking. I say the unit is full of mildew and I see a hole in the top so could it be water damage. I show Jeannine the picture, she says that’s not water damage! Ok yall! Then she (DM)is talking about how it’s my responsibility and I’ll get banned, then Jeannine says well it does that when it is in there for a long time! I am so fine with that, but if that’s the case why not just put in the description everything is mildewed. So I said, “ didn’t someone take the pictures, so someone saw the condition of the units when it was opened” and by her comment seems like she was aware of the mildew. Jeannine says “ I didn’t take any pics!”…. So it’s my loss, but please be weary of THIS Public Storage! I have never had to deal with this kind of unethical, unprofessional, disrespectful behavior before. This is for Jeannine and her district manager. The district manager was very kind off of lakeshore, she should probably give her colleague some pointers. On another note I have been doing this for a while. There is a refund policy for auction buyers if the description of the unit is considered biohazard. Well at other places ?? I think rodents and mildew should be outlined in the description. Anywho. This is my opinion. ... Read more
