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

    After renting a 10x10 unit online when I got there to retrieve the key nobody was working, there was broken glass all over the driveway, and once I gained access to the unit it was dirty with was a wasp nest inside it. Then after only having the account for 5 months I got an email saying there would be a 40% price increase. Would not recommend! ... Read more

    UPDATED Again: Caprice was very helpful with questions I had about moving some stuff out — thank you!! UPDATED REVIEW: (3-Stars) District manager reached out after I posted review and did what he could to make this right, which I appreciated. I did go back and viewed my payment history, and over the last 12 months my storage payments had increased by 85%, nearly double, so I'm not crazy! I hope this review encourages PS to be forthright and transparent with new customers about likely rate increases and reminds potential customers about the importance of entering any contract with your eyes wide open. ORIGINAL REVIEW: (1-Star) I don’t post a lot of reviews but the way this place has raised my rates (2 units) over the last year should be criminal. They will give you a great price at first — but don’t believe it! A couple months after you get your stuff moved into the unit they will start raising your rate. It won’t take long before you’ll have spent more on storage rental than your furniture or whatever is worth. Plus these units don’t keep out bugs, rodents, or all the tree pollen in the spring. I suspect they know it’s a huge pain to move your stuff out of storage and they quickly take advantage of the situation. Better to simply sell your stuff or even give it away. At a minimum require management give you a written guarantee not to raise your rate. If you sign up online like I did you are totally powerless and will regret it. ... Read more

    Although the people who work at this storage facility are nice and helpful, the road to the units is not well maintained. On a fairly warm January day two weeks ago, my husband and I removed a few items. It had snowed earlier in the week and nothing had been plowed. The entrance to where our unit was located had a leak from the gutter, forming ice upon which my husband fell. Two weeks later and he still has pain. A little salt, a little care would have helped a lot. I did complain but no one expressed a bit of concern. Given the monthly fee, it would seem to be a good idea to keep up the property. I would not recommend this storage facility. ... Read more

    My father used this Public Storage for years before we moved him into a supportive living facility. Very grateful to Caprice for making the process of emptying out his rental space during this challenging time of transition easier! Thank you so much! ... Read more
