    Great place. Looking for close location to the beach. Very clean and easy access. Couldn't ask for better service.

    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.

    I have had 2 units here for over a year. I'm finally moving out now. as far as storage places go,…read moreI really like this place. first of all it's super convenient location just off the 5 freeway and the people that work there are very kind and enjoyable to talk to. I was there all the time and usually had to bring my dog which they never complained about even though there wasn't supposed to be any pets. they closed at 7 every night and sometimes I wasn't paying attention. It they would wait for me. Overall I have nothing but good things to say. All the units were clean and if you get a bigger unit they might have lighting. Highly recommend. They may not be the cheapest but for convenience it was worth it

    DO NOT RENT HERE! They raise rent without notice and there is rat poop all over the units!…read more They gave me an initial rate of $120 ish a month for a closet room of storage space (5x10) which was fine for the time as this is about the average in San Diego. WITHOUT NOTICE they raised the date to $160! When I called the guy told me they notified me via email, they did not. The little girl in the office called me back to tell me the guy was wrong and they mailed it. They did it. NO NOTICE WAS GIVEN EITHER WAY, so I told her to cancel my account and we got our stuff out the next week. THEY THEN ILLEGALLY charged my account for this month WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. I have filed fraud with my bank and will be filing against the office manager as well. This place is ghetto and fraudulent. RENT ELSEWHERE.

    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.

    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.
