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

    I purchased a storage unit here in April and have been perfectly happy and satisfied here. My hours are crazy hectic but that’s ok because they offer 24/7 access! Kim at the front desk has been so helpful, sweet and kind. I had a leak in my unit but she switched me to a new unit asap no problems n made it so easy. I definitely recommend!!! ... Read more

    Ian as I came into the facility was friendly and helped me with a unit in a professional and curious way to allow me the benefit of getting a unit that is actually affordable if you want a chance at rock bottom prices that some places advertise and then tell you something different when you get there. If you have your own lock of any type for A 5' x 5' it's only $30 the first month with no ties. You get to walk away freely. I got this place at a needy time being exited from my residence for faulty excuses, but the stress has lessened being here at public storage. It's worth calling and maybe youll get lucky and talk to the director like I did. You need a place this is it. ... Read more

    Kim has been so helpful. I purchased online & the unit didn’t match my needs, she took the time to accommodate my situation & with great customer service, she made it happen! Super easy going & I’m grateful. Highly recommend. All 3 units I looked at were clean & well maintained. I feel confident that my belongings are safe. ... Read more

    Kim at Public storage was so very helpful. What a gem. It was a fairly fast and easy transaction. When I asked, she showed me the building, the easiest way to get in and out and how to most safely secure my belongings. What a gem!!! ... Read more

    DO NOT LET THEM GIVE YOU 87 AT COOPERPOINT FOR FULL PRICE FOR IT IS NOT A 5 X 5!!! They lie about the sizr of my unit attempting monthly to charge me full price for the half unit advertised. Then lied about 50 dollar return on their over charged locks. Which i got for half the price at my new unit.. nit surprised at all. Never again will i let this place rip me off and i hope you read reviews so that you do not as well. ... Read more

    Rented a space, Kim and Ian worked with me to transfer ownership and name on the account and space to my Son, whose space and whose stuff it was anyway. The process was complicated but they walked me through it with patience and professionalism. ... Read more

    I just got a unit in April with a $20 first month deal and $45 after. I paid $45 for 3 months and then in August they DOUBLED the rent to $80. I called to confirm and they gave me a "loyal customer discount" to postpone the increase until January (which cool thanks) but im still angry. I wouldn't have moved all of my belongings into a space if I knew the rent would be doubling in mere months. Now I feel like it will be 160 in three more months. ... Read more

    Rented a space, Kim the Manager computed the charges, I paid in full ($85.95) on 31 July and 2 days later I started getting msgs about when rent is due, avoid paying late fees, you still owe $4.67 so do you want us to use the same card? I'm trying to maintain my cool..I have receipts. If you don't believe me check with Kim. I paid for 30days of storage, paid in full, and will pay no more. ... Read more

    My family and I had to get a storage due to a move, we decided to go with Public Storage on Black Lake. We decided to go in person to be able to see the difference sizes of storage units to get a better idea and decide which storage would better fit our needs. Ian was very kind and helpful and took the time to walk us around to 3 difference units considering it was like a 90 degree weather that day and still was very patient and explained the prices of each one every step of the way. Thank you so much Ian for the great customer service and helping us get what we needed in a very kind, easy and helpful way. We appreciate you! ... Read more

    Kim was so great. I snagged a unit at this location and had to move out because I was able to get into a unit at another location closer to me. She helped me facilitate the move quickly. Much appreciated and excellent communication/service. ... Read more

    KIM IS THE BEST!!!! She was friendly and helpful, taking the time to explain the rental process clearly and answer all my questions. I appreciated her informing me about the prices and details of the Do's and Don't's... Overall, I’d definitely recommend Public Storage to anyone looking for a safe and hassle-free. Just ask for Kim... Thanks Kim ... Read more
    Michelle W. - 20 April 2025
    Absolutely positive experience! I suggest requesting Kim, she’s proficient and professional. When there were charges added to my account by mistake she fixed the problem within the same day so I didn’t have to pay a single dime more than I was supposed to. I definitely suggest this location if you’re looking for a safe place to store your belongings. ... Read more

    Kim, the property manager, was incredibly helpful. We've had a few hiccups with approved credits not being posted on our account. Stopped at the black lake property (our unit is at the Cooper point property) to speak with an actual human being, which is how I worked with Kim. She actively listened to our concerns and questions and was able to update our account so it reflects the approved credit. She was kind and provided excellent customer service. We are very thankful and grateful for having her resolve our issue. Thank you so much, Kim. Crossing our fingers we got it all figured out! ;) I am proving 4 stars because of the headache and lack of follow through from public storage, not because of Kim. To be honest, this review got as many stars because of Kim! ... Read more

    My grandma was having trouble remembering her code, and needed to update her information. The lady she spoke with on the customer service line was very unprofessional and rude. Thankfully when we went into the office Kim pulled through with excellent service. She was very kind and understanding and got all of my grandmas information restored and updated. Thank you Kim for helping out my grandma, the world needs more workers like Kim! ... Read more

    This is my first time renting a storage unit and I wasn’t super confident going in I don’t like doing new things or driving new places . I was having an off day . The gentleman “ Ian “ was incredibly friendly and very helpful though! He showed me where to go and what to do. He was very patient as well. Great customer service! ... Read more
