This place is great. It's clean it's safe the staff are very polite and helpful. That's not so easy to find in storage unit staff unfortunately from my experience. I think the prices are reasonable and I'm very pleased with my storage unit and the rate at which I'm getting it. If you check in U-Save ten bucks and get a free lock so that's pretty cool. The storage unit is located in a very convenient place off the freeway... that can be a big help. Another thing I really love about this storage facility is that they have a good number of rolling carts that are available to patrons and they make life so much easier for real. This is tons better than the place I was using before and if anybody needs a storage unit that I know you better believe I am recommending a wooden storage units services.

A++++ staff.

Weekday staff was very short and rude. Had to take our business to National City Storage just for some customer service.

These promotional rates are misleading when you end up paying significantly more just a few months later. On top of the pricing issue, I also had a problem with a skunk in my storage unit when I first rented the space. The facility provided no assistance or solution, leaving me to deal with the situation myself. That was a terrible first impression and made me question the level of customer service they provide. It's frustrating because I was simply looking for a place to store my belongings, set up autopay, pay my bill on time, and go about my life without constantly worrying about price increases or having to deal with issues on my own. It feels like customers who are reliable, pay on time, and barely require anything from the facility are not valued. I ended up going to Stor-em on Pacific Highway, where they offered me a larger storage unit at the same rate for an entire year, with no increase during that period. That is how you earn a customer's business and build loyalty. I would much rather support a company that values its customers, provides decent service, and offers honest, predictable pricing instead of attracting people with a low introductory rate and then nearly doubling the cost after just three months. My advice is to shop around and compare rates before signing up. I found a better option elsewhere, with more space and predictable pricing. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Extra Space Storage.

To Corporate Management, I am writing this review to express…read moremy deep frustration and agitation regarding my experience at National City Self Storage. While the base rental rates appear reasonable at first, the facility relies on uncommunicated fine print, rigid payment terms, and poor customer service that make storing here a nightmare. Key issues that require immediate corporate attention: Excessive Lock Fees: Charging $20 simply to cut a lock on top of $15 for a replacement lock totaling over $35 is unreasonable. Unfair Billing Restrictions: Customers are not allowed to clear a prior month's balance individually once a new cycle starts. Even on the very first day of a new billing period, you are forced to pay both months together along with late fees, regardless of financial circumstances. Uncommunicated Payment Methods: Staff failed to inform me that certain fees must be paid strictly in cash in person. Having funds on a card forced me to incur additional bank/ATM cash withdrawal fees. Severe Neglect of Customer Care: I was forced to navigate all of these hidden hurdles in 104°F heat with my 2-year-old child. Had staff explained these policies upfront, I could have completed everything in one trip instead of exposing my child to dangerous heat. The staff and facility policies failed me as a customer and as a parent. I am posting this publicly and contacting corporate so that this location is held accountable and forced to reform its transparency and customer treatment.

Pro tip if you're moving out get the uhaul with the ramp your back will love you for it . This uhaul rental Also has storage facility as well .

Their storage facility is pretty booked up all they had was a 5 x 10 which works well for me . They were very transparent with the transaction customer service was above and beyond . Value was great .

I'm honestly tired of having to deal with this level of customer service. I walked into this U-Haul…read morelocation and not one person acknowledged me. There were several employees around, one person was on the phone, another employee walked right past me, and I was simply left standing there waiting to be helped. I was ready to check out and was literally standing at the counter, yet no one greeted me or even made eye contact to let me know someone would be with me. The employee who was on the phone eventually asked a coworker if they could ring me up, but again, there was no acknowledgment or communication with me. The coworker was very wishy-washy and seemed like he didn't really want to help. Meanwhile, employees were walking around doing their own thing while I stood there waiting. I ended up waiting 5-10 minutes just to be helped, which is ridiculous when I was already standing at the register ready to pay. What made it even more frustrating was that when someone finally started the transaction, I didn't even realize they were actually ringing me up. The employee then got on her phone before the transaction was even completed, and I had to prompt her to finish so I could actually pay with my card. This wasn't about expecting some extraordinary level of service. A simple "Hi, we'll be right with you" and actually completing the transaction would have gone a long way. Instead, I felt completely invisible as a customer. Customer service seems to be becoming an afterthought in far too many places. If you're working with customers, please put the phone down, acknowledge the people standing in front of you, communicate with them, and actually finish the transaction before moving on to something else. Very frustrating experience, and unfortunately, not the level of service consumers deserve at a basic level.
