    I was in need of a storage place who I can trust so I was given information of this amazing storage place, I had the pleasure to meet Ricardo and Jennifer which were also very helpful to me and very informative. I can trust this place with my personal and memorabilia items. I highly recommend this Public storage and will always come back. Thank you for your services. ... Read more

    The worst storage place I've ever used. Hand carts are not available unless you find someone in the office to unlock them, and there is almost never anyone in the office. When I moved in, I had to wait 2 hours for someone to get to the office and let me move into the space. Yesterday I was there for 3 hours and did not see anyone in the office and so had to carry everything to my storage unit by hand. The elevator is extremely slow, so it's much faster to go up the stairs if you're able. The building is very stuffy and hot, so you quickly get exhausted moving things around in there. One of my friends had her unit there broken into and a lot of stuff stolen. Will gladly pay more to avoid this place in the future. ... Read more

    Very pleased with the service that was provided by Ricardo! I honestly felt very welcomed and impressed with the service and cleanliness at this public storage location. Definitely a 5 star location and can ensure you that at thai location you will be in good hands! ... Read more

    I didn't realize Public Storage moved to %100 self service until I recently spoke to the manager who said she's not even at the location. Interesting, they should be more up front with their business model. I've had much better experiences with Extra Space Storage. B Wayne Hughes would be rolling in his grave. ... Read more

    Poorly managed! No one is ever available in person or by phone. There are also people living in there! It would be nice to be able to report that to someone but there's NEVER a manager or employee available. Avoid at all costs. Extra Space storage had excellent customer service -- go there instead! ... Read more

    Ricardo is very pleasant yet professional in guiding me through the registration process. He is so patient and knowledgeable in the selection of the appropriate storage for my daughter. At the same time, Ricardo seems to have an emotional intelligence which is a rare quality to possess. He is indeed an asset to the organization. Hold on to this GEM! Thank you for assisting me. ...

    There is NEVER anyone in the office and NOBODY EVER answers the phone. Good luck if you ever have any issues! Unless of course you are renting. They'll definitely take your money! I couldn't even get anyone on the line at the corporate office to complain. What happened to customer service. I guess once they get your money, they're done with you! ... Read more

    Genesis was fantastic! She was very patient with all of our questions. Public Storage is very lucky to have Genesis. She stayed late on a Friday night to help us. Like many, we are impacted by the Eaton Canyon Fire and needed a safe space to store my husband’s Art. ... Read more
