I called in to see about getting my rate down and they advised I could be saving 50.00 a month if I apply on their website to move units! WOW!!! I am now looking for a different storage facility. I'm not a fan of being taken advantage of! Every penny counts in this economy - I feel like I've been ripped off for years now being over charged 50 a month times 12 is 600.00 a year!!!! Been with this company since they were extra storage. Over 5 years now, wish I knew sooner they were ripping me off.

If you're looking for a rat-infested storage unit, this poorly maintained property is the place for…read moreyou. My unit was overrun with rats, and the floor was so covered in feces that I couldn't take a step without stepping on it. The tops of my plastic bins were coated in droppings, and the edges of my furniture were chewed up. I had to throw away half of what I stored. When I reported this to the front office, their response was dismissive--they claimed they hadn't received any other complaints about rodents and assured me they use monthly exterminators. I asked for a broom to clean up the mess, took photos, and left with a carload of ruined belongings to dispose of at the dump. I also had renters insurance with $5,000 in coverage, but the adjuster informed me there's a specific clause for vermin damage capped at $400. Essentially, the insurance was useless in this situation. Rats even got into sealed moving boxes. Lesson learned--avoid this place at all costs.

If I could give this place a negative 5 stars I would. When we went to check on our unit and move…read moreour stuff out there were rat droppings everywhere with some of our boxes chewed on. Of course, Ophelia was very dismissive and then tried to go as far as blame us for the problem. When the other company ran this storage facility we didn't have any problems or issues whatsoever, and the grounds in general are disgusting. Ophelia is the worst manager I and my husband has ever dealt with and that doesn't even start to cover the way she is. She's very unprofessional, argumentative, and verbally combative. The unit that we had is actually supposed to be temperature controlled which of course she denied that any type of cooling unit or units were even on the property. We know for a matter of fact that there are swamp coolers in our unit as the other company actually had them operational when needed. Even in Stockton with it's 100+ degree weather the previous manager made sure she ran the coolers so our stuff wouldn't get ruined. This company needs to fire Ophelia and her staff as the majority of them have attitudes and then act like they are answering and talking back to you when you aren't even talking to them while on the phone and discussing things with another person. We have never not had renter's insurance and they were constantly asking for copies of our policy and then stating that they will charge us extra if we don't show them. Our unit was the largest one they have as we had 3 households in one unit. Unfortunately, when I checked the regular prices it was almost $150 more than what my husband and I were paying for our unit as we were paying $395 for a 10x28. They also don't believe in being godfathered into the situation and seeing we had been there for so long thought they had the right to raise the storage fee continuously. I have never been so disgusted with the laziness or lack of professionalism in my life a long with staff trying to get with my husband knowing that he is with me. So in conclusion whatever you do don't go to the Storquest Self Storage on E March Lane in Stockton as they are the worst storage company you could imagine to work with. Deuces and good riddance.

ROXANNE KALEND SMART STOP SELF STORAGE…read more (916) 799-3633 Store #6091 Locker #G029 7760 Lorraine Avenue Stockton, CA 95210 I am writing this letter to express my sincere disgust, disappointment and outrage with SSSS. SMART STOP SELF STORAGES' lack of basic customer service skills, procedures, professional management, procedure protocol and lack of respect was senseless. Due to the negligence and lack of interest from corporate management, REGGIE VENABLE AND JACOB RODREGOUS The site manager was on able to assist my in any wasy I am experiencing needless significant personal losses. My locker was robbed in November 2023, due to a lack of security. I am told the staff on site is not able to investigate the alarm sounding. SSSS policy is not to investigate, they assume it was an animal tripping the alarm. The police are never called, no police reports are ever taken. I pay for a 24/7 security service and expect it to be provided. I was told not one of the 9 cameras on the property was functioning. The property entrance, storage rows and fence line were not being recorded by surveillance cameras no security guards or dogs on the property for live time responses. The Sentury Executive Gun Safe and its valuable contents was stolen in its entirety. In November 2023 my locker was also crashed into by 2 cars. The door was mangled, exposing the contents of the locker to severe storm categorized weather conditions. Extreme winds and exceptionally intense rainfall invaded my locker. This created extreme damage. The locker was open to the weather for 4 months. The rear wall of my locker was cut open by a vandal to create an entrance / exit. My locker was invaded by rats, cats, and homeless people, water an wind. They ALL took my locker as their home for four months. They left large amounts of urine, poop, spit and general destruction. My entire locker was ransacked. My boxes were tipped over, opened with the contents broken, stolen, urinated on and pooped on for four months. SMART STOP SELF STORAGES' lack of basic customer service skills and procedures cost me a substantial personal loss, mentally, emotionally and financially. No professional management protocol was available. Four months of neglect made a bad situation worse. The site manager was not able to assist me in any way due to a lack of training in loss prevention and protocol. Corporate management guidelines are vague and useless to the site manager and customers. Due to the negligence and lack of interest from corporate, regional mgr., claim department and the district mgr. the damage to my personal property grew more intense as time was wasted senselessly. At the very least I expected a phone call or email to apologize and explain the plan to repair the damage to my property. November 2023, 3 lockers were damaged. My locker was crashed into by 2 cars. The door was mangled, exposing the contents of the locker to severe storm categorized weather conditions. Extreme winds and exceptionally intense rainfall invaded my locker. This created extreme damage. I had to dispose of quite a bit. The smell of human waste, and the urine, poop and rotting food was unbearable. Think for yourself - WOULD I WANT TO DO THIS - REMOVING HUMAN POOP. The locker was open to the weather for 4 months. Water damage occurs fast, which creates mold, mildew and general destruction. SMART STOP SELF STORAGES' lack of basic customer service skills and procedures cost me a substantial personal loss, mentally, emotionally and financially. No professional management was available. Four months of neglect made a bad situation worse. The site manager was not able to assist me in any way due to a lack of training, communication, guidance & support from Jacob Rodrigues. His refusal to acknowledge her plea for help & guide her in the direction of loss prevention & theft report protocol. Corporate management does not provide guidelines on theft report submission. Due to the negligence and lack of interest from corporate, regional and district management the damage to my personal property grew more intense as time was wasted. Smart Stop' district manager DISTRICT MGR. JACOB RODREGUIS was not interested in escalating this situation to the proper management or department for support and guidance. Numerous attempts to contact him went unrecognized. In calling corporate several times, asking for help, went unrecognized. Not one call was repeated. The claims department TERRI (?) did not respond to any of my requests for communication support. All requests & attempts for communication and guidance over 4 months were ignored by all levels of management. This venue will not allow me to continue my long post. Please take my warning words seriously
