Read some helpful reviews of Portland Ave Self Storage at 1421 East 44th Street, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I'd give a zero stars if possible. Do not trust the clerk Bob when he says he updates your info such as a very important phone number. Although my case is not typical I hope this didn't or doesn't happen to anyone else when a loved one passes. The procedures and policies need to be reviewed or this individual re trained properly. It makes no sense to basically fraudulently extort money for over a year from a family member and have no way to update contact information for those paying going forward. In end we did not get to finish the probate process before they auction off my deceased brothers stuff. They sent all notices to the deceased persons address, email, and phone number. Why? Either Bob didn't follow procedures and policies or I suggest your system be updated to handle this kind of situation. The contract was set up in Tacoma but person with different name is paying out of tacoma how does one not look into sending a letter to the paying address when clearly the account is noted original person is deceased. I was never contacted by higher management if this arrangement was not how they run business so I think that should be kept in mind when running business going forward. I don't think it was ethical after already conversing on the phone why the storage had been lost and take 10 more minutes of lecture and attempt to prove I wasn't following up, just to give me what the buyer returned/left. They call me I dont get a bill in writing or by email. Is this not an option your system can handle? I always immediately paid off of the voicemail notice. but thanks to this clerical error of not updating my phone number we lost my dead brothers stuff. On top off that it was absolutely disrespectful after asking multiple qs to see a picture or ask to leave a name and number with the buyer I'm told by Bob 100s of people saw that unit and saw no value in it. I'm not looking sadly for monetary value it was personal value to somone like my brothers 10 year old daughter. Also on the policy how are they are aloud to keep my card on file without a written signature ?? and if they went that far of keeping it without written authorization why did they not run the card like they had previously in order for us to not lose the unit? ...

The Santa Claus looking guy behind the counter says the info we gave him doesn't add up yet your not permitted on the premises after hours but the fool admits that he lives on the site yet his story did not add up for anything and yet he realed of methamphetamine for whom it may concern I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS STORAGE FACILITY TO ANYBODY IT MAY CONCERN. Nor did he have any keys or padlocks in stock and I think he may be imbezaling funds under the table. Somebody needs to have his suspicious activities reported to the local tacoma police authorities. ... Read more

I highly recommend this facility. Not only were their prices the best around, but the customer service was some of the best I’ve ever dealt with. Specifically, Lee (manager), showed so much care in helping me store my vehicle. I created a complicated situation and she handled it so professionally and went out of her way to make it work. I am so thankful this company & Lee were there to help me out. ... Read more

My experience there for almost the past year has been wonderful. The place is kept clean and neat and the lady who is generally there is friendly and quickly responds if I need anything. I had never rented a storage unit before but they have made it pleasant. I highly recomend them. ... Read more
Scott H. - 14 October 2019
Nice clean location, friendly staff, easy administration (can make payments online!) and good security with onsite management. Prices are my only complaint, and they're still not horrendous. Quick and easy to get a unit, access the unit, and vacate the unit. ... Read more

These amenities include Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Truck Rentals, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Online Payment and RV Storage. 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 Portland Ave Self Storage - 1421 East 44th Street can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 to 480 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.

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!
