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.

Sold my friends unit off even though she was paid to date and without any notification. Claim it was a mistake and then claim they sent her notices. The VP of the company has been of no additional help as suggested they file a law suit. Do your research! This place will rob you blind if they think you are vulnerable.
Darlene really took time to explain and walk me to my storage to get settled. I really appreciated such kindness and attention.
I can say that the customer service that Karla gave me at the Staples Mill area was very pleasant and informative. I just got the unit so I have no complaints this for but wanted to give Kudos for the way I was treated for just getting a storage unit.

Sheila has been most helpful. I've had several questions and she answered and helped me with a smile on her face every time. She is professional and kind to every one that comes in. I like stopping and talking to her before I go into my unit. This is a nice and clean location.
Mr Tsvi is outstanding in helping you to solve storage problems. We have been using this storage unit for over 12 years. My thanks to good management. Keep, up the good work. Morris Gorrell
Worst customer service, one problem after another (gate code not working, approximately 30 phone calls asking me to pay the bill starting 2 weeks before it was even due, they even called my emergency contact regarding payment before it was due, storage door broken). I unfortunately didn't read their reviews before choosing them.
I was very pleased with the service I received at public storage located in Pompano Beach, Florida by ADA. She was courteous, responsive and happy to help me. I would recommend this storage location to meet your storage needs.
Terrible customer service. I reserved it online and I stopped by to get my storage unit. The older lady was extremely rude telling me she left a voicemail and I would have to come back because she was to busy. I didn't mind coming back but the way she said it was ridiculous. I had the storage for 2 months and I was clearing my things out and informed the front office I did not need the unit anymore the lady told me I would owe $60 and would get a $20 refund but could not explain why I needed to pay except that, that is what I owe. Again, she was rude. It made no sense. I cancel online and do not have a balance. Be aware.
When I called Naja was very helpful and answered all of my questions! And then when I went to the office those two times, Naja, Jarita, and Courtney were very welcoming and professional. The office was very clean and I am grateful to have gotten the awesome customer service Thank you public storage for hiring good people!

"Briana was very helpful and very easy to work with. I used storage facilities before was never really happy with the customer service so I've been looking for a good place to store my work equipment. She not only got me the size unit i needed, but when a larger unit was available and had a special rate for the same price as the one I had she let me know about it so I could rent that one. I was having rodent issues she took care of that, no more rodents to this day. I would recommend this storage site ask for Briana Property#*******
I had a great 4 years experience with Public Storage Farmingdale Storage unit. I was so impressed with the Service and the Customer support from the unit management. Best was cleanliness, security and the availability of management staff t. I wanted to command Kristy for her leadership directing Farmingdale unit and her excellence in serving the customers :)
CJ was wonderful, very helpful and informative. Space was what I needed and convenient as well as reasonably priced. Will continue experience with public storage when in need of a unit.
Several months after opening the account they gave me a large monthly rate increase. A second one followed that almost doubled the initial rate. Moved out today to go to Cubesmart. Nicer facilities, nicer people at half the cost. Save yourself time and money and go with Cubesmart.
Tracy greeted myself & my wife with a smile & eager to help us in getting a space to rent,, we give her 10 stars

Horrible property, first 2 months in 2 weeks after my wedding I found out there was a leakage inside my unit from all the rain and at that time it had been raining almost everyday. My belongings were significantly molded, some of my boxs still contained water Although they request that you have insurance when storing your belongings and I honestly see why... but what good is that when they give you an estimate bast off of what THEY FEEL your valuables are worth. They moved moved me to another without leakinging issues But there sure was bugs. Crawling inside my stuff not only that rat poop aswel. After realizing I was paying for my stuff to get ruined I decided to romove what was left of my items and still ended paying something. Out of $1500 of damaged I ended up with $630 with a $100 deductible which was crazy when the insurance I had award up to $3000. I've used several storage companies in the past but this was by far the worst experience ever! I only gave 1 for the sake of this post!
My name is Kenny and I have never tried in my life to rent a storage room before but the situation I have now I have to do it. So I ran to public storage last week to get some info and the manager there is so nice to answer all my question. This pass Monday I went to sign the contract and I meet their assistant her name is Danielle. A lady is pregnant and she is only girl on the counter and I have 3 customers in front of me but she handles everybody so professionally and she didn't make me feel like waiting for ages to done deal my lease with her. I'm writing this is trying to pass the message to all the new and old public storage customers. Are you appreciated the profficial service like this elsewhere? I do enjoy my service from there especially from Miss. Danielle
Thanks again for you assistance

Please, what ever you do, don't rent a storage from this company. They bate you into a introductory move in rate and then increase you rate by as much as 30 dollars not to mention the rates changes daily by as much as $50 dollars. They don't care about customer service. They only care about record profits to pay its bonuses to it executives. There are many others storage units to go with but make sure you read the reviews before renting.
Very happy with the, customer service Margie was awesome.The facility was clean and well maintained. So far very happy with the site. Not happy with the, company policy about insurance. I have homeowners insurance, however, I have to $13.00 extra every mont. Also I paid a month ib advance, bur was told that on. 9/2/17 they will do an auto, pay. Somethings nor righr. I will call to verify.
I had a exceptionally great experience with obtaining a 10x10 storage unit at the Public storage located at 653 Maguire Blvd, Orlando, fl *******. Staff members Tiphanie and Jose accommodated my storage needs and I am grateful. Great company.

Answer: No, and they will charge you for a spec of dirt left.
Answer: Just post a review on Google Maps andwrite a review about your experience at any business
Answer: The longer you stay the more you pay period. Depends on how much value they put on a hot active size rental.
