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.

I highly recommended Public Storage on Fortune Way, Wellington, FL and especially the wonderful service lady Cherryl I couldn't have gotten everything I needed or all the information I needed to make my move go smoothly Cherryl should get a raise!

I loved my experience with Sally and Denise! Think they have are a great team. I reserved my unit the day before which was the last unit and they saved it for me which was amazing considering I had to reschedule my reserve time. Way to go Sally and Denise. Denise even drove me around to find my unit...

Awesome Service!
June 23, 2019

I was looking for a storage place to rent because my landlord sold the place I was living in, made a phone call that afternoon and spoke with Mark (Manager at the Public Storage on SE Burnside / SE 202 St), he immediately reserved a space for me. Showed up next day and paid for the space, as simple as that! He was very helpful, knowledgeable, curtious and respectful! Made me feel that my stuff was at home and glad I made that phone call. Thank you much Mark!

Stacy was very pleasant, helpful and professional during my daughter and I visit. The facility was new and very clean. I was most impressed with how Stacy secured the facility prior to showing us around. I left feeling confident my belongings were in a safe and clean environment. I didn't feel rushed but well taken care of. It was a pleasure having Stacy help us. Thanks Stacy!

I was assisted by Rhonda at location *******. Her presence was very welcoming, she exudes great customer service! I would like to thank Rhonda for her patience and being very descriptive. She provided insightful information regarding sizing comparison within each storage unit. I feel as though she's a great asset to the company and not to mention a joy to talk to. In addition, the monthly prices are very affordable. I can't thank you enough for your professionalism!

This company has no consideration for customers and the staff worthless. I've given a 1 star because 0 is not an option. If you plan to rent a Storage space in Montclair, California, think twice. Security is a joke and management particularly "Delia" the onsite manager will deceive you and lie with a smile. I guarantee the 5 star reviews are employees.
I had my things stolen while at the facility the day I moved in yet her security camera's show nothing (Interesting) don't you think? Oh! And this was at the time of closing with only 3 customers including myself on the lot at the time. There are better choices then Public Storage read the reviews people, I certainly wish I had read them first before losing my things. I will be posting this on every website that will allow me to inform people how terrible this company is and what a worthless group of employees it hires.

Great Experience

Pat(*******) has been terrific to work with from the moment the storage unit was rented. She was helpful, dedicated, and made me feel welcome. All my questions and concerned were answered. She is definitely an asset to the company because she works to make renters feel appreciated.

Charlie was beyond helpful. He called to confirm my reservation and arrival time. He offered to stay late to get my reservation processed. We needed a larger unit than I initially thought. Charlie was more than happy to help me get the right unit. He was awesome. Thanks Charlie. I'll be sure to tell everyone I know where to store their stuff.

Public storage is a joke. Took 6 months to get a light bulb fixed. Made many phone calls and got no where except every excuse on why it wasn't fixed. Finally after 6 months they fixed it. Signs all over their stores say 100% customer satisfaction. Yeah right. No discount or nothing. In return I got a price increase of +$40. How do you price increase when a unit I was paying for was not taken care of. The only positive thing I have is the manager of the store was trying for me. It was not her fault. It was from the district manager on. Time to take my business elsewhere
