    Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage, 8615 East Mcdowell Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85257, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

    I had an absolutely horrible experience here. No human on site to help if there is any issues, only an AI kiosk. Took days to get a response and no refund, even though the unit I rented didn’t work at all. It wasn’t advertised as a swing door and not a roll up, my quads didn’t fit and they couldn’t switch me to another unit or location. Absolute headache when I spent time and money, not to mention my only day off to drive a load all the way out there. I mean look at how tiny the door is for a 10X20 unit. ... Read more

    Tracy has made my time using Public Storage amazing. As I was cleaning out my unit, she even went the extra mile and offered to help me with some boxes. Her kindness and ability to go above and beyond really made this a wonderful experience. I’m grateful to have met her and we need more people in the world like Tracy who are willing to help and expect nothing in return! Thank you Tracy and thank you Public Storage. 10/10 recommend to anyone who needs it! ... Read more

    I had a public storage here for roughly 6 months and it was easy as pie, lock was fun and easy to open, my storage had ample amount of space, I fit in 3 super giant bean bags, washer and dryer, and tons more stuff easily fit inside. When it was time to give up the keys and end my membership it was as simple as one quick phone call and an image of my storage being empty, they told me keep the lock and take care. Easy, reliable, and I just happened to memorize my pin to get inside/outside the storage but they give you an option to I believe have an app to quickly open / scan the gate which I chose not to use. Thank you again ... Read more

    BUYER BEWARE!!! Only three months ago we signed an agreement for $22 per month for a 5X10 at the 8615 E McDowell location. I did my due diligence regarding billing to be sure there would "Be no hidden fees later, and that my price wouldn't double after some "seasonal" promotion ended" I was ASSURED THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN. Today I received notice that my 5X10 storage will increase from $22 per month to $80 per month (Thats a 300% increase!) The woman at that location was kind and sweet ( I told her I would mention) but she explained that at that location they charge customers based off occupancy. Translation: If their business is doing poorly and you come along and help their business survive that just as soon as they have better occupancy it is their practice to RAISE THE PRICES ON YOU. This is how they do business. The location rep told me that the call center it basically a different company so they make deals with people all they time but they never have to answer for those customers when the actual location breeches those agreements so they have a nice system pretty well figured out. I'm leaving these reviews to tell the next person because I hate being scammed. ... Read more

    Simply just an unhappy customer and experience with this place your typical storage BS!: Spoke to manager about move out requirements. Was told just move out and let us know. Was in process of doing that and was told that I am still responsible for the entire Months rent. Kinda ridiculous when I asked about the requirements. So i pay for the entire month and you guys rent the unit again double $$. Make sense ?? make sure if you move in, out before the 1st and stay the entire last month. ... Read more

    I'd like to say to thank Jeff from Curry road. He is the sweetest guy. He was very helpful in answering my questions. Very knowledgeable of the products. He listens, and he put me in what I needed, not he wanted to make a commission. I will highly recommend public storage because of Jeff, and his professionalism. Thank you Jeff! ... Read more
