    The storage facility is clean and well maintained, but they have raised the monthly prices three times in the last 18 months. It's your typical bait and switch from initial pricing I agree to pay. I would look at other facilities.

    Came here to drop my stuff as I'm moving TOMORROW so tight on time and I have my movers with allllll my stuff where I'm paying by the minute and I get here and they are not in office :) whose refunding me the 50$ I had to spend on the movers because you guys weren't open to just give me my code into the building it's 4:15 and you guys close at 6 thank you for this definitely taking my shit and leaving this place. The owner called me seemed nice and helpful just bad timing

    Wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! Some moving friendly tips: forget the U-Haul!! This location in PB Offers a truck for your use (call for pricing & availability) but it saved me so much time (and money). Thankfully, I went to check out the unit/sign paper work before going to U-Haul to pick up the truck. In the parking lot, I noticed a truck that said "we move you free". While checking in, I asked Jennifer what that was all about. It's a new service that this location is offering -- with a dolly. Saved me from having to go back and fourth. I called and cancelled the U-Haul immediately. Another trip... if you're on a time crunch, go and do all the paperwork and see where your unit is before moving. That way, when you come back, just use your user-friendly code to access the flatbed Dolly's and move your things into your unit. I called around to other A1 locations and this was the cheapest (different locations = different prices on units). The rep I spoke to on the phone let me have the internet price (which is cheaper than walking in). Jennifer and her coworker were beyond helpful and made my move into the storage unit easy!! Clean unit. And awesome 80s music through out the facility. I got a medium sized unit. The main reason for getting a unit was because of my queen size mattress. That, along with the box spring fit in my unit with plenty of storage space around. (I only had 1bedroom worth of stuff). -- Thanks l again Jennifer for all of your help!!!

    Moving boxes!!! All sizes, save if you buy 10 or more.

    See all

    Their business model sucks. That should tell you all you need to know. But, if it doesn't let me…read moreinclude some facts. There is some type of discount when you first move in, it varies with their advertising. I was told that they would honor other competitor's rates and that they were affiliated with Costco which allayed my concerns. In my case it was half off some the cost listed online. That cost that was not the retail cost of $308.00 if my memory serves. Jessica told me this when I complained about the increaseof 16%+ to $264.00 after three month when I was hit with the automatic increase of more than 16% to a cost of $264.00 each unit that includes the 16.00 monthly insurance on each unit . Her implication was that at least the increase was not to the regular retail value of the units. She stated that the increases came from corporate and there was nothing she as a manager could do about it. There would be another increase after 10 months time, again from corporate. This was for two 10 x 10 units. Bait and switch comes to mind. At one time they may have been affiliated with Costco, but not anymore. I was not told about the twice yearly increases. Yes, I realize that it is a month to month rental and that the price could change, but I would expect it to be about the inflation rate, not 3 times that rate twice a year. That is simply a money grab and scam on the part of this organization based on the belief that the renter would not want to move out so soon after loading the space. For this 75 year old, they were wrong. Quite a few other storage facilities are doing the price increase twice a year (if you ask about it), but not all at the rate. This and other companies call around to the competitors and adjust the rates up to what the others charge. Can you say colusion and price fixing. I don't recommend renting to a lawyer and not being forthcoming about the rates. Total honesty is a good thing for customers. Find me if you need any class action help for a suit. They want you to clean out the unit when leaving but supply no garbage you can to use. I did not mop up the bird droppings, leaving that to the costodian, who in my opinion is the only one who is worth their pay. I was not told about any free coverings supplied, so I don't know if they are still doing it. I would recommend short term rentals only if you can afford it and can bring your own coverings and it is close to you. Never again for me though. Jessica is polite, and when told about the bird crap on my stored items, she suggested that I file an insurance claim. Photos will be uploaded later.

    "Perverted Price Storage"…read more ******* tip-- any agreements made in person or DO NOT RENT STORAGE FROM THIS PLACE. I usually am disappointed when I have to leave a one star review, but for this place I am honored!!! If anyone reads this review and rents here, may as well not have Yelp!! This is the top worst company i have ever reviewed. My experience was poor, so are others i noticed on BBB while filing a customer complaint report. If i write a bad review of a company on Yelp, it is also reported to the BBB. Price storage is making so muclike the Ritz, more like customer service of a corner liquor store Basically if you pay your bill on time, you will avoid the ridiculous fees. . However, they will eventually gorge you with a price hike or a hidden fee somewhere. I guarantee. After surviving a near fatal car accident my focus was recovering. It took a long time. This is a business, i understanding and don't expect special treatment. However, the fees and the general manager of this place should be embarrassed This is NOT a place college kids should utilize in San Diego. If you are a senior citizen DO not do store here.

Update: Might I add that I have used many, many storage units throughout California for over 40 years. This place tops the list, even at today's prices.

Thanks again, Marina the Multitasker, for helping me move forward towards my new senior life.

    I rarely leave reviews, but I feel it's important to share an honest experience for anyone…read moreconsidering storing their personal belongings here. I was informed by Kettner Storage that my lock was allegedly loose, and without my authorization, they placed their own lock on my unit. While I understand security protocols are important, the way the situation was handled afterward was incredibly disappointing and unnecessarily difficult. I live far from the facility, and with the cost of gas and time, I sent my assistant to simply check the unit. Despite calling from the phone number listed on my account -- the same number they have previously used to contact me regarding payments and account information -- my assistant was denied access because they refused to provide the key to the lock THEY placed on my unit. After multiple calls with the supervisor, confirming my identity over the phone, acknowledging who I was, and having my account information in front of them, they still insisted I personally drive down with my physical ID to access my own belongings. What made this more frustrating was being told "not to take it personally," when the reality is that this caused a very personal inconvenience involving my time, travel, expenses, and stress. There were many reasonable solutions that could have been offered: * Allowing me to email a copy of my ID for verification * Adding my assistant temporarily to the account * Verifying identity through the account phone number and information already on file Instead, I was met with inflexibility and what I believe was dishonesty. I was later told that on April 16th I had allegedly been informed that I would need to appear in person with ID to access the unit. That conversation never happened. The discussion on that date was regarding adding my card to autopay. For people who store important belongings -- especially if you travel frequently, live far away, or may need emergency access through a trusted assistant or family member -- this is something to seriously consider. If a lock issue occurs and you cannot physically appear immediately, accessing your own belongings may become extremely difficult. Storage companies should not only provide security, but also professionalism, honesty, hospitality, and practical solutions for their customers. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. I truly wish I could leave zero stars, but one will have to do.

Everything was organized, professional, and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend this facility and will be referring others.

    WARNING BAIT AND SWITCH !…read more Back in February, I went to go rent a unit at this location of Moreno Storage for $34 a month for a 4 x 5' unit. I have no issues until recently. I received the letter that you can see attached that they were going to increase my cost per month for this unit to $101 a month. I completely understand that they may have the legal right to do this but then I think everyone should know about it as I'm trying to let people know that if you rent from them and even a short period of three months, they'll play the bait and Switch game. If that increased my rent by $30 a month I would've been upset but not enraged. In this world, you should be building trust amongst customers, but when you do things like this, how can they trust you or am I just collateral damage that doesn't matter to you? Every single one of their customers should know this, especially if you're getting a unit that you think is at a good price, but the real reason is they're gonna triple it and say that that's the market rate which by the way I checked and that's not the market rate for a 4 x 5Ft anywhere in San Diego. I've included another image which is a screenshot from A1 Storage another provider in the area and as you can see from the image there is a promotional rate. It's states that actually mine never stated that with Marina and their normal cost for a 7 x 5foot unit is $98. That's the market rate and they're saying the market rate is $101 for a 4 x 5 to me this is price gouging. I'm glad Yelp doesn't remove reviews like Google does because they removed my last review about them on Google, which is what they do to all bad reviews so they can try to keep a good standing shame on Google for that.
