I rented a unit here for 8 years, and clearly they are under new (probably corporate) management,…read moreand as such, their new business model is to lure you in with a low rate and then quickly jack up the rate in rapid succession, hoping that it will be too inconvenient for you to move all your stuff to another facility. Despite being a loyal customer for the aforementioned 8 years, they effectively doubled my rate in less than two years (and they also eliminated an annual discount). The irony is that one employee admitted they could give me twice as much space for less than one-third of my current price if I moved into a larger unit. But then, of course, I knew the jacking up of rates would continue all over again, even higher than before. This was their "solution." I think they are unethical, and you will regret patronizing them. My advice -- as of April 2025 -- is to stay far, far away.

When you spend Christmas with darling children who believe in Santa Claus, the holidays evolve from…read moredisgruntling to delightful. Rewind to Christmas 2007. I was visiting my nephew and niece in Seattle. My nephew was soon to be old enough to be a non-believer, and that dissent had the potential to spread to my niece. Then, miraculously, while driving back from Tacoma in my sister's red Subaru chariot, we all Saw something. A glowing neon sign to the right of the freeway that said, "Tacoma Elf Storage." I will never know if the 'S' was intentionally turned off for the holidays, or if it was a coincidence, but for a brief moment on a rainy, December night, I was again a believer. And it bought extremely precious time for the little ones, who still talk about it and reference it in the great Santa debate, which was the greatest Christmas gift of all.

He was very disrespectful and publically disrespectful at that. Was yelling at me in front of other storage renters. As I stated I understood him inside while we spoke, he continued to follow me outside and continued to speak loudly and abruptly. Very unprofessional, disrespectful and rude. I hope you don't continue to speak to renters like this. Due to this, I will be transferring companies and changing my storage. He is not an asset to your company for an 11 year veteran. Richie needs to be more professional as a manager.

I'm a general contractor and have a licensed electrical and plumbers on call. There were times we needed access to our expensive equipment we don't leave in our vans in the middle of the night. They stopped that. My rent for a single vehicle went from $80 to $140 in 3 years. My rent on my unit went from $320 to $485 in 3 years. They hire a guy named Perry . Caught him inside my unit one day as I went to use the bathroom they use to have on site. Those are gone!! I said bro what are you doing? He's like I saw your motorcycle and had to come check it out. A few months later I walk inside the office to pay the rent and see a new desk, office chair, filing cabinet, bookshelf. I'm like what?!! This all looks so familiar. Well come to find out it was all mine from one of my units I was renting with bud and Jacky. Somehow the paperwork was lost and there were several units he didn't know the occupants. Rather than emailing everyone or calling he cut all the locks and kept the stuff. I started seeing all my teak wood out on the porch , my bike, my outdoor table and chairs. I called my contract attorney and he explained they would probably win in court . Like tow companies there is such a grey area they can manipulate. Now it seems it's all about being a corporate locations and charging as much as possible. They use to provide a good value but don't any longer. Look out how the paving situation was handled or the broken gate that just sat for months on end. It's really sad. Now I will say Jessica is super kind and has always been cool with me . None of this review represents her and the other girl that's her sidekick. This is just me being honest after being there since 2012.

I'd caution folks to use Self Storage. They are one of the more expensive locations in the areas…read moreand they will look to minimize their liabilities with any given situation based on the contract/policy signed agreement. Customer service is nil. Read carefully what you're signing and understand that they will treat that document as the bible. I wouldn't look to resolve any situation beyond that. We had a couple issues with this location I'll highlight below. 1. The first was the lot markings. On our sign-up they told us to use 31-A. When we could find 31 but not 31-A, the office was closed and when we dialed the emergency number, we didn't get any pick-up. We guessed, fortunately correctly that spot 31 was ours and not 31-A and fortunately, we didn't end up parking in someone else's spot. 2. They didn't pick up when we dialed the emergency number during this time. Fortunately we didn't have any issues with codes that prevented us from accessing our vehicle so that was a plus but still a concern for us. 3. The expense is great. 160ish for a dirt spot. You can get a spot close to Seattle for a few bucks less in very costly real-estate so their numbers are a bit inflated. They tout their security but for the price you pay you could reserve just about anywhere else within a 20 mile radius for less money. The security here is still gate codes and an assailant could pretty easily watch someone punch in a number with a set of binoculars or spotting scope. True security would be a card scanner or enclosed structure and there's areas in Pierce King that have this. 4. The customer service is just, read the policy and follow the policy. If you have any kind of exception, they won't make it or work with you to make it. They will pretend that when you ask for an exception that had you asked more nicely they would have granted it no matter how kindly you ask. When it doesn't work in your favor, they'll simply laugh at you and hang up or accuse you of arguing . At least this was my experience when I asked for an exception to be made to pro-rate our final month's rent. Because we did not provide 20 days written notice, they would not make an exception nor would they even offer proration for the final 6 days of the month if we gave written notice at the time of vacancy. They are well within their right to do this. I wouldn't say they aren't. If you're working with them, just note that your interaction will be based only on the contract you sign. They will work to make you seem unreasonable if you ask for anything beyond that. All the best in your storage hunt folks.

That being said, this CORPORATE COMPANY is VERY SHADY, after 56 years of life I have NEVER had a company be so deceptive and do me so wrong. My rent doubled after 5 months of renting and the real kicker is... I can go to their website right now, and get the same unit I'm renting for about the same price as when I moved in! So they double my rate, but a new customer can get a unit for half the price of mine. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING, no it's not an introductory rate, and no it's not an internet rate. I literally just went to their website and checked the rates. I'm not new to storage, I've had a large unit in Tacoma for over a decade, I know rates go up, I know about move in specials, I know rates periodically go up. I know about all the things they would say to try and smoothe things out. They are 100% wrong, and they are being 100% deceptive. Get you in, double your rate. STAY AWAY, you'll be sorry!
