    Read some helpful reviews of Extra Space Storage, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

    Stayed a year and rates went way up. Just decided to go to place that doesn’t double the rates every year. I will pay more upfront to just not have all the pricing hassle. The new place guarantees the rate for a few years. Peace of mind even tho I paid a little more upfront. ... Read more

    This storage place is super awesome and understanding. I had gone through a bad place in my life and Dolly was way communitive with my significant other and was able to keep in compliance with making payments instead of having my unit being lost and all my stuff as well this place is highly recommended to anybody who would like a place that understands and it works to you and give you the best prices . ...

    The first day I rented from them the lady was all nice.However my 2nd day there she came to my storage and said I had been in there for 2hrs and that's not acceptable.when I tried to explain I was trying to get my stuff in order but being in a weel chair takes me longer. She stated I was only to drop stuff off orpick things up. If I'm to be caught there in unappreciated amount of time again, she would kick me out and I'd lose all the money I just paid to move in.the hours stat 6am to10pm no where are there rules stating one can not be in there storages.I think this may be a money scam! I give them 1 star. ... Read more

    Used a unit starting back on August to keep my stuff until I move to Phoenix, AZ. Dolly helped me rent my unit. She was SUPER good at getting me the help I needed and the answers to the questions I had. Price was a little up there, but that’s just San Diego for you. Overall, I would suggest this little spot to anyone in East County! ... Read more
