    The five stars is purely for KIM!! I don’t understand why after a few months Public Storage would increase my monthly storage fee by over $20.00. I tried called customer service repeatedly to find out why it increased. Ended up turning off the auto pay until I figured it out. When you call the automated service runs you in circles. It convey that a representative is available online or on the app. I couldn’t find where neither online or the app. It wanted me to call the location which I did, but no one was in office , and I knew from the sign o. The door they wouldn’t be in the next day either. I had no way to find out what was going on. Kim in the office was the utmost helpful! She referenced an email notification that was supposedly sent Nov 23. But, I searched my email, including all mail I received from public storage, and the rental increase notice was not there. She was able to submit an application after I made the increased payment, as it was due being the 2nd, to decrease the amount. Which was successful and I appreciate immensely. Any time I’ve went in and spoken with her, she made things so much easier and exhausts all possibilities to be of help. And time I’ve called customer service, I’m never properly taken care of. ...

    Property manager was extremely helpful but most importantly showed great care and was kind in that help. Often times when interacting with others, while it is their job to assist, they give you attitude and don’t seem to really want to help. Kim however was the complete opposite and did much more than what is expected in her role in sure! ... Read more

    They increased our rent from $73 to $122 without notice and when I tried to talk to their customer service about why we are paying that much for a 5x10 when there is a 10x10 listed for only $66 a month they said that their rent will always go up even if other units around it are a different price. They said they do not negotiate or price match their rentals and that the only way we could get that price is to cancel the contract with that rental and do a new one. This is very bad customer service if you ask me and definitely shows they are just out to get all the money they can scam out of people. They did try to offer me a discounted rate of only $98 a month but I've heard from other sources that the email they are supposed to send with all the details never come. I guess we will se but we probably are going to be moving storage units ... Read more
