    Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage, 109 SE Alder Street, Portland, OR 97214, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

    I got a call saying my locker was broken into and the worker said they don’t even have cameras facing that hallway. So for FOUR DAYS my locker was open, and no one secured it during that time? I pay $200 a month for this?? And without cameras they can’t tell what was stolen or who stole it! My whole life is in there, I’m across the country, and I pay almost $200 a month. Four years ago they charged $64, but service and security have NOT improved, just their greed and income has increased. I pay 1/4 of my paltry disability income to keep my life there safe, BUT THEY DON’T KEEP MY THINGS SAFE, which is the only job they have, and they can’t even do that. What a pitiful and shameful place. They didn’t even give me a free month for this, and they can’t even pull up footage because they are too cheap to get adequate security and cameras. YOUR THINGS ARE NOT SAFE HERE! Save your money!! I and they don’t even know what was stolen. They did not even notice for FOUR DAYS that my lock was OPEN! That is horrible quality control, and they don’t even have cameras in that hallway! So they need to “escalate” the matter to see if they even have any video footage available at all of who broke into my unit what was stolen. And whatever was stolen is definitely long gone, because it’s FOUR DAYS LATER and their apparently useless employees didn’t even notice that my unit was robbed! Save your money; your things are not safe here!!! ... Read more

    Considering the prices, I wasn't expecting much. I can happy say I was very pleasantly surprised. The online process was easy, my first check-in was great and Deonte made sure I had what I needed to get things into my unit and on my way. Extra points that the building is really tidy! Thats very unusual for storage. ... Read more

    Very happy I found this place! I needed to store some work materials for my business trips in Portland and this place was close by to my hotel and prices were totally reasonable. Deonte was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to help me when I had a time crunch to get to the airport. Thank you, Deonte! ... Read more

    I moved in less than a month ago, and my unit has already been broken into. I suspect someone was observing my belongings during the move-in process. At this facility, visitors are required to sign in on a publicly visible sheet, listing their unit number, name, and check-in/check-out times—an easy way for anyone to identify potential targets. While I initially saw this as a safety measure, I quickly noticed that many individuals entered the building without signing in, some even carrying groceries, which raised concerns. Without getting into too much detail, the hardware securing my unit was completely sawed off, my belongings were tossed around, and I suffered losses that exceed what insurance is likely to cover—if they cover anything at all. If you're looking for a secure storage facility, I highly recommend choosing one with a keypad entry system for the elevator or front door. As for me, I'll be moving out whatever remains of my belongings as soon as I navigate the insurance process. ... Read more

    I have to be honest my experience is here we're not always wonderful with your employees but ever since Izzy has been employed here things have been a 100 percent better. She always gets done Wat she says she's gonna do and I feel much more secure having my important belongings here and actually feel like there safe for once. She always checks everything before she goes and jus does her job. Amazing,that lady is.?? ... Read more

    Do not store here unless you want your items stolen!!!!!!!!!! Our storage unit was professionally packed in May, and we returned in August to check on our unit. Upon opening our unit, we immediately realized our unit had been ransacked and nearly every box had been opened. We immediately notified the front office staff who told us to reach out to the insurance company and file a claim. We filed a police report and insurance report that same day. We had photo and video evidence of how the intruder(s) got into our unit and before/after photos/videos of the unit. Numerous items were stolen and broken, which we documented in the police reports. Despite all the evidence, the insurance company has continuously denied any fault and refuses to pay us out the measly $2k. The storage unit staff were unhelpful to us and the insurance company and admitted that the only security cameras in the building point towards the elevator and not down the hallway of the storage unit. There is no one watching the front desk sign-in sheet, so there is no accountability from the storage unit staff or insurance company. Also worth mentioning, the building reeks of rat poison, and the units are not cleaned before they rent them out. You’re essentially paying for zero security and guaranteed theft. ... Read more
