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.

The #******* store and the manager were just what I need Ed to put me at ease with this whole move from KC. I was not expecting the kind of service that was provided to me. 110% satisfaction. I will be going out of my way to bring this location business for the friendliness that was shown to me. Thank you so so much.

Paul was very efficient and polite. He gave me perfect directions to get there. Forrest was there on Wed when I returned. He was helpful as well. I would like to comment on how clean the storage facility is. Great! Everything was excellent!

Candi at Public Storage #******* - Louetta Rd. In Houston, was very efficient and friendly. She even stayed open past office hours so that we could sign up. We will be taking our RV tonight to store it for the first time, so hopefully all will go well, but I'm confident that with Candi managing the property, we will be satisfied.

I was given a discounted rate for my storage unit. However within 6 months they rescinded that and raised my rate the exact amount of my discount. I was given two different stories as to why the rate was going up. I was given no notice whatsoever. I was told they sent a letter. Well they sent the letter to an address that was over 6 months old despite the fact they had my updated information. I was told if I talk to customer service they would help me since the letter didn't come and I had financial hardship. That is a big lie. The discounted rates or a ploy to get you in there, once you're in then look out. I tried to call and talk to a manager according to customer service there aren't any. Then when I called the executive office and left multiple messages no one returned your call. They only care about your money they don't care about their customers and their 100% satisfaction guarantee is a big lie stay away.

After having my belongings in storage for 18 months, I want to say thank you to Shirley for her great help with an encouraging word when I was so stressed over my situation. She is a real plus to the property. It was always in tip top shape. Thanks again to Shirley - Super Star

CONSUMERS BEWARE!
July 6, 2015

First, the only reason I used this place was because they were the only one available. I initially had to wait an hour to even get one. Then they avertised $1 first month. Well, that turned into $34 after their "admin fees" and worthless "insurance". Accepting that having no other choice, I went ahead and got one. I specifically asked the guy, "How do I cancel when I'm done?". "Just come in and tell us." We were only there from the beginning of the month until the 20th of June. Once we emptied the unit and took our lock we informed them. Then July comes around and they still charged my account. So I try to call the local office, get transferred to their "National Call Center" just to be told that my account was still active until July 2nd. So they charged me for July anyway. The person at the call center could not help me get my money back so they gave me a number to the "District Manager". Who I question even exists. Called several times no answer. They recording left another number which, you guessed it, did not answer. If you have other options do it even if it costs more and further more if your left with my decision, just sell everything its must less frustrating.

Tony has been the most pleasant and helpful person we have dealt with. We have been looking at other locations and he (besides the awesome, clean, and safety facilities), was very thorough with everything. Showed us the different size storages that would best fit our needs. Overall... we have been very pleased and comfortable storing our belongings here. Thanks Tony for all your help! :)

FANTASTIC!
June 28, 2015

On 6-13-15 my Nephew had lost his home due to the passing of my oldest brother. This situation had turned into an eleventh hour deal and we HAD to get a ton of personal belongings out of the house and garage. To be honest, it was a total disaster and we were scrambling trying to get things happening for my nephew. We had went by the Public Storage on Ashland Ave, in San Lorenzo, Ca. And spoke with Twila, hope I spelled her name correctly, she informed us that she did not have what we were looking for available. She was kind enough to call over to your E 14 th St. Facility and see if there was anything available there. She sent us over there and we met with Tiffani and Lana. I explained the dire situation we were in and those two ladies knocked me off my feet! They were Heaven sent. The compassion and understanding they have is unbelievable. Without the help of Lana and Tiffani we would have been up a river without a paddle. They were not only sympathetic and caring about our situation, I feel they truly care about helping others and really, really enjoy what they do. With their Professionalism and understanding hearts they took such a burden off of our Family. Before we started this task that morning, I had asked God to please stay with us and get us through what had to be done on that day. God not only stayed with my family, he sent Tiffani and Lana to our aid. Lana and Tiffani, I would like to Thank the both of You Ladies again. I do apologize to you both for not sending you guys this message sooner. A couple of Angels that I am Proud and Honored to have in our lives. I hope this finds you guys Safe and Well. Take Care and Be Well and we will see you soon. Shivawn, Thanks to You for taking the time to follow up with the phone call. You folks have 3 special Ladies that you can be proud of and to have as your co-workers. May the Peace of the Lord be with you and yours.
