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

I have been a customer of State Street Storage since 2009. The fee for a 10x10 storage was monthly deducted from my credit card. Sometime in late 2021 the payment was rejected; I don't know the reason because my card was not expired. I didn't realize the charge was not going through, State Street Storage had my email address and my phone number but never bothered to contact me instead they sent notices to my old address and when they didn't hear back, they decided to auction my belongings. After 14 years of being their customer auctioning my items was what they decided I deserved. I lost many valuable personal belongings included documents, photos, and items that I saved when I fled a warzone country, they are all gone. To this day, they have not apologized, instead argued it was my fault for not updating my mailing address that they assume I was dead. When I found out I was furious, you cannot imagine my anger, I was not expecting this after 14 years of renting the storage. In this time and age where business is conducted 90 percent by email and phone how come it never occurred to them to try to email or call me before auctioning my items? Their action caused me a lot of pain, I try hard to avoid thinking what items I had in the storage. If I were you, I would pick another storage. ... Read more

Really nice facility, be wary of the manager (you can't miss him he's huge) . The manager (Jaime) I'd a really A-hole and likes to try and belittle people and intimidate then. Fairly expensive as for as other facilities in The area. The gate times could be more accommodating. ... Read more

Storage itself is ok. I have several issues with them however; the woman I spoke to on multiple occasions both in person and over the phone is unprofessional and does not seem to know what she is doing. They are not offering their moving truck services "due to covid" despite still advertising on their website about it. The elevator was not large enough to fit half of a sectional couch so I had to take it up 3 flights of stairs. Considering how much I paid for the unit, I should not have had as many problems that I did. This was the only place that had storage space left so I didn't really have a choice, but they have made moving more stressful than it should have been. I got several calls on different mornings (back to back if I did not answer) while I was either in class or work just for them to tell me my lock looked weird. Overall, unprofessional vibes and not the most convenient storage space. ... Read more

Overall great experience. The facility is well maintained, staff was very helpful with all my questions. The manager, Jamie, is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything is to my satisfaction; all while maintaining a professionally friendly demeanor. I recommend this place to anyone who needs a storage facility that is a cut above the rest. ... Read more

State Street Storage is absolutely the best storage company in Santa Barbara. Having an affordable and prime location in Santa Barbara that is close to Goleta, the staff has been excellent in providing courteous and kind service, assisting with my every need for the past year an a half that I have been a client. Jamie, the Office Manager, is exemplary in his customer service, ensuring I and my family have had all questions and concerns accounted for while going above and beyond my expectations. I have never been more satisfied as a customer. If you need your treasured belongings stored and cared for, this is truly the storage company for you! ... Read more

Excellent location and a very clean and well run facility. Jamie was very helpful and is always very professional. I recommend this storage place over any other in Santa Barbara. Their rates are reasonable especially considering it's in SB. If you can get a unit here you don't need to look anywhere else. ... Read more

AVOID!! My friends and I rented a 10x10 unit for one month, and first off, it was extremely expensive. When we got there to move our stuff in, we were most unfortunate to encounter the manager, Jamie. He's a condescending, sexist, gross man. Because we are a group of 20 something college girls he spoke to us incredibly rudely and refused to help us in any way. He's the kind of guy who uses the small amount of power he has in any way he possibly can, especially over women. In sharp comparison, Vincent was amazing. He's an employee and he was super helpful. We love Vincent, HATE Jamie!! Overall, a pretty terrible experience renting here. ... Read more
