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

    honestly the whole vibe was ruined from the start because the check in person was on their phone the entire time im just standing there waiting. the water pressure in the shower was shockingly good though like way better than i expecred which honestly made up for a little of the hassle. price is a bit high for what it is but the place is clean and the steam room works great... staff seemed mostly helpful after they finaly looked up from thier screens. id probably book again but i’d bring my own music next time. ...

    I have had an excellent experience with Extra Space Storage on Melrose in Vista. The facility is always clean, well-maintained, and secure, which gives me peace of mind knowing my belongings are safe. What really sets this location apart is the outstanding customer service. The staff are consistently friendly, professional, and helpful. Sandy, in particular, goes above and beyond to make every interaction pleasant and stress-free. She is knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely cares about providing great service. It’s refreshing to find a storage facility that is both exceptionally clean and staffed by people who truly value their customers. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a safe, reliable, and professionally managed storage facility. ... Read more

    Sandy, please get a new job or find someone that's better at customer service. You're unfriendly. Difficult. You refuse to do your job. Do better, Sandy. No one wants to work with soemone who can't warmly welcome a new customer into the business. You're a poor representation of the company you work for. They should replace you with someone that would give customers a warm and welcoming experience. Make sure you kiss up to Sandy. Otherwise she'll refuse to do her job and ask you to find another storage business. ... Read more

    I've have storage bins at this location for over 20 years and I've always been treated with respect, kindness and sincere appreciation. The facility itself is clean and extremely well maintained. If ever there was an "issue" it was always addressed immediately and to my satisfaction. Both Tammy and Uzie are wonderful. They go out of their way to help and follow through until the request is completed. I'd highly recommend this facility over all others. You'll know everything stored is safe and that you'll be treated very well. 5 stars easily. ... Read more

    I have used extra space storage twice now for storing my home goods, totaling seven years with them. These last two years at their Vista location on N Melrose Drive has been my best experience with them yet. Sandy the store manager has been very accommodating and easy to work with, she is a people person and will do everything she can to meet your needs while storing your goods at this location. The property is kept clean and neat and is gated, so you can be sure your goods will be safe. Sandy does an excellent job keeping this property presentable for all customers and I would definitely use this extra space storage location again if needed in the future because of her. ...

    This is my second time renting a space from Extra Space. I booked online both times and the process is extremely easy and quick. The most time I spent during the process was choosing the location of my space. I received a call the next day from the rental location going over the details and clarifying the move in procedure. She was friendly and helpful. Will probably always use this company if I ever need storage space down the road. ... Read more

    Hey, I’ve used ESS a few times in the last 7 years and have had a great experience. Clean all different sizes for your needs. The Manager Sandy at the N Melrose Dr, Vista is professional efficient and very pleasant. The Bonus for this year is they lowered their prices. This is so helpful when we are all having hardships and difficulty’s with the economy. We all have a story, so it’s good that Big companies are listening and accommodating. Thank You ... Read more

    Ms Sandy is awesome! She went through all the steps with us. She showed us the unit so we weren’t wondering around looking for it. She took the time to assist us on how to make the space work for what we needed. And it ended up being much more space than we needed, too much. So, we actually ended up with a smaller unit. She went step by step over the paperwork making sure we understood and took the time to answer our questions. Kristal was so sweet and helpful as well. She helped my husband with all of his questions too. The grounds are seemingly safe. They have an on site monitor at all times. The units have individual alarms as well. They have a gate with individual codes for access. The grounds and units are very clean. They do not allow storage of food, which is wonderful! Their prices are reasonable as well! We actually got our first month free!!! Do yourself a favor, skip the other storage places and go to ExtraSpace Storage! Skip the high prices and hassle! We did and couldn’t be happier! ... Read more
