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.

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.

I usually make it to the storage facility where I have multiple units late in the evening, sometimes right before closing. I have had multiple experiences with finding people in the undercover area loitering around and taking a smoke break without any other cars besides my own on the property. One night a man got out of the back of his truck bed camper and walked across the way to have a smoke as I pulled in. He wasn't headed to a unit and looked like he had settled in for the night. This was just a few minutes before the gates closed was set to lock for the night. When I brought this to the attention of the manager he seemed unconcerned and told me that there was no night watchman and as long as they had a unit and entered before the gates closed at 10pm they could stay as long as they like. Basically the response was nothing to see here. Tonight I once again entered the building after 9 pm only to find that 2 people were talking/arguing around the corner even though no other cars were anywhere to be found. This was the area of my own storage locker and where I had seen a man before. Feeling extremely unsafe and knowing there was no security on site or even monitoring the cameras, I left the building without putting my things in storage. While I understand that this might be a place that someone could afford and may choose to use as there home base, it can make it extremely unsafe for others who are actually using the storage facilities and units as was intended. I have had storage units in the past at other facilities in the area and NEVER experienced anything like this. I do not recommend this place!

My unit is a smaller to I can easily downsize but this is notification for future tenants to get assigned lease where increases cannot be done! I forget of mentioned I had only had the unit for 2 months before the doubled the rent!!!! Bait and switch is what they did!!! I am half tempted to contact the state to find out if this is illegal! This is just a warning for all who consider this place is a good place or a good deal!!!! Shady company!!! I cannot unfortunately respond to the response from the owner.
