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 admit I had trepidation going in to rent a space but any concerns or worries evaporated when LINDA at the Public Storage location in Sunland, CA helped me.
Calm and friendly, she explained every facet of the process. I never felt rushed or that she was anything but patient and helpful.
Don't pick the closest place... pick the LINDA place. A+ all the way!

First Star Wars start by saying Public Storage offers a dollar movie in first month which is misleading by time you finish paying you end up paying almost one month payment because you pay a $24 administrative fee then the $1 which total $25 then they add on the insurance which is $11 then there's the lock fee of $19.95 and then the taxes are added on by the time that total $#*! up you will be paying almost one month payment and also you advise them of what it is you are storing then they suggest the sides unit you would need to hold your items which you will be storing but when you started to put your items into the unit space it's not enough room I think that they should be more knowledgeable of the space unit but they seem not to be that and knowledgeable of the space in the units I have rent space unit before and it was able to hold the items a witch I was storing and everything fit but here at Public Storage everything did not fit in the space they gave me so they are not very knowledgeable of the spaces there are renting out I would not be recommending public storage 2 anyone because they are misleading with that dollar move in first month and not knowledgeable other space of each unit dependent on customers items

Thank you, Megan, of the Willoughby facility in Hollywood. I came in with several problems. You got right on them and didn't stop until each was resolved. You treated me with respect, understanding and a great sense of humor, and even laughed at my little jokes. I have been a customer at this facility for years. I'd never had a bad experience with staff, but you really shine the klieg on property management/customer service. You made all the difference to me on a particularly sad day in this troubling and troubled world.

Wretched!

There are hundreds of storage unit businesses.
If you value your time and money... go to any one of them other than PUBLIC STORAGE! Your money in their hands is all that matters. Look up the class action suite against them & their deplorable practices, Damn shame, don't say I didn't warn you

I've had the worst experience at the 351 Parker St in Springfield, Ma. Judgement was placed on me a New Yorker of being rude, in which I wasn't an told to vacate my stay by a Mike Fleming. This experience of judgement by some that live in this State has been my worst nightmare. The mgr Ivelesse passes judgement on me an lied on my character, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone from New York. New Yorkers stay away from Public Storage, go to Uncle Bobs on Congress St. Whose staff is open an friendly to all that come across there doors.

Classic bait & switch! Forget the $1 introductory promotion. Climate controlled is not air conditioning--it means the unit may have shade for a portion of the day. $56 a month unit is really $88 when you check in.
