Was intending to rent here. Asked on the phone about when the Internet promotional rate would end after I rented the unit and the person explained that it's unpredictable, though generally 3-to-5 months. It was frank but pretty curt. No worries, at least not at that point. I decided that I might rent the unit but for $665 a month, with the potential to increase to over $1,000 a month, I wanted to see the unit. I arrived seven minutes before closing (because my current storage location had just experienced a flood, I was looking pretty desperately for another solution, the office is closed tomorrow, and I'm dealing with wet stuff that has to be moved right now as in, starting this evening). On arrival however I discovered that the office staff at CubeSmart had already locked the office doors, at least seven minutes before closing. They did let me in (thank you) and I explained that I'd just like to see the 20x25 unit that was advertised. The office worker said "okay" and started to take me to it. She copied down the information, I followed her out the front door, and that's when the problem started. She looked back over her shoulder and said "we don't get many people showing up 7 minutes before closing and asking for a tour but ..." and waved her hand dismissively. I didn't take the bait but then she told me to get in my car and drive to the first stop sign and make a left and meet her at the other building. I didn't follow what she was saying because I didn't know there was another building. Then she got really short, acting annoyed that I couldn't follow her directions. I explained that I wasn't there for a tour, I just wanted to see the one unit that I was about to reserve online. I explained that the reason I was there was that I'd just come from another storage location that had experienced a flood. And she started saying something argumentative again, and at that point I said "forget it, the attitude is too bad here", and walked away. No apology from her or anything, no attempt to salvage the business deal, nothing. She simply went back into the office and locked the door. For 7,000+ a year, potentially rising to over $12,000 a year, I'm not dealing with rude office staff who don't want to be inconvenienced by having to reopen the office after they've closed it early. Yes it would have inconvenienced her for five or ten minutes. Sorry, but under the circumstances I really needed the help. Instead, I'll stick with my current storage solution, I don't want to deal with these people. My place might be more expensive, but I'd rather pay the money than deal with people like this. For CubeSmart management ... I've been at my current location for 14 years, and you just lost a potential long term customer who always pays on time, and who was ready to rent your largest unit within minutes of seeing it. Hire better staff. If I could give it a zero I would. Now that I see some of the other reviews here, I feel like I dodged a bullet. read more
