    Welcoming, extremely informative, and very professional… Micheal has been a huge help with our storage needs. He helped us last year during our initial sign-on, and once again recently, during our transfer to a bigger unit. Ask for Michael is you need any help at this facility. Also a plus, the storage facility is clean and well maintained. ... Read more

    I have posted a review with the corporate office as well. The employees are great to with but be aware… Promotional rates are just that. Once a couple months go by you are hit with rent increases of 50-90%. I have been with the Ladera Ranch property since it was Smart Stop before they were Extra Space and returned to Smart Stop. I am paying more than people just renting from the property at street rate with no promotion. The employees are not empowered to do anything except email their district manager. The process takes weeks to resolve with multiple call backs. In my last incident the district manager agreed to roll back my rent to the old rate which was still $50 higher than street rate, but 30 days later I was hit with another rent increase that was higher than before the roll back. Unless you really need short term storage or the proximity convenience I would stay away from Smart Stop. Their promotions are just gimmicks to get you enrolled but expect sharp rent increases within a few months! UPDATE 10-17-25 DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE SOCIAL MEDIA RESPONSE trying to show care about the on going issues with uncontrollable rent increases. The number provided in the Smart Stop response leads to a call center that is not empowered to resolve the issue. It’s a fact of life at Smart Stop. Plan on infinite escalating rent increases. ...

    Michael was very knowledgeable and helpful in showing us around the SmartStop building. He was accommodating when we weren’t satisfied with the first storage unit. The storage unit itself was clean and had air conditioning! Appreciated the excellent customer service! ... Read more
    melody c. - 27 August 2025
    3 stars because the employees at the branch, especially Michael, are awesome and super helpful. That being said, beware the predatory practices that the corporate office employs. They will offer you low “promotional” rates to lure unsuspecting customers in. After just a few months they will significantly raise your rent, hoping that you either will 1) not notice or 2) roll over and accept it. This practice has really soured my view of the company and I will spread the word to friends and family to stay away for that reason. ... Read more

    This was my first time ever renting a storage unit, and I didn’t know what to expect walking in. But Michael at SmartStop Self Storage made the experience great. He was knowledgeable, patient, and professional. He took the time to walk me and my wife through all the options and helped us pick the perfect unit for my needs. The place is awesome in general. Very clean, secure and convenient. ... Read more
    John S. - 7 June 2025
    First time renting a storage unit and this has been an absolutely great experience. When I arrived I was meant by Michael, super helpful and friendly gave me a tour of the facility and was very apologetic because it was currently being painted. As such, the elevators were just recently painted so out of service so we had to walk to the other end of the building to access the storage unit. He couldn’t have been nicer or more friendly. The sign up was easy and the prices were better than comparable units in South Orange County. Overall a great experience and a big thanks to Michael . ... Read more
    Larry R. - 6 April 2025
    I lost my keys to my unit, so I needed someone to cut it off. On a Saturday afternoon Michael immediately came to help me! He drilled off my lock and gave me a new one, even though it was a more challenging lock to get through, then cleaned it all up for me. So kind and helpful! I’m very grateful Michael! ... Read more
    Kaylee C. - 22 March 2025
    A fabulous experience! Adding the cost of a storage unit to your budget is rarely favored. Michael took extra time to make sure I found a unit in a location that would suit my needs. Matt stepped in at the end in an attempt to resolve a concern too. Who knew you could find this type of customer service in the office of a storage unit rental location. Make these guys your first stop If you need a storage unit! ... Read more

    I recently had the pleasure of utilizing Extra Storage in Ladera Ranch, and I can't recommend them highly enough! From the moment I walked in, the friendly and professional staff made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The facility is impeccably clean and well-maintained, giving me complete confidence in the safety and security of my belongings. The variety of unit sizes and the competitive pricing made it easy to find the perfect storage solution for my needs. Additionally, the climate-controlled units ensured that my items were protected from the elements, which was a huge relief. Accessing my unit was always convenient, thanks to their flexible hours and easy-to-navigate layout. The on-site amenities, such as dollies and carts, were incredibly helpful for moving larger items. Overall, Extra Storage in Ladera Ranch exceeds expectations in every way. Their commitment to customer satisfaction and top-notch facilities make them the best choice for anyone in need of storage solutions. Five stars all the way! ... Read more
