For the location, security and price… They have my vote… The two guys who run the place are great Yin/Yang balances… Both are very kind in the own way (one may seem a little mean, but he is just no frills by the book…) I have a storage and a mailbox for a GREAT rate… Automated billing too! ...

Whoever was working around 2pm on 2/2/2023 should be fired immediately. I’ve had 2 units at this place for over a year and attempted to call in today to get some really basic info, only to have whoever was working not only be unhelpful, but also incredibly rude. Newsflash buddy, customer service is part of your job. It’s one thing to be unwilling or unable to answer a simple question, but to be rude in the process is unacceptable. ... Read more

I have been a client for many years, and am satisfied with the storage, security, accessibility, location and generally, the cost for storage. However, my partner and I are both very unhappy about a strange billing practice that recurs over the years... every now and then, Golden Bear either creates an extra invoice or fails to record a payment. Even though you pay reliably and on time, they began to send late notices and pre-lien notices, and they seem unable or unwilling to provide accounting details to prove their claim. Based on the threats to sell your stuff, you are forced to make extra additional payments, so it is not such a good deal, after all. I hope that these recurrent mistakes are honest mistakes, but I can not give a better rating until the management takes the time to correct their accounting and book keeping practices, and respond to our concerns. ...

Been storing my extra stuff here for at least 10 years, and even upgraded in size, and the price is really reasonable for the area. They have always been very helpful and accommodating. Really easy access until 5 every day, with plenty of carts available. Clean and secure. ... Read more

We have had our things in two storage units here for over ten years. We have always paid our bill on time, paying for both units in one check. All of a sudden we got a phone call saying we were behind in payments on one unit. I told the person on the phone that I had the cancelled check information and they must have made a mistake. It never dawned on me that they wouldn't go back and check their records and correct the mistake. Then I got a phone call saying they had put a lien on one of my units! I was told "It's on the paper here" -- the implication being that it must be true. This was on a Friday afternoon, but the person I needed to talk to would not be there until Monday. I took all my records in on Monday and talked to this person who took a very long time messing around on the computer before he made the corrections. He assured me everything was now fine. On the next Saturday I got a paper in the mail saying that a lien had been put on my things. It had been mailed on the Thursday after I talked to the man on Monday. When I went down to talk to them I was told that they "just put the papers in there for a while and then mailed them." This is no way to run a business. I have a small business. When my records show someone has not paid, I first go through my own records to make sure I didn't forget to check the payment in before putting it in the bank before I speak to the client. Golden Bear needs to learn better business practices. ... Read more
