TERRIFIC storage location. Clean, helpful staff, and safe. I was also impressed by the warmth and pleasant energy from the other clients (a vital aspect of a good storage unit given the amount of time you spend there). I need to give a special shoutout to Diamond - one of the location's managers. Her kindness was essential as I worked through the complexities of moving. All the more, her knowledge of all the company's policies was essential when my situation became more complicated due to the passing of my parents and the accumulation of additional items. Over the course of my time renting a unit I felt as though this location was a second home of sorts - a dimension I was not expecting from a public storage space. Rent from the Ashland location! You won't regret it! read more

EMMA/LC is running a scam using your address. Sending consumers cheap iphone charger instead of the items they order.

When I first put my stuff in my unit 2yrs ago, I had no problem. Quarterly I would check on it. 2yrs years later, we go to take everything out and close the unit out. We see across from my unit the storage door snd floor had roaches outside the door. Also the Storage company should have gave us the customers a courtesy notification that they were repairing/replacing the ceiling. Whoever fixed it broke some of our items and they knocked our stuff up against the door from the inside. It took us 30mins to get in the unit . And then had the nerve to $14 out my account. The customer service was good. read more

this is a greedy and unscrupulous company. Their rental fees are classic bait and switch. I started off paying around $70 a month and ended up having to pay over $125 per month after a year without any changes to the space or access to it. For that amount of money, one would think that we could have better access. However, their hours of access are basically office hours. their elevators don't work half the time either. Since it cost too much for the tiny space I was in, I decided to move out. However, when I moved out on 4 June, I was charged for the entire month. Asking for a prorated rental fee for the month was unacceptable to the manager and I was charged for the entire month. They even went so far as to claim that I moved out the day after I did. I have no reason why they would do something so petty, but I do know that I left the space clean and clear, and it was easily rentable for the next tenant. Beware of their price gouging tactics! read more

Total scam. TOTAL scam. My unit rate started at $107, 6 months later they raised it to $150. At 11 months they raised it to $190. Seriously, do not rent with them. Their reasoning? Inflation. Then they will tell you that you can call and request financial hardship, but they will deny you. read more

This place is an absolute rip off to rent storage from. What started out as 28 bucks a month quickly jumped up to more. Then more. THE GOOD OL BAIT AND SWITCH TACTIC. The doors are always broken at my facility and that means they leave them wide open all day and night. The first time it was broken it was literally a year before they fixed it. Then of course during that time they changed the hours you were allowed to go to your unit. This last time I went to my unit I ended up rearranging things to make more room and there was 4 brown larvae things under my stuff. There was a dead roach in front of a door down the way a little ways and big nice and fat brown recluse hanging on the wall right by me. As I was leaving there were roaches darting across the floor in front of me. NASTY! The only thing that keeps me here is the fact I can't afford to pay the fees and stuff associated with leasing storage elsewhere. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO GO AND READ THE LEASE AGREEMENT YOU SIGNED...SPECIFICALLY ALL THE SMALL PRINT. IT'S HIGHWAY ROBBERY 101. AND VERY VERY SNEAKY. read more

I definitely want to recommend this location for anyone looking for storage options and customer service. Two days in a row, I visited this location and was completely overwhelmed by the series of events that made my move difficult. Amanda went above and beyond to help me by showing me other spaces because I thought the one I rented was too small..it wasn't, but, she was patient with me and obliged my request. So many people were moving in at the same time and it was chaos beyond belief. Amanda was empathetic to our frustration and offered helpful suggestions for our move. read more

Lynette was super helpful and knowledgeable! She helped me get a last minute unit fast and efficiently!!

They were very helpful thanks to all the employees that meet and spoke with you all was great

Frozen pipe burst. Damaged 3k in books and items. Refused to pay. Pee poor CS. They called several times a day while I was at work seeking same answer given multiple times. Arrogant upper management. Nice local workers. Stay away. read more

Maria helped me incredibly!!! She is the best!! She was very kind and nice! She even helped me when she was supposed to be in lunch break. I will definitely recommend this location to my friends and family! This was my first time trying public storage and she helped me every step of the way! Such a hard worker!!! read more

Do you really want a storage unit you can only access until 6 PM weekdays? Public Storage steadily jacks up the price of your unit every 6 months, far out of step with market forces. After I had my 7.5x10" unit on an upper floor for six months, they increased my rent from $79 to $92 (a 16% increase). Six months later, they increased it to $105 (another 18% of the original rate). One-year expected cost for my unit was $948, which is high enough as it is. At this new rate, one-year costs will be $1,260. That's $312 more than I expected to be paying, and 34% above the original rate. What really burns is that, every time I check, this public Storage facility on Ashland (where I rent my unit) has units of the same size listed for $79. I suppose I could transfer into it (while incurring a move-in fee that would initially mitigate my savings), moving my stored stuff from one unit into another one of the exact same size and relative convenience. But that is a pain and Public Storage knows it, and banks on it. Should i really have to undertake such a pointless maneuver just to get the fair price i was paying at the beginning? Every time you enter Public Storage, you type in an access code. I am sure Public Storage checks to see how often you visit your unit, and if a good block of time has gone by, they will raise your rent a great deal because they figure you are out of town and have no choice but to pay what they demand. Theoretically, they could double your rent while you are studying in Germany or deployed in Afghanistan. People needing long - term storage should take that into account carefully. I would even recommend you have a good friend use your code at the storage facilitate periodically, so it is less obvious that you are a helpless target who can be forced to pay for arbitrary increases. A while ago, I complained to the manager about my rising rent, who told me to contact the headquarters. Headquarters told me that the rent is market-rate, and I should contact the manager for more information. Collectively. With both ends of the business telling me to take it up with the other, Public storage blew off my concerns. And no, I do not think the market for storage increased 33% in one year. Chatting with another customer at Public Storage, i learned they use "market rates" to justify increases, but rent only moves in one direction: up, not down. My last straw came a few days ago when I got an email from Public Storage saying the hours in which I can access my unit had been changed. It had been from early morning to night, and was being changed to just 8 AM to 6 PM, starting in just a few weeks. That's a pretty big modification of how the business operates, and it means most people can only visit their units on weekends. I'll be moving out of my unit soon. $1,260 is just too much to pay for storage in a dirty facility that I can't even access when I need to, and I expect that cost to continue to rise, so i may as well cut my losses. I put up fliers in my neighborhood asking if someone has a dry basement or corner of a garage where I can store some things for $50 a month (paid up front, for six months), and got a ton of replies already. I bet if you try that, you will too. Also, the insurance policy that Public Storage makes you buy is garbage. It costs $10 a month and only insures your stored stuff. I got a 1-year renter's policy that covers both my stored stuff AND the stuff in my apartment, up to $40,000, for just $200 for the whole year. My whole family is insured for the stuff in our home - our computers, beds, wardrobes, bikes, etc, ALONG WITH our stored belongings, for a little bit more than what PS tried to sell me which would only cover what is in the storage unit. I recall when I got quotes for my renter's policy, $10,000 in coverage was about $12 a month. Get a renter's policy and say not to Public Storage's awful insurance. read more

As this is my first time scheduling a storage unit, Ms. Sharniece, the manager, was terrific: professional, helpful, and friendly! She diligently followed up prior to our scheduled meeting and when I visited and helped me find the right storage unit based on my specific needs. Kudos to Sharniece! read more

Infested with roaches - do not store your belongings here. If you have no other option ask for a unit on the upper levels and put everything in plastic storage bins that close securely. It's gross. There are roaches all over in the basement. When they come out with the lights on you know there's a problem. read more

Excellent customer service! Rafael was extremely friendly and helpful. Explained contracts and facilities thoroughly.

I was forced to put my things into storage at the last minute, due to an inconsiderate tenant who refused to vacate the apartment I'd rented. I scrambled to find a storage site that was near the neighborhood where I was supposed to move and luckily, I found this Public Storage. I was greeted and helped by Rafael, who took his time showing me multiple units to see which one would be the best fit for all of my belongings. He was patient and curteous the entire time, and was super quick during check out. Upon moving in, Hector was so kind and his playful attitude really helped to brighten my mood. I appreciated his jokes and banter and also his helpfulness in providing extra things I needed to clear out my U-Haul truck. I have finally moved into my apartment, but without the help of these guys at Public Storage, my day would have been a lot worse! read more

I would recommend this Public Storage location. They have reasonable prices for the space you get. Sharniece showed me several options until I found what worked best for me. She provided great customer service and explained everything thoroughly. Glad I went with this company and this location. read more

Renting a storage unit is often necessary during transitionary times like moving, so it's great that these guys make it easy because moving sucks enough already! Hector and Brianne were very helpful and everything went smoothly! My storage unit had a large window and a beautiful view of the sunset over the west side, which I'm sure my desk and couch and books enjoyed very much during their stay. read more

Pina was awesome. Helpful, friendly, and very professional. The guy that woks there (I didn't get his name) but, I witnessed him helping others, and he seemed like a nice guy as well. read more

Just moved out of my 1 bedroom apartment with too much stuff. I found the manager Hector to be very helpful. He has been proactive in contacting me to let me know that I had an overdue bill, and is quick to offer suggestions for making your move-in and storage experience a little less painful, as moving is always such a joy ... read more

We moved from AZ to IL last year, and used this location to store all our stuff while looking for a house. Right off the bat, Rafael was a breath of fresh air. He took the time to show us all the different units available and answer all our questions. The facility was spotless, safe, and the staff up front were always super friendly. The nicest thing was that Rafael would greet us by name every time we came to the storage unit. He really takes the time to get to know his customers. That's more customer service than we ever expected at a storage facility. You guys are awesome! read more

Rented a medium sized storage unit here. Rafael and Hector were super friendly and helpful! There are 5 floors and a basement level. Rafael moved me from the basement to the 5th floor for just $12 more for my rental period. Would gladly recommend this place to friends and family. read more

Ms Creshona Harris was very profession as well as being efficient and courtesy big ups

Tim & Creshona were very helpful as well as knowledgeable about my storage needs! I've encouraged my aunt & uncle to store with this specific location. I'm very happy and pleased read more

I've used storage in the past and it can be a cold experience literally and figuratively. However, my experience here was pleasant from the start thanks to one of the managers, Rafael. He provided very good customer service from the start and made moving in and all the paperwork much more enjoyable. Good service is expected when you first sign papers but each time I returned to the unit, he exemplified excellent service. He was helpful and when moving a few items on multiple visits he even helped me with a few of the heavier boxes. If good service and clean units are important to you this is the place. read more

Hector and Rafael were incredibly helpful and friendly to my friend and I when we went in recently. They were very attentive to our needs, and always had a good attitude about helping us. I am going to recommend this location to my friends and colleagues if they need storage solutions. Thank you so much, Public Storage and especially HECTOR AND RAFAEL!!! read more

I called a couple of times before finally getting around to heading out to the facility and each person that I talked to was very friendly. Tim was the guy that helped my check in and was very thorough with the rental contract. Prices here were -so- much cheaper than in the city and it only takes us about 15 minutes to get there. Good place! read more

I walked into public storage to ask questions about the rate that they have for a smaller unit and the young lady name Kathy was the best!! She ask me some questions and before I left I knew what size I needed I'm moving in a month but when I come back I know who to ask for Thanks Kathy your the best!!! read more

Public Storage forces you to purchase their $18 lock while at the same time, many of their other clients are allowed to bring their own locks from home. Talk about a scam. I'm so glad I don't have to do business with them any more. I hate doing business with people who do not know how to treat their customers. read more

The employees here are very nice and friendly especially Raphael. We moved to Jersey City for a job and needed to put some of the contents of our 1 bedroom apartment into storage. The ONLY reason I am giving this a bad review is because we moved in November 2011. It is now June of 2013. Our rent for our 10X10 space has risen twice in a year and a half. When we first rented the unit we wanted to pay less than $100 a month in rent for storage. Our unit was $91, then there was a $12 increase to $103, and then a $14 increase to $117. The prices are rising and each time the percentage is more. We might be in Jersey City longer than we thought, so at the rate we're going in a year or two our rent could be $200 or more. You would think that the longer you stay with a company the better they would treat you, but it seems to be the opposite in the storage business. My husband and I are now looking to move to a better storage company or at least take a lot of our stuff out and move the remainder to a much smaller unit within the building. read more

So far I'm impressed with Public Storage at this location. Elaine really helped me and she answered all of my questions! Very professional and the facility is clean! read more

We store a travel trailer here and Hector and Rafael are terrific. They made move-in easy and are very helpful.

Very nice to.work.with..good storage location nice staff...forgot their names...but very helpful...I think it was Hector

I moved in today to a storage unit at this location. The staff there was friendly and respectful. Pina helped me out, showed me where my unit was, and walked me through all the details of renting a storage unit at this location. I would definitely recommend them to others. read more

Hector at the front desk was awesome. Helped me make sure we got the correct space. Definitely recommend it.

My company has used this facility for over 5 years and it has been a very good experience. Rafael and Hector, the two employees who manage this storage plant are helpful, friendly, and always ready to serve our needs and or any complaints we might have from time to time. It is well lit and secure. Over the years I have recommended this storage location to others. read more

This is not my first time using Public Storage and so far this location is the best. Pina was very friendly and it's a good location. I have no complaints especially since they redid the restroom. read more
