    I don't often write reviews but I had to say that Pat and her colleagues at Alamo are the BEST! They went above and beyond to help us when we needed to get my son's car shipped across the country after he finished school. Cal Poly students -- I highly recommend that you use them. They take good care of you. ... Read more

    I've used this place for on-and-off for over ten years. This stretch, I've been storing things there for the last 3-4 years. I've never had an issue with security, cleanliness or with management. It's only gotten better when they hired Pat as a manager. She has been absolute pleasure to work with. I've been there long enough to see a few managers come and go. I don't even recall their names, lol. Pat... well, she has the most pleasant & professional demeanor. It's been a real pleasure working with her! ... Read more

    I've dealt with the people who run this facility for many years and used to recommend them many time a week to my customers. I went in one day and as soon as I opened my mouth, the fat lady who was there told me that she didn't want my business, or me in there, any more. It seems that she became friends with a competitor of mine and decided to do business with him. She had been throwing my business cards away for months and lying about it. I've seen her talk about customers badly. Even after the rats in their units destroyed the furniture of my customers, the owners denied responsibility. Never wanting to apologize or make things right with the people who lost their belongings to Rat Damage. SLO Self storage has the same problems. The owners used to be nice to their customers and business partners, but now they have this young FAT CHICK running the office and pissing people off. ... Read more
