Incredibly predatory storage rate increases. I had a unit for 1 year and they started ~40% increases in rent EVERY 6 MONTHS when I hit having my storage unit for 1 year. 2 years in for a 10x10 they are charging $280 a month for a 10x10 that was originally a little under $100 eith the teaser rate. Attempts to negotiate with them were met with a whole bunch of fake I understand how you feel this is what the policy is ect despite an identical 10x10 having a teaser rate of $90 on their website. If you are planning on renting more than 6 months avoid public storage like the plague. There is a reason they sre worth 53 billion as a company. Included is a picture of the rate increases you will get every 6 months if you use this company. Also despite having the obvious capability, they charge an extra $30 for you to access the storage unit at 9pm despite obviously being able to offer it for everyone at no extea charge. Attached is a screenshot showing that any my previous rate before they jack it up Lastly I am guessing certain modt of the reviews for this place are falsified. I have had a unit for 2 years and haven't never seen a public storage employee. This is a storage facility not a customer service desk yet every review mentions an employee who helped them out with something. Very fishy ... Read more

First, when I didn’t understand why I was being charged for a lock at the end of the online arrangement, I went in the store. The lady was nice enough and explained about the lock and if I had my own, they would adjust my account and I asked about the insurance. I asked her to complete my transaction b/c I couldn’t pull it up correctly on my phone in the store. When she got to the end, she said she needed a physical credit card to complete and when I didn’t have it she said have a nice day… it was my friend who said can you still complete it from when you did it on line and I was able to complete it. Then I get to the storage and I literally was given the worse storage unit. I am a single female and was given an end unit too far into the storage and to me not conducive to the safety of a single female. Then the unit inside has like a separation b/t the wall and unit just thinking anything could crawl into the unit!! And lastly they had to force someone’s lock off the unit and where you put the lock is all bent out of shape and the new lock kinda has to be pushed to get it in. This alone would not have bothered me but everything together makes this not my best experience with this place. This is my experience which I am not very happy about!!! ... Read more
Valencia O. - 6 April 2025
Signing up with Cynthia was such a pleasure. She took us around, showed us how everything worked and got us the unit we were looking for. A seamless transaction. She explained everything so well. Can't say enough good things about Cynthia! My only feedback regarding the storage facility is that they need to have more carts to move your stuff. We of course, have to come on the weekend and there just aren't enough carts. We waiting for quite a while, 45 minutes, we one to be available. Please consider having more available and possibly a sign up for other users to return as soon as they are done so others can use them. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Public Storage - 120 McKinley Street has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment. Most of these amenities can prove to be very useful depending on what you need to store. For example, climate-controlled units can come in handy for keeping sensitive items, drive-up access can make your loading and unloading process easier, and extra security measures will ensure your items are kept safe at all times.

The unit size that you should choose obviously depends on how much stuff you need to store. On the one hand, you should think of smaller units (5'x5' or 5'x10') as closets – they can be used to store chairs, lamps, moving boxes and sports equipment, along with smaller pieces of furniture, books and documents.

On the other hand, the 10'x10' and 10'x15' spaces are good for storing larger items of furniture, bicycles and a larger number of possessions. If you need even more space, then 10'x20' and 10'x30' units can easily accommodate the contents of an entire 3- or 4-bedroom house.

We know that when it comes to self storage, there is nothing more important than quickness and accessibility. Drive-up access is an extremely convenient amenity, as you can park your vehicle right next to your unit, making it significantly easier to load and unload the items you will use storage for. However, drive-up storage units tend to be outdoors, so you might consider indoor storage spaces with climate control if you're looking to keep temperature-sensitive items in peak condition.

Yes, you might, depending on what you need to put in storage. Climate-controlled spaces keep temperatures and humidity levels consistent all the time, which means they are perfect for storing sensitive items. Seeing that a whole host of things can be damaged by varying temperatures and excessive moisture, many people choose to rent climate-controlled units for personal items such as documents, photographs, paintings, collectibles, electronics, wooden furniture, antiques and even vehicles. If you're looking to store such items that are valuable to you, consider renting a climate-controlled unit!
