Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage at 840 Cottman Avenue, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I rented a space online, because that is how you get the best deals, but when I went to see my space, I had to enter my code to get through the gate, to get in the building, and to activate the elevator. They do not have carts or dollies to assist. I knew this arrangement would not work, so I spoke with the property manager, a floater, Shana. She informed me that even though I paid for the space a day before, and never touched the seal, all transactions are final, and I could not get a refund. I realized I did want a space, but at a different location. Shana went above and beyond to help me transfer to another location. She even spoke with a regional manager, who helped make the transfer happen too. The 5 stars is for her, because I was not happy before that. The facility is clean, but it wasn't a fit for me. ...

jose v. - 18 September 2025
So the first encounter I had with the property manager. "Odyssey" was brutal from the beginning. Very rude. So I had an issue with a payment and I had fixed it and for some reason there was a lock on my unit for 3 days until after I fixed the payment and they were too lazy to take off the lock I had even called into customer service and told them I was going to remove it myself. So now about 2 weeks after I pay up until December and am told I owe a balance and to come out of my unit. So I dont know how thats possible but I believe I may be getting charged for the lock. Ok. Fine but the disrespectful attitude, the indirect comments, the unprofessionalism makes me wonder how they vet the people that work here. They act like slum lords. I would never. Ever ever recommend this place to anyone. Infact runaway while u can!!!!! ... Read more

Marilyn L. - 25 March 2025
There was a lot of confusion about the space we were trying to rent at first when i was booking online, but the clerk at the front desk, Cynthia, got everything straightened out for us. She went above and beyond to get us a good space that would accommodate all of our needs. She worked diligently and partially through her break to make sure we was satisfied before we left. If it wasn't for her, we was definitely getting ready to choose another storage company. Thank you Cynthia for your dedication, patience, and your professionalism. It's hard to find that nowadays in the customer service field. ... Read more

These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Elevators, First Floor Access, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment. Most of these amenities can prove to be very useful depending on what you need to store. For example, climate-controlled units can come in handy for keeping sensitive items, drive-up access can make your loading and unloading process easier, and extra security measures will ensure your items are kept safe at all times.

The storage units offered by Public Storage - 840 Cottman Avenue can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 to 320 square feet. You can go for smaller units if you don't have a lot of items to store, while choosing a larger space is recommended in case you need to store a lot of furniture, bigger items or even vehicles.

The unit size that you should choose obviously depends on how much stuff you need to store. On the one hand, you should think of smaller units (5'x5' or 5'x10') as closets – they can be used to store chairs, lamps, moving boxes and sports equipment, along with smaller pieces of furniture, books and documents.

On the other hand, the 10'x10' and 10'x15' spaces are good for storing larger items of furniture, bicycles and a larger number of possessions. If you need even more space, then 10'x20' and 10'x30' units can easily accommodate the contents of an entire 3- or 4-bedroom house.

Storage units offered by Public Storage - 840 Cottman Avenue come at a variety of prices, starting from $10 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $214 a month.

We know that when it comes to self storage, there is nothing more important than quickness and accessibility. Drive-up access is an extremely convenient amenity, as you can park your vehicle right next to your unit, making it significantly easier to load and unload the items you will use storage for. However, drive-up storage units tend to be outdoors, so you might consider indoor storage spaces with climate control if you're looking to keep temperature-sensitive items in peak condition.

Yes, you might, depending on what you need to put in storage. Climate-controlled spaces keep temperatures and humidity levels consistent all the time, which means they are perfect for storing sensitive items. Seeing that a whole host of things can be damaged by varying temperatures and excessive moisture, many people choose to rent climate-controlled units for personal items such as documents, photographs, paintings, collectibles, electronics, wooden furniture, antiques and even vehicles. If you're looking to store such items that are valuable to you, consider renting a climate-controlled unit!
