    I was offered a "lifetime" discounted rate when I joined, and less than 6 months later they are increasing my storage unit monthly cost by 52%. Unacceptable. Do not trust them, they wait for you to move all of your stuff in then increase rates by over 50%! At least they gave a 1 month warnings... (joking. Seriously, what the hell public storage) ...

    Do not put your stuff here. Zero cell service. You won't get any important messages. also no service for quite some time after you've left. Many times I've been in a blazing hurry and I have to restart my phone before I can even set GPS. I would have never selected this site had I known.Not receiving messages when I'm in there has caused me problems over and over again. ... Read more

    Disappointed with Public Storage I chose Public Storage because I was assured it was safe. Within a year, my unit was broken into, and $7,000 worth of camping equipment was stolen. The staff’s response was simply, “You should have paid for the insurance.” I was led to believe the insurance was for fire or water damage—not theft. If I had known security was an issue, I would have reconsidered or added theft insurance. Why don’t they include theft insurance in the rent or provide door sensors—or at least offer the option to add them? We trust storage facilities for security, but this experience shows otherwise. Apparently, theft is a regular occurrence at many storage facilities, but they don’t disclose this. Even when I asked, they denied it happens. They lie about it to get your business. Think twice before renting here, and if you do, get extra insurance or find a facility with better security measures. ... Read more

    Stay away from this storage. They will try to charge you still after you move out for another month. Serena was extremely rude and kept on shouting at me saying that they will send me to collections even though I already move out. Talisma, the manager, when I first moved in, coerced me into putting a five star review on google and hovered over me watching me write the review. As I was moving out friday, Talisma recklessly drove backwards on the property lot almost hitting my car, and just drove away without apologizing or nothing. It’s all crazy. I have it all on my dashcam and will be presenting as evidence for any legal actions I will be taking. I suffer from extreme anxiety disorder and this, along with the constant harassment and the way Serena communicated with me, has aggravated my condition. I will be filing a complaint, especially after Serena’s extremely disrespectful way of talking down to me like I was a child, and after threatening to send me to collections for charges that I do not owe. I will be communicating with the corporate office as well. They really think they can bully people around, but this has to stop. I will be taking all avenues possible to stop the constant harassment i’m getting from them. ... Read more
