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

    Absolutely unacceptable experience at the 1601 Watson Ct location. I am a current customer with an active lease and my account is fully paid via AutoPay. However, the electronic gate and door access systems are completely broken, meaning I am locked out and cannot access my own property in unit #E064. ?To make matters worse, this is a "ghost" facility. There is NEVER any staff on-site to assist you when the system fails, and standard customer service is incredibly slow to respond. They are very quick to take your money every month, but completely fail to provide the basic access outlined in the rental agreement. ?If you need reliable access to your belongings and actual customer support, avoid this location at all costs. I will be updating this review if management finally decides to fix the issue. ... Read more

    I had a great experience using this self-storage facility for my vehicle. The property is clean, secure, and well maintained, which gave me real peace of mind leaving my vehicle there. Access was easy and convenient, and the layout made parking and retrieving my vehicle stress-free. The staff was friendly, professional, and always willing to answer questions. Pricing was fair with no hidden surprises (and I hope it stays that way!). I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for safe, reliable vehicle storage. ... Read more

    RJ is an employee that can handle all issues and problems that can be encounter in the company. Even though he is just new in this branch (Pecten), i noticed that the way he communicate, he can answer any questions that is being asked calmly and with respect to the customer. One time i went to pay my bill almost 5pm, i know that he’s already tired but still welcomes me with a smile and patiently answers my questions. I know that if he stays longer in this branch, he can attract more customers because of the good traits that he has. It happens that RJ is my employee, i would promote him to a higher position. I also hope that he can work permanently in this branch. Keep up the good work RJ! ... Read more

    The front desk and customer service was excellent in all respects. My negative is the general business model of public storage. I started with a 10 x 15 for ~$100/mo and within 2 years it was over $300/mo. So I went back, threw away half of my stuff to get it back down to $100/MO. But even in the smaller space, within 2 years it was back over $300 again. I just went back again (now 5 years later) and reduced my space to a 10x5, giving away more stuff to friends and the Salvation Army. The business model for public storage, which has nothing to do with the kind people working at the front desk -- is predatory. It preys on people who have normal and natural difficulty letting go of possessions. Unless you've got heirlooms and artwork (and are rich), long-term storage has turned into a racket where are you are the frog the initially pleasant water, and they just constantly turn up the temperature. Are you ready to pay $20,000 to store your belongings for 4 years? Take a picture of stuff for your memories and give the rest to family, friends, and people in need. The historical concept of affordable long-term Public Storage is broken. Ask them about price increases and then do the math. ... Read more

    After long search, we finally locate this site. It’s very convenient and has easy access to nearby freeway 680. The manager Dawn is very friendly and helpful. She answered all the questions that we have and even explained the details that we didn’t even think of. The whole renting experience was very good and easy. Thank you, Dawn! ... Read more
