I've been a customer at Ideal Self Storage on LaSalle in Waco for well over 10 years, and I can't recommend them highly enough! The facility is always clean, secure, and well-maintained, and the location is perfect—right off the Circle near Trujillo's Restaurant, making it incredibly convenient. What really sets Ideal Self Storage apart is the customer service. Every employee I've worked with has been friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. On the rare occasion that an issue came up, they handled it quickly, fairly, and without any hassle, including processing refunds when appropriate. After more than a decade of trusting them with my belongings, I can honestly say they've earned my loyalty.

I had a friend that rented out a storage unit here and some things were stolen from her storage unit. They seem to have no privacy from the maintenance man for their customers. The cops were called and they didn’t do anything about it. I feel as if they go into these storage units stealing from their customers. Asked to speak to corporate or provide a number they acted like they didn’t want to give it out. She was just brushed off as okay “your things were stolen so what” and felt helpless. I do not recommend anyone to rent from this place! I feel they are very shady and don’t care about their customers. Police were called and now they have an open investigation with the maintenance man because he was in there longer than 5 minutes in her storage unit without permission from the customer. Also she never signed the contract advising it was okay for them to enter without her permission. “The Manger Leo” was very unprofessional, kicked her out the establishment. Told his son to go grab a gun. Honestly, I feel like he had something to do with it they popped her lock without her being physically present or having her consent. ... Read more

Terrible experience with this storage facility! Owner did not protect my property from rat infestation and has been totally unresponsive. I attempted to contact them multiple times, including in writing regarding the rat infestation and they have ignored all my attempts. They also have ignored all attempts from the Better Business Bureau and Texas Attorney General’s office regarding this issue. I rented a unit at that facility for 18 months. My furniture was “like new” when stored there. When I came back to Waco to move out of my unit, there were rat droppings all over the floor, my stacked boxes, my clothes, my shoes, and my furniture. My couch, which was wrapped in cellophane was chewed through and there was rat urine spots and feces all over it. I spent over $1700 on rent and insurance, and I lost over $3000 of “like new” belongings due to rat damage. The insurance they offer DOES NOT COVER RODENT DAMAGE. They are selling you insurance they know does not cover the very problem they failed to prevent while my property was in their possession. Why are they not offering better coverage, or better yet, why didn’t they do anything about their rodent problem or be fair about my belongings being ruined in their facility due to no fault of my own? ...
