    I never rented a storage unit before. Kate walked me through the process over the phone. My car was already filled & I needed somewhere to put it all. She was able to set me up on the spot, lock & all. Easy & quick. ... Read more

    If you don't mind that the security gate hasn't worked in three months or no power in your storage building for the same three months then rent here. I don't like to leave negative reviews, but this is necessary. I have called numerous times to let them know that the gate was not working and that there was no electricity in building"K". I had to have a flashlight to see inside my unit. Every time I called, I was told that they would send someone out. They never did fix the issues. Finally moved out last week. Very poor customer service. ... Read more

    AA storage posted a public add to rent an office space in the storage facility in Elyria. The add marketed access to two restrooms. Turns out they rented this place out knowing it can have no access to runner water even in the renters name. They reported the manager experienced medical emergencies for each scheduled appointment. In good faith I have been patient and waiting to resolve this issue. I was told to use the bathroom at KFC located nearby like previous tenants. The office was disgusting upon entering. Nothing was cleaned out. They seem to have very little interest to mend and resolve the issue. Shadia appears friendly and helpful but apparently implied it's above her. Later, I contacted an owner that goes by Amy who admitted to being Shadia then changed and said they were not. With AA storage I experienced frustration along with an utter disregard and loss of my time, money and resources. It impacted my buissness pursuits. I would not recommend doing buissness with this company they don't seem to care to resolve issues as they arise, show, nor show transparency or accountability. The times I was there the gate codes weren't working properly for individuals renting storage units. My initial code didn't work and they had to give me another. Some got stuck and others had to use their codes to help them get out. There seems to be some sort of disruption in their internal communication. They asked for me to take the post down because they are going to refund my money. They sent a screen shot of refund. When I checked my account zero money has been refunded. Even days later. I was out of $$$ and out of the office $$$ I rented. The situation is compromised the livelihood of my family! Update: After much frustration and contacting the bank in a 3 way call ....the bank reminded AA storage that they never released the hold yet said and sent me screenshots saying my money was refunded. After wasting my time AA with back and forth AA finally released the hold on my reimbursement. I received my money back. I waited two weeks. I even requested to meet with an alternate person who could problem solve. They did not provide anyone. They wanted me to continue the rental office space with no access to running water. I wanted nothing but the services they initially agreed to provide and for them to uphold their own contract terms. They created a contract they themselves were not able to follow through on. I even asked for the names of the managers I was supposedly scheduled to meet with or the individuals accountable for the property. No name were provided at all. AA storage took absolutely no accountability for the issues they created. They even re-posted the office for rent while waiting for me to finish moving all while knowing it still has no accesd to running water available. They have no shame for creating this issue for another person. After we agreed via text message that I would leave by the original date on the initial monthly contract they texted several days in a row attempting to have me leave and saying were checking because the entry code would be disabled. They had different staff contact that never read notes on the account. AA storage gets a number 5 for gas lighting me. Even companies make mistakes we are all human. I only expected AA storage to own and fix their issues. They are 100 percent aware the office can not have water access and that it FLOODS! Now AA storage is doing it again. Shame on you! The money I received was not anywhere near the hassle this company caused! If anyone wants proof since they are claiming this is not true message me I will screenshot every text messages and glady share! A-Affordable (Oaktree investments) a nationwide company unable to provide one single manager to handle this. Their responses imply they feel they did me some sort of favor. ... Read more

    It was easy to rent the unit. Anytime I had a question, she was able to help me and if I had to leave a message because it was after hours, she returned my call promptly the next morning. Closing out was quick also. ... Read more

    Initially I worked with Shadia. She was always so polite and helpful and took her time. And answered every single question I had. Then I dealt with Linda and she also provided this same level of customer service. Today excellent customer service is very hard to come by. I’m so I’m impressed that a storage unit takes this much care to have capable and solicitous staff. I would HIGHLY recommend A-Affordable Self Storage. Kathy ... Read more
