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

Needed a storage unit for nearby college students' stuff for the summer and Tacoma Self Storage was ideal. Derrick was wonderful to work with from the initial phone call to once the unit was cleared out. Easy access, carts available, clean, and well lit. Students stored and removed their items with no issues. Will definitely use again (assuming great review doesn't cause them to sell out) ;-) ... Read more

Just got a storage unit here and the manager Derrick was nice and helpful. The prices are reasonable and my unit is perfect for my needs. I was dreading getting a storage, unnecessarily so cause I feel at ease at Tacoma Self Storage. ... Read more

Very clean, temperature controlled indoor facility. Good lighting, plenty of carts in good condition, close-in parking and excellent security. Restroom in front office only accessible when business office is open. Access gates are a bit narrow - OK for most vehicles except wide vans and trucks. Helpful office staff. ... Read more

I rented a unit here for 8 years, and clearly they are under new (probably corporate) management, and as such, their new business model is to lure you in with a low rate and then quickly jack up the rate in rapid succession, hoping that it will be too inconvenient for you to move all your stuff to another facility. Despite being a loyal customer for the aforementioned 8 years, they effectively doubled my rate in less than two years (and they also eliminated an annual discount). The irony is that one employee admitted they could give me twice as much space for less than one-third of my current price if I moved into a larger unit. But then, of course, I knew the jacking up of rates would continue all over again, even higher than before. This was their "solution." I think they are unethical, and you will regret patronizing them. My advice -- as of April 2025 -- is to stay far, far away. ... Read more

I was an idiot and showed up 10 mins before they closed but they still went above and beyond helping me out; they answered all my questions and let me see a potential unit, and helped get me signed up. Great customer service! ... Read more

I have been renting a unit from Tacoma Self Storage for the last almost 10 years. I appreciate the previous management was very approachable and it definitely seemed like a family ran business. With the new management. I appreciate the upgrades to technology so I'm able to text questions and get answers and deal with anything that arises. There has been a couple mistakes but they are very gracious and they fix their mistake quickly and very pleasant to work with. Now being that I've been here for almost 10 years, the prices have increased quite a bit but I guess that's an inflation? I wouldn't want the new management to not honor the 'Tacoma Elf Storage' during the holidays. It's kind of a Tacoma staple. ... Read more

Got started with my unit in February 2025 with the cheapest rate that I could find and a nice deal for my first two months. Things were clearly explained to me, the guy at the front helped me get set up with everything I needed, and the unit was clean when I opened it up to get my stuff stored. Had a minor issue with my passcode not working for the gate for entering/exiting but the guy at the front helped out every time without hesitation. ... Read more
