    DO NOT RENT FROM THIS PLACE!!! All the reviews mention the manager being so great and all I believed the same at first until time began to pass. Increased rents within 6 months - I went from paying $122/mo (2024) to $338/mo (2026) for a 10 X 10 unit. Over double the price in 2 years!!! I recently moved all of my belongings out of this place and had to trash most of everything because of rat droppings and piss EVERYWHERE!! All of my kids' mattresses, frames, our dining table, car seats, tv stand, stuffed animals were all ruined within the last year. Even if you wrap everything and vacuum seal your stuff, the rats will chew through it!! The only thing Brenda (manager) could tell me was to go through Orange Door (insurance) and file a claim - which is only a maximum of $250. She also mentioned the reason this facility has a rat problem is due to the surrounding units having food that attract the rodents to the units. How are you aware of this problem and you aren't doing anything to resolve it for current and future renters?? Definitely looking into filing a lawsuit. This is a disgusting place, managed by someone who can care less about your belongings! I'm warning anyone reading this post - I would not recommend!! ... Read more

    I met with Brenda when I was in need of a storage unit. I was desperate and needed help fast. I explained my situation and she was right on the ball with helping and went above and beyond her scope required. Was very respectful and knowledgeable in handling my situation and. She is a true professional and is a big asset for the company. Totally awesome! She's a keeper! ... Read more

    I'd rate this place a 0 star if I could. After suffering a major heart attack, losing my job, needing to sell my house, I put what was left of my shattered life into this storage facility until I could get my life back on track. I went to get something out of my unit and found rat droppings covered my things. This was after I had received an email notifying my storage rental rate was being increased by $60/mo, on top of some increase that they implemented by $20 a few months earlier. Don't trust this company. You pay the company to rent space in a maintained facility. Instead, you get rat droppings, and rent increases to ruin what's precious to you. Obviously, I'll be moving my not destroyed belongs out of Public Storage. Don't let this happen to you! Don't rent a storage space from this facility. Keep your belongings safe and your wallet protected. ... Read more

    We chose this storage place due to its easy accessibility. You can easily get a semi-truck with a 53ft trailer in and out, no problem. The storage units are clean, the office is well kept, and the staff are great. But Brenda is the special sauce that keeps the place running. I had a small issue with my unit door, one quick call and no more than 5 minutes later she's out there helping out. Thank you for being such a professional. ... Read more

    I have to say, I was not looking forward to cleaning out my mom’s storage which was over 15 years old. It was such an emotional experience and thankfully we had Brenda there to help us with everything. Her kindness alone made our day so much easier. She also helped us with everything we needed and more!!!!! Thank you again Brenda for all your help, I highly recommend this location!! ... Read more
