    Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

    I’ve had a really good experience with First Stop Storage in Columbus, MS. The manager, Madeline Johnson, is professional, helpful, and easy to work with. She made the whole process simple and answered all my questions without any hassle. I rented a 10x10 climate-controlled unit, and the pricing ranged from about $130–$170, which I found reasonable for the quality and security provided. The climate control is a big plus, especially with Mississippi heat — it definitely gives peace of mind knowing my belongings are protected. The facility is clean, secure, and well-maintained. I would definitely recommend First Stop Storage to anyone in the Columbus area looking for reliable storage with great customer service. ... Read more

    I belong to a 501C3 charitable organization. Our members are researching storage facility prices as the one we currently have is overpriced. We met with Angela at the Kinnear Public Storage. She was very nice, patient, and informative. It is refreshing to have such good customer service. ... Read more

    We rent a unit for our OSU freshman to have a car in Columbus. A short walk to Lincoln Tower & it has saved us a lot of long days in the car taking him back & forth! It has been secure & safe. Pricing is reasonable for Columbus plus they offered a free month at the beginning of our rental. I’ve spoke multiple times to Robert and he’s been great! Super friendly and always on top of everything happing at the facility. Highly recommend for anyone looking for storage options in Columbus near campus. ... Read more

    The manager tricked me into a contract when I tried to reserve it. I asked him if I can cancel anytime before my move in date and he told me I can just get my money refunded if I do it before my move in date. PLEASE BE AWARE THE ADMIN FEE $29 IS NON REFUNDABLE EVEN WHEN YOU CANCEL IT BEFORE YOUR MOVE IN DATE. Don’t let them get you into the contract before making sure you got the date right. I worked with other companies and they don’t even ask for my credit card when I tried to reserve a storage ... Read more

    DO NOT STORE HERE. I signed a lease for 123$ a month in December 2023 and by December 2024 my rent was 249$ a month for a 10x10. No additions or anything was done to improve the property and there's often homeless people sleeping there which did not make me feel secure for my items. The app didn't work for me to make payments or let me in the gate 90% of the time I was there, there's never anyone on property to help you if you can't get the gate to work or help you with anything. When I finally got sick of the app not working and started going in to pay the person at the desk gave me major attitude over it. It's just simply not worth storing here. There's now cars and vans parked along a fence making it hard to leave through that side. They can't even keep their information straight, when I turned in my keys, the lady didn't know that the lock was actually mine (learned later by a manager trying to collect money from me) and clearly had no idea what to do when a tennet vacated. ...

    Public storage doesn’t allow prorated rents. I either have to pay full month rent or get my account sent to collections for moving out on the 3rd of the month. The location management is great tho. This has nothing to do with them. This is an in general review of public storage as a company. ... Read more
