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.

Ms Tahita Pearl - Perla
December 30, 2018

What a gem! Literally swamped when we came to change iur storage space size, yet she handled everyone with care. Cool and collected even with a difficult customer who didn't want to pay insurance. She showed us two other sizes. Helped me with additional moving items... this place is clean and the staff is tge best. Perla could've used a hand today, but she worked through lunch to care for everyone. Thanks Perla!

These women were very professional and went the extra mile to assist with my storage issue. Their manager should be proud of the amount of customer service they exhibit toward difficult customers and customers with just general concerns. Great staff.

I wish to express my sincere "Thank you" to Dee at the Public Storage on Mildred Ave in Tacoma. She was very friendly and hospitable as well as professional. She took care of me without any problems. She expalined to me the procedures of using the storage unit and what to do if I had any questions or problems. If I need to rent again, I will defiantly go back to public storage to see Dee.

You have a very professional employee name Coquita was being harassed by a drunk customer and she was mild matter, respectful and handle the problem very well. I just want to give her a shout out for the way she handle herself and the customer did apologize for his behavior which I guess he felt embaressed after he realize he cause the problem.

Horrible RAT infestation
November 26, 2018

We put our possessions in storage while we moved. Came back to get some items unit was destroyed by rats. They torn things up and rat poop all over. No dumpster to throw the horrible stuff away. Went back to get stuff to wash and save. Cops were there unit next to ours was robbed all there TVs and furniture. This place is suppose to be secure. We are so upset we lost alot of our items. The people there are very rude and nasty. They went up on rent a month after we moved in. What a horrible experience. Never will use a public storage again
I hope people see this and think twice about trusting their personel belonging to this horrible place. It is on NE 36th st. Ocala fl.

We went on their website, put a unit on hold, got a call back and an email very quickly confirming our unit and a time to come in and see it and complete paperwork. Resident on duty was very friendly and outgoing, knew what she was doing, and had us signed up and our space rented in less than 15 minutes. She took us to the unit to show us what we were getting. It was very, very clean and well built. We had no qualms about putting our belongings in the unit and didn't have a worry about water leakage or damage being done while our possessions were in the unit. Door was easy to open and close and the lock felt very secure. We did have to purchase a certain lock that they provided to us and it was mandatory that we purchase insurance which added to the cost of the unit, but the first month's rent was only $1.00 so that helped with the cost. The rental is month-to-month so we can remove our belongings and cancel at any time. We felt the rental amount was very reasonable for the unit. It was a very pleasant experience and we would highly recommend this facility.
