    STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS! JUST FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE THESE PEOPLE ARE EXTORTIONISTS AT BEST! Over the course of the years we've had our unit they've raised the price from $50 to over $230 a month. When asked why they told us they're legally required to raise the price continuously, but when we complained they suddenly were able to knock the price down to only $150 instead. Then they immediately put a lien on the unit for being only a few days late and are threatening to auction everything thing off. Even though we've had issues before and they told us they wait a few months before they do that...not this time....this time it's an immediate lien and the payment has managed to magically get back to $200 again. They never answer their phones. The office is almost always empty. This place is predatory and will has taken advantage of my senior citizen mother for years, extorting more and more money out of her for a unit that is literally $100+ cheaper at every other self storage in the city. If I could give negative stars I would. This has literally been the worst experience my family has had with a storage company. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. THEY WILL ROB YOU BLIND AT THEIR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. ... Read more

    Ervin provided truly exceptional customer service. From the very beginning, he was attentive to my concerns and made sure every one of my questions was fully answered. During a stressful time, he helped me feel comfortable, supported, and much less overwhelmed. What stood out the most was that he had already listened to my voicemail and taken the time to research everything before returning my call. That level of care, preparation, and professionalism is rare and deeply appreciated. His thoughtful approach genuinely restored my faith in human service and customer care. Thank you so much, Ervin — you turned what started as a very difficult day into a much better one. Your kindness and dedication did not go unnoticed. ... Read more

    The experience i had with the rental office in akron ohio was by far the most effortless and comforting compassionate encounter I have had with any of my moving . Vanessa is with the one on brittain rd i believe and she made everything so comfortable and easy to understand. i had been a little weak that day due to my health issues and sometimes i forget to eat . i am so grateful for how Vanessa treated me and because of how they were with us - it was the beginning of an amazing experience moving that didnt start out quite so amazing . This office goes above and beyond and has proven to be a buisness centered around ethics and values. We are very grateful to get to have all the help and professionalism we get at every moving journey turn from public storage. They are by far the best! ... Read more

    I came from another Public Storage out on Britain Road it was a little to far for me this one on Waterloo Road is right up the street from me. I think this storage facility is wonderful. Its very clean and everybody is very helpful. What I think they need is a light inside the storage unit. Thank goodness I brought 2 flash lights because I went there when it was dark. I'm very happy. ... Read more

    *original review was five star because they are very nice when you are handing them money but whatever manager is there now is super super rude, I really don't want to deal with her ever again. Rob was great when I moved in several months ago, I had no issues whatsoever until this past week. I set up auto pay because I have way too much to deal with I just want it to pay and not think about it, however I guess my bank had flagged one of my out of town purchases and put a temporary hold on my card and in the time I was resolving that I guess the auto pay tried to come out. Needless to say it failed but what really made me decide to end my relationship with this company is the manager here at this location. When she called me she was extremely rude and I tried to explain and have her run it again since it was set up for auto pay she was rude and told me I had to go pay it again and reput in my card - okay fine but when I tried to explain what happened she said ...and I quote...yes this is a quote and I sure hope corporate records phone conversations, "well I sent you a link to go online and pay and when your card declined again I'll call you back" - insinuating that I was lying about the fraud issue and just didn't have money to pay for it...insulting and I'm not dealing with this anymore I'm moving to a new company. ...

    Rent from here and before you know it they keep rasing your rent. I loved it at first then it got so expensive. I love the lady in the front but hate how often they raise the price I started off at 110.00 a month to 235.00 a month now. ... Read more

    No Lock provided with the unit, called the office while at the unit during business hours and nobody answered. Put my own lock on for them to call and tell me one week later that No lock was on the unit. then to Find my lock cut off on the ground and one that I can't open now on the unit. Hopefully from them. Still can't get a hold of anyone from the office, for they only do business when it is convenient for them. Don't store anything valuable here. I still have no way of knowing if my things are still in the unit or if it was broken into. - Update: The Unit was Broken into at the time of originally posting this. It has now only been 3 months since then, and my unit has been Burglarized for a SECOND TIME! If your belongings are important to you DON'T PUT THEM HERE! ... Read more

    All my items were safe and still in tack upon move out! I used storage space for a little less than a year with no problems. Even retrieved a call when I accidentally left my lock unlocked, so they are regularly inspected and checked by staff. Lastly, this company is significantly cheaper (50%) than the previous companies I’ve used. Thanks! ... Read more

    Rob was awesome! I needed part time storage for a move and he was friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. The prices are perfect and location is great, right off the freeway near Akron. I love the auto pay and the app and now we can use the app to open the gate instead of leaning out the window. Highly recommend. ... Read more

    I came in as a walk-in, Stephanie helped me every step of the way and even found a better unit size than what I originally came in for. The process to get set up was easy and was made even simpler after having her help. She even took me to see the 3 unit sizes I was debating and I’m glad she did! 10/10 would recommend! ... Read more
