    I am writing to express my concerns about the recent changes at this facility. Patricia, the previous manager, was exceptional and genuinely cared about the customers. However, since her departure, the quality of service has noticeably declined. The new manager, Pablo, has shown a troubling lack of professionalism and empathy. His behavior suggests racial bias, His response to complaints seems to be an indifferent “if you don’t like it, go somewhere else.” Additionally, he often appears to act as if he doesn’t understand nor speak Spanish, despite working in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. Additionally, there has been a troubling increase in rent prices, which was not the case before. The overall maintenance and cleanliness of the facility have deteriorated significantly. The restrooms are consistently dirty, the units are poorly maintained, and there is a noticeable infestation of roaches. I hope these issues are addressed promptly to restore the quality of service and upkeep at the facility. ... Read more

    Went in person after receiving an email my storage fees increased. This happens so often it’s stressful. I had to move 10 unit down same size. I couldn’t even downgrade because the few that were available were upstairs, that’s inconvenient. If you decide to move in get their online promo first. I missed out when I moved in, staff didn’t even give me first month free nor discounted price. Wish A1 self storage would reward those who pay on time and reconsider their high quarterly increases. ... Read more

    I love this place, the staff, the clean setting most of the time, and clean bathrooms. No roaches or creepy animals have been seen on the premises since I first came over 10 years ago.But the prices keep going up. It is too expensive to maintain after being here a considerable period of time. Even moving to a smaller unit can be too high. What I don't like are vendors that have stuff outside their storage all over the place. It makes this nice storage look like a swap meet. Junky. Several people hanging around one storage. Trying to get to the bathroom can be a challenge at times. With people's family members and friends hanging around. Also, I believe when this happens, we unknowingly drive over nails, and screws, and end up with holes in our tires. This has occurred several times to my tires. We may need security at some point(human). ... Read more

    If I ever need a storage unit again I would go back to A-1 Self Storage. Their customer service is excellent, no matter who is in the front office or on the phone. They accommodate their customers to the best of their ability. My friend got another storage elsewhere and we were able to compare prices, accessibility and their service. A-1 won hands down. The hours are very good for those of us that work a 9-5 and you can call to get an extension for that day to have access to your unit. Open 7 days a week too. And on my last month they gave me no hassles and only charged me for the time used. I received great service all the through. ... Read more

    I personally store my items here and I absolutely love the cleanliness of this place. My storage is dust free and insect free. The first time I came here, I was given a grand tour to see what size of a unit best fit my needs. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Brittany has been the most helpful in getting me a transfer in the size of my unit... The employees truly look out for your best interest!! ... Read more
