6 Year Update (Nov. 2023): This Public Storage location is still one of the nicest-maintained…read morebuildings I have used, with everything in good working condition and no signs of disrepair. The climate control always has the unit at a reasonably comfortable temperature all year round. I've seen no evidence of any kind of leaking (which I can't say about my previous X-Tra Storage unit in Wheeling and A.Smith's Storage in North Chicago). The large cargo elevators are in good shape, and move quickly and quietly between the 3 floors. There is a digital access panel that requires a code to enter the storage area. The dolly carts provided have seen a lot of miles, but are still all in good shape with no wobbling or weirdness. They also have hand trucks available upon request (along with boxes and packing supplies for sale). The facilities, along with the bathrooms and office, are always clean. I like that the entire facility is well lit, with motion-sensing lights in the hallway, and clear lines of sight through the halls. Police frequent the plaza that its in, and there are security cameras all inside and outside of the building, so it should be fairly safe at all hours. They state they're open Mon ~ Sun, 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM, but I've successfully accessed my unit a little earlier and a little later. Any time I've run into staff, they're courteous and attentive. Price-wise, this location is fair. Shop online, and you can get some really good promotional rates. We got a 10" W x 5" D unit for $70 for the first year, and $100-ish after the year (we opted for our own insurance coverage, where we had to provide pictures and account info to Allstate). We wanted to use our own lock, but they made us use their lock at no additional charge. It's a decent quality Master no. 40 70mm discus-style padlock with hardened shrouded shackle, but a so-so 4 pin cylinder that's jiggle resistant but easy-ish for a journeyman to pick with the right tools and a few minutes. Fortunately, I don't have anything too valuable, otherwise I might insist on them allowing me use a better lock. Avoid coming here around 9am and 5pm. The Public Storage shares the plaza with several office buildings, and there's only one way in and out on Pfingsten Rd. for everyone. At 9am and 5pm, there can be a little bit of a traffic backup, as all those folks are commuting to and from the surrounding offices.

BAIT & SWITCH - price WILL go up so be careful…read more Fantastic location. Units are good. Locked elevator access and good location. Sounds great, right? I've had better customer service at the DMV. When I was mostly moved in, I had the pleasure of meeting a nice woman who moved here from New Orleans. She shared that she was moving out of a 10 x 15 unit. When I asked why, she said the initial cost was around $150, and in just 2 years they had raised it to almost $450 / mo. YES, you read that right. Now, I cannot verify her costs, but I can tell you that when I moved in to a 10 x 10 space, the cost was $89 / mo. In just over a year they have raised to cost to almost $200 / mo. More than double the cost in 1 year? After roughly 5 months it went to $134. This is a shame because I would have stayed in this unit for a decade. Based on my exponential calculations, the cost would be $102,400 / mo if they keep doubling it every year. I decided to get out. I met a nice couple when I moved out and mentioned the increases to them. The guy said to me, "Yeah, you need to move to a different unit every 6 months or you'll be in trouble." He was literally moving his boxes from one space to another one next to it. What? Maybe Public Storage Deerfield could have simply kept charging him the rate he was paying so he could avoid this hassle. I moved out a couple days into the month and had to online chat them since the 'on location' gentleman (who is nowhere to be found most of the time) told me he had to leave and go to the other location. He is never available, but suddenly became VERY available when I put a few things near the dumpster. He came up to me and said "Yeah there's no dumping in the dumpster. I saw you putting a few things there on my cameras." I replied, "I am a paying tenant right now." He said, "That's for me, not the tenants." Then he shared I would be charged $250 if I left the garbage by the dumpster. So I had to make another trip to gather that and take it away. He left and told me to close the account with chat since he didn't have time to do it. I cancelled with online chat and asked for a pro-rated refund for the remaining 27 days. They said no. I asked if there is anything they can do and they told me that it's in the contract, and they will not send any prorated refunds. Beware of this as well. You're better off finding a quality storage house that takes care of their customers and actually rewards them for paying and staying.

I've been a customer for about 8 years and have always found the personnel to be accommodating to my changing needs. I've had the pleasure of working with current manager Kathleen Grant for a while and she goes above and beyond to ensure I get the right space I need. She even informed me that I qualified for a senior discount, which I appreciated. I'll say one more thing. I use another local storage facility for vehicle storage. The facility itself and the staff is not up the same standard as Extra Space.

In the past, the office would accept deliveries and place them inside your storage unit. They no longer allow the office to accept ANY packages. FedEx and other delivery drivers also will not enter your individual unit to leave a package--I tried. I even spoke with corporate, and there is no workaround. So if you use your storage unit for any type of business or job function that requires receiving packages or deliveries, I highly recommend looking elsewhere. Other storage facilities in the area accept packages and will place them in your unit--and many are literally half the price. After more than 10 years as a customer, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. Hopefully this saves someone else the headache. You're welcome!

Never have I had an issue with this location until now.

All access is electronically controlled by PIN pads located throughout the building and each locker has a keyed padlock on it. Depending on your locker size you might get an individually monitored unit alarm, ours had it, smaller lockers might not. The entire building has tons of CCTV cameras located throughout and looks very secure against would be burglars. Cleanliness: Even the bathrooms are secured by PIN pad, if that doesn't tell you the place is kept extremely clean then I don't know what will. Everything is immaculate inside the building with the exception of some scuffs and scratches here and there from people recklessly careening through the halls with loading dollys. Price: I hear it already, I can hear the voices of people saying "that place is expensive" SHUT UP! You get what you pay for. If you want top tier storage with high security and climate control to guarantee that your sensitive vinyl record collection and high end computers stay safe during your move you're going to need a company like Safeguard. Bottom line: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Don't skimp on protecting your stuff if you have high value items. If you're just storing a bunch of boxes of clothes and general housewares you probably don't need a fancy storage provider with climate controlled indoor storage and can go for an outdoor locker. All that said, for what we were storing, records and high value computing and storage arrays along with a plethora of other sensitive electronics it was well worth the extra money knowing our stuff was safely stored under climate controlled lock and key. Location: It's right off the highway which makes it easy to get to with a large truck and their loading dock can accommodate most any truck you can throw at it. Loading Dock: An enclosed loading dock is a nice plus especially when it's suddenly started raining and you want to unload your truck into storage. Unloading dollies are provided and all were in good working order when I was there. Bottom Line: If you are looking for top notch storage this is your place. If you are storing low value items that don't need climate control then you might be better served elsewhere.
