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

    Not recommended: I called their 800 number, was given a quote. Moved on it over the phone with credit card, only to find out it was more than doubled what they quoted me. Didn't event move my things in! Why would I want to continue to do business with a company whose representatives lied to me? Priscilla was great! ... Read more

    Public storage at this location is the best. The people who work there take better care of my items then I do. I accidentally left my storage unlocked and they put a lock on it so my stuff wouldn't get stolen. Thank you so much! ... Read more

    We have stored here since 11/2025 and couldn't be happier. It's clean and very well surveiled for protection. The added bonus are the staff. Prescilla and Lauren are phenomenal at meeting all of our needs and if they left we would consider relocating. It's hard to find good, honest, kind hardworking staff and they are why we chose this location. Thank you ladies!!!! ... Read more

    I had a very bad experience with this location. I completed the online eRental with the Memorial Day discount option for move-in on Sunday 06/01, the day that I was scheduled to move out of my apartment. I received an email from Public Storage that my unit was ready, with the unit number and gate codes in the email. However, upon arriving at the location, I found my unit with a lock on the door and absolutely no way to access it. It took several tries to different numbers to reach someone, and when I did talk to them, they told me that there was a "system error" that was signing people up for units that were not available and the only option was to transfer me to a different unit, which would NOT be discounted and would require an additional lock deposit. There were clearly other empty units available, but they told me that the only thing they could do for me was transfer me to another unit where I would have to pay the full price-- clearly a scam. They labeled it as a unit transfer when I had never accessed this assigned unit and it looked like someone else already had their stuff in my assigned unit. Not to mention, I had rented a U-Haul and was moving heavy furniture and only had a few hours to make the move into this storage unit. Public Storage refused to work with me at all, even though this was a mistake that they acknowledged was THEIR fault, and instead they tried to charge me an additional $100 and raise my monthly rate that was previously agreed upon via a signed contract. After speaking with multiple people, I canceled my unit and was supposed to be refunded the amount I paid-- I was not. They charged my card anyway. After this experience I have lost all trust in Public Storage. Their mess-up and subsequent refusal to fix their mistake ended up costing me and additional $250 in moving fees. Do not use this location if you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy service. ... Read more

    This location is amazing!!! And Jenny, the person that works there is even more amazing. I had hopped back into town after an 11 month hiatus to get my car back, and clean up my storage unit. And my worst nightmare came true, as my car wouldn't start. I use the remote, I try to start my car, and it wouldn't start, and top it all off I had a flat tire caused by it being trapped in their for months. I was hesitant at first, but I ended up going to Jenny and letting her know my situation in hopes that she could help somehow, by connecting me to leads for tow truck drivers or a local mechanic who could come in person to service my car. She eventually came across a gentlemen, who happened to be a mechanic by profession, who was looking for a storage unit and saw my car as he was passing by. Jenny told him my situation and he immediately came to help. He somehow managed to help me pop open my hood, jump start my battery, and he even pumped air into flat tire faster than anyone I've seen. I can't thank them enough, as they saved me a lot of time and trouble. I had also spoken to another woman named Lauren, I believe, who was kind enough to leave me a review as I was a professional math tutor, after she was blown away by my friendliness. I'm glad I finally got to it hahaha!!! This location is also safer compared to other locations, as everything in my storage was still intact. I would definitely consider this location for my storage needs again in the future!! ... Read more

    Although I don't have a space here. I was taken care of by Lauren when I had some unit rental issues at another location. This location seems well maintained, and you're sure to be well taken care of with Lauren in the front. ... Read more

    we want to move out because Pricilla is very hostile. we had an interaction with her a few months ago where we were in the wrong. we apologized and have corrected our misunderstanding, we don’t do what we were doing anymore because we want to respect their rules. well Pricilla came out today making all kinds of accusation. we try to calmly explain the situation to her (it was someone else doing what we used to do) but she would not listen. She was also accusing us of things we absolutely never did. she is so unfriendly and frustrating and I avoid going to my unit just so I don't see her ... Read more
