    This is a really nice facility, a storage building built inside a larger warehouse. The units are very clean and it’s easy to drive right up to the aisle. Marion has helped me twice (I came back to rent another unit for my business) and she’s extremely professional and efficient. I’ve rented several storage units before and this is the nicest place I’ve ever rented from. Good faciiity, good staff. ... Read more

    Recently purchased a storage unit here and the storage manager, Marion, was really helpful in reserving our unit space! The storage place itself is quite large with ample space inside for multiple cars to come and unload your stuff. The space is two levels, with the second level being accessible via stairs for people and a lift available for your heavy items. The storage units are accessible between 6:30am and 9pm, and have camera surveillance 24/7. They also have a mobile app available to access the entrance gate, which is convenient. Cost is reasonable, but be aware that they are subject to rent increase; 30-day notice will be given! ... Read more

    Marion and Davonte were both very helpful. Marion explained the process and when we went back Davonte helped my husband and I set up our unit and pick the perfect location. He was very patient in walking us through the process. The only negative is the site itself, no working bathroom and exit door is broken. (Someone ran into it) 5 star service with a 3 star site. ...

    James was extremely helpful today. He was very professional, friendly and explained everything very throughly. We came in to downsize a unit that we currently had to something smaller since we did not have as much stuff as we thought. James was also extremely patient with us as he walked us through the process. ... Read more

    Aubrey at the Alameda Public Storage location provided exceptional service—professional, considerate, and accommodating. She effectively addressed my concerns, offering multiple solutions. Her multitasking skills were impressive, ensuring timely service without compromising quality. Aubrey genuinely cares about customers and efficiently handles all tasks, making her highly recommended. * the shutter from inside has a bar that takes 1/2 foot space so be watchful of it and it will block and might scratch belongings if unit is stuffed too tightly. ...

    Her name is Marion. She works at Public Storage at 1913 Sherman St. in Alameda. I am sharing my last week's positive renting experience with her based on our three phone conversations including yesterday Sunday 03/16/25- the move-in day. I was interested in an 8' x 8' unit. Soon after my online registration last week, this lady called me regarding my interest. Followed her clear guidance with patient answers for my questions, very quickly she earned my trust to proceed for confirmation. The contract with instructions came. She also gave me the number to reach her with specifics (i.e. her off days). I did call her soon after for a minor clarification and got it. In the morning of the move-in day, I called for the gate code. Only a few minutes later, she rang me back and sent me the code promptly. I passed on the code to my son who just moved to that neighborhood and needed the storage. He was able to check the unit and got the keys right off the bat. That's efficiency. The entire process went smoothly and I felt good. I've not met Marion in person. But in our communication experiences she was attentive, sincere and trustworthy. Thank you Marion for representing your company well for a customer. ... Read more

    Public Storage bought our storage facility and gave little information during the transition. I was slapped with a late fee right away and a threat of a lien. I went to the facility during business hours five different times and the door was locked and no-one was within. Calling the number there likewise went straight to a recording. During this time, we got another late fee while I was still trying to speak with someone at the facility. In the end, we never got assistance or communication. They are happy to slap late fees and threaten liens, but are not available for you to resolve these issues. A business that has nobody working during business hours is a serious red flag and a massive security risk to your possessions within. No-one is looking at the camera. Use Public Storage at your own risk, and let me tell you, it is a risk! ... Read more
