Public Storage Reviews Reviews Summary

Public Storage's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to steep and frequent price increases, inadequate customer service, and poor management responsiveness. Many customers report feeling neglected, with unresolved issues regarding billing and unit security leading to frustration. While some locations receive praise for their cleanliness and helpful staff, these positive experiences appear inconsistent. Overall, the feedback suggests a troubling trend of unprofessional practices and a lack of accountability, prompting customers to caution others about their experiences and consider alternative storage options.

Patrice is awesome
April 15, 2021

Patrice went above and beyond to help me find a cart. She is so nice and always wants to make her customers happy. It would be great if the Public Storage located off of Coral Ridge Drive and Holmberg could add a few more carts. Thanks Patrice for going above and beyond!

At this public storage I'm truly blessed to have met the property manager Patrice.
She is a very hard worker, friendly and always greating me with a smile. Always communicating with me about my unit. She always tries to reach out to me about my payment Patrice is the best in property manager I have ever came across.
In a time when am having such difficulties in my financial situation Patrice always call me to ask what she can do to help.
It's amazing how much better it is for me to know how much Patrice care and understand the value of her clients.
Thanks to public storage for giving me and many others a manager like Patrice.
Thanks.
Sincerely Dianne.

Awesome location! Was lucky enough to speak with Michelle at the Pleasanton CA location today! She greeted us with a smile and was anxious to assist us. She adhered to social distancing and masks as she showed us to the storage location. She was patient as she answered our questions and assisted with how to complete the reservation online. Due to the online è-reservation being unavailable she took the time to patiently assist when I phoned back. I completed the reservation and she later even called me back to let me know everything had gone through. What amazing Customer Service! Appreciate that, especially during this pandemic. We thank you and Michelle for a pleasant experience today!
Thank you,
Janet Hord

The 69 Matthews Dr. Hilton Head Island Facility is clean, has climate controlled space, no crawlers, and Great Management. Great Asset for residents/part-timers on an Island who have to make the most of their space. Manager Mrs. R. Lynch has worked with me as needs expand, contract - repairs, renovations, my visitors/ relatives who temporarily need space in my home - thus our stuff has to go for awhile. Mrs. Lynch and those who work with her are through in explaining the insurance, locks, prices - they do change similar to a lot of things in a Resort community. Also facility has Cameras - that work! And controlled access.

Martin the Property Manager at the 18 1/2 mile and Mound facility in Sterling Heights, Michigan is an All-Star. I have never seen anyone who is so quick to think on their feet and solve problems within a New York second. This guy is unbelievable. The building and property is immaculate and running finer than a Swiss watch. I heard alot about him and had to go see for myself what all the hoo-rah is about. I am beyond impressed and amazed. He gave me all my options and was very transparent. As long as he is running the show I will be a long-term tenant.

Feedback for company
March 16, 2021

(Feedback) Hello, I recently moved out of my unit on 3/14/2021. I have been a loyal customer for over 2 years and have always paid my unit on time. Over the course of 2 years my rent had been raised 3 or 4 times which in my opinion is excessive. I did speak with the location manager when they raised it a second time and she told me that because I had been a great customer, she would see if they could work something out with my rate and would get back to me, which she never did. When I moved in they pro-rated my first month and I was told they would do the same when I moved out, now I'm being told there is no pro-rate when moving out. So I paid 250.00 for an entire month and only used the unit for 14 days. Honestly I am a bit disappointed and will probably never use Public storage again. Not great customer service for a large, highly regarded company.
