If you’re considering Emigrant Storage on Evans Ave in Reno — especially if you’re part of the Burning Man community — do yourself a massive favor and steer clear. While the facility is mediocre and the prices aren’t anything special, it’s the absolutely atrocious customer service that makes this place a hard no. Bob and Debbie, the front-facing staff (if you can even call them that), are two of the most unpleasant and unprofessional people I’ve ever had to deal with in any business — let alone one that relies on customers to function. Bob is condescending, rude, and seems to think every question or request is a personal inconvenience. He talks down to people, offers no help, and acts like his job is to make your experience as difficult as possible. Debbie isn’t any better — cold, passive-aggressive, and astonishingly unhelpful. She cuts people off, doesn’t listen, and gives the distinct impression that you’re wasting her time just by existing. To make matters worse, they are not friendly — in fact, they are outright hostile — toward the Burning Man community. If you’re a Burner looking for a place to store gear or supplies, this is not a welcoming or supportive space. They act irritated at the mere mention of Burning Man, as if Burners are beneath them or a nuisance they barely tolerate. It’s disappointing, considering how much the event contributes to the Reno economy every year. The billing system is disorganized, the communication is terrible, and any attempt to resolve issues is met with attitude and resistance. This isn’t just bad service — it’s aggressively bad. Bottom line: Avoid Emigrant Storage at all costs. Especially if you’re associated with Burning Man. Bob and Debbie are a disaster, and the entire experience feels like you’re being punished for being a paying customer. ... Read more

Highly recommend this place for your storage needs. Office staff has always been friendly, and go over and above to help you. Maintenance guy is always nice and helpful, too. I've had my stuff there for about 7 or 8 years, and never had any problems. Easy to work with and it was nice to know my stuff was safe and secure. Just a tip: If you have an upstairs unit, you'll need to be sure to note the service hours in order to utilize the forklift service for getting your stuff up or down, if you don't want to carry it on the stairs. ...

My daughter stored all of her belongings here from UNR over the summer. The place is very clean and well maintained and the employees are amazing! They are very friendly, accommodating, and are quick to help. Excellent customer service! ... Read more

Very accommodating staff and management, they really went out of their way to help facilitate movers when I was in another state. Always very responsive by phone or email. This is not a generic nationally owned storage unit that is impersonal or hard to reach, they are also most reasonable in the fees compared to others in the area, near UNR campus, very clean and friendly. Highly recommend. ... Read more

I actually really loved the time that I was at this storage facility. The people are genuine and friendly. I appreciate that above all, but the place is nice and affordable as well. I didn't really shop around and chose the place on accident, but I'm happy I did. If you end up with an upstairs unit, they've got a forklift for use during office hours. I have pictures somewhere on my phone, but I figured I'd write the review before I forgot to. ?? ... Read more

Rude, unprofessional & unreliable. Reserved online. Posted office hours 9-5pm showed up at 4:20 pm and the office said "sorry we dont take new registers after 4:15". I had my car full of stuff. Drove from Vegas and was turned away! I begged pleeeaase. Nope. She said she has to leave by 5 and had things to do before. ****THEN YOU SHOULD STATE OFFICE HOURS 9 - 4 :15**** Thankfully there was a Public Storage across the street. I went there, super nice. Clean & great price. I recommend going there instead. ... Read more
