Read some helpful reviews of U-Stor-It, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I was renting a unit for 3 yrs service was ok, but hours were so inconvenient only open 9 to 5. Closed on holidays and sundays. After the 2nd year they started switching from one management company to another to the point where it was impossible to make a payment. Every other month they would change phone numbers. Last month my storage unit got broken into a long with other units that were picked randomly, most everything was stolen and i ended up just taking what was left and moving to another storage place. I do not recommend this place as there is no security whatsoever and office is always closed. ... Read more

Worse place ever. Get away from the San ysidro location. Rats infection, homeless living on site, everything is extremely dirty, no restroom access, this place is open 24/7 the lock is only for looks. I had brought my concerns many times to the management a light color skin who claims is the manager from the Otay and also this location. She said they are not going to do anything about it and I can leave if I want to because that location is not something they are concerned about since they are going to demolished sometime soon meanwhile they charge rent every month and we just got a notification of $20 dllrs increase. I was at this location since 2020. I went through multiple owners since but by far the worse ownership is this. No one works there they only come to collect money couple of days at the beginning of the month. Everyone is leaving this location but again according to the manager who cares if we leave I signed a contract and I was ok with the current location etc I even told her what if I get attack my a homeless since there was one living on top of my unit she said well we won't cover that. Again this is the worst place ever and no one cares about nothing. Right now I left on the month of December 2024 because 3 homeless cars moved in inside and again they didn't do anything about it and I was concerned about my well being. ... Read more

The storage is nice, with a mission style design and it has many size units. The only thing that would make me think about renting here is the hours, but it's great if you don't need it on Sundays. Marvin, missing your presence here, friend. ... Read more

This is an active business with many storage units of several different sizes available by the month. It's securely locked at night. The office is open daily. It's also an interesting place as the owner has collected cacti and succulents for many years and has many mature species. ... Read more
