    Do NOT rent space here. Unsafe units, and extremely poor customer service. The interior unit walls are constructed with plywood - easy for people to break through, which is what happened to me on sometime at the end of February, resulting in about $6800 worth of belongings stolen. It was apparently discovered March 1 by the property manager, who then placed a new padlock on my unit, and did not notify me at that time. A covering property manager notified me the next day, by leaving a very non-urgent voicemail "in regards to my storage unit". I had not received the call, but fortunately had been going to the unit that same day when I discovered the padlock had been placed. Unfortunately, I learned it was due to theft of my unit, and to about 4-5 other units surrounding me. I was then left to call the police myself, as the police had not been called by any property manager when they discovered the burglary. Following this distressing situation, I was never: 1. Offered a new unit after the incident (although very little belongings remained, mostly all empty boxes or laundry baskets). 2. Never called by the actual property manager to speak about the incident, never offered an apology, etc... despite calling a few times to get information / ask questions about next steps, what happened, etc. 3. Never offered to have the unit walls fixed!!!! The walls were literally broken down/opened, and the covering property manager said "you'll have to follow up with the regular property manager this week about fixing the walls" ..... Another renter went to Home Depot to get screws/nails/etc. and his own power tools that day to fix the unit walls from being accessible to others. 4. The door codes were never changed after this incident, despite me and other renters asking, because apparently "they don't have access, their gate codes were taken away" .... In the days following the incident, I called the property multiple times to get information from someone, anyone.... I only received one call back, from yet another "covering" property manager. When I asked to get last names of the property manager or any of the covering property managers, so that I could know who I was speaking too and maybe reference them in later conversation, I was told "I'm not able to give out that information" ..... ??? And GOOD LUCK getting ANYWHERE with their automated phone line - there's no options for or direct way to call customer service, higher ups, etc etc. You. have to go through sales to just to speak to a human, and then ask to be transferred. The phone system is a nightmare in itself. When I called later in the month to inquire about a refund for just the month of March, due to having practically NOTHING in my storage unit, I was met with uncooperative and hostile employees who stated "refunds are not available, because you still occupied the space" .... Overall, this situation has been a nightmare. This company and its employees clearly do not care about you or your belongings. They clearly just want your money. Please safe yourself the headache, the trouble, and your money. Rent ELSEWHERE. ... Read more

    Don't trust your keepsakes here! My unit was one of 5 to be broken into!! I had an indoor unit thinking it would be safer. I was very wrong! The walls are thin plywood stapled together. People were able to bust through the walls and my husband had to spend time and money patching up the hole for us and other tenants. Money doesn't replace everything. Considering the rent price our belongings should be safe. The management wouldn't even face us. They hid the entire time. The general manager called me the following Monday and was only concerned about the fact I gave a 1 star review AND ASKED ME TO CHANGE IT. They haven't even paid us back for the materials we had to buy to patch up the holes for not only our unit but others units as well! DO NOT TRUST PUBLIC STORAGE WITH ANYTHING YOU DONT WANT TO LOSE!!! ... Read more

    Moved to salem in September of 23 we found this location and the price was a great price at 135. After 7 months they increased the price to 175 which felt unfair considering that wasent the agreement we made but oh well. But then my ex lost her job fell behind a month and I took over payments paying 200 for the late fee becuase I'm on ssi for disability but paid 6 months of that...my ex tried to make a payment plan since it was in her name but were unwilling to do anything to help and since we were behind a month already could get our stuff out which had my father's inheritance belongings my ex grandmother's belongings things that can't be replaced and auctioned it off for 250 bucks. If your looking for a storage that keeps to it's price and is willing to help you out when in time of struggling this is not the place to go. Had we known they would change pricing for a leaking storage and had no family values we never would have gone with them. Very unhappy. ... Read more
