If you are in the Merrifield area and looking for a storage unit this this Public Storage is a great choice and the price is right. It's on Lee Hwy just west of the Merrifield Post Office. I worked with Shawn for check in. Shawn explained all the rules, what to do and what not to do, ie. no storing anything flammable, or food products. Sounds logical but sometimes when your packing quickly things get overlooked. They will sell you a lock for your unit if you need one. They also have a variety of moving and packing supplies for sale right in the office if you need them for packing your storage unit. The place is well lit at night. Individual security codes for the gate to get to your unit. So far so good. read more

Other than the price, this place is awful. There is literally no one in the office, they make you talk into a video for every single thing and there is no real help with anything at all. They force you to use their insurance and their locks (for hefty fees), you then have to go through a whole separate exercise to return the lock and remove the insurance which takes time and multiple calls (remember they have no staff there). The units I saw were not climate controlled, and the condition of the units themselves were awful - walls looked fragile, pieces of cardboard lying around, limited parking by the storage units. Would not choose again! read more

I moved into 2 units last year. They have since raised my monthly rent 2 times to about double the amount that I agreed to when I moved in. I will now have to move all of our stuff to a different storage company, and I am furious. You can't speak with any person about it in-person or online (their chat bot tells you they have high volume all the time so they can't transfer to an agent). Most scam-like behavior I've experienced in a while. Extremely disappointed. read more

I brought home a mouse when I brought home my boxes so that was gross. Tysons corner fscility

This Public Storage location is a mess. There's no one on-site during office hours, nor do they return phone calls. Not sure what all the positive reviews are about unless customers were asked to provide a positive review in exchange for some underhanded offer. At any rate, you're out of luck if you have any questions or encounter any issues with your storage unit. AVOID this location. read more

So far, I'm pleased with my experience with Public Storage. I found a deal online and there are multiple locations. Monthly fee even sported, which many storage places don't do. Easy access and payment with app. Only downside was no dolly when I needed it one day and no one in office during time someone should have been there at that time. read more

Well priced and managed and a good central location. People on the site were helpful and friendly.

They surely send enough email and trying to charge here there for all cost. They will charge you for$19.99 for using their lock. That isn't the issue. When I got there, NOBODY was at the office to guide what so ever and gate Code did NOT even work!! Their office number has the recording and no point for leaving any message because there isn't anybody at the office. I had a final call corporation number in California, after I struggled panic for hr while moving truck is awaiting, time is ticking, had to pay them more than what it suppose to cost because of gate wasn't opening!! F***! 2nd floor moving, elevator is a super slow and storage space actually do not have lights so bring your own flashlight or something. This movement was definitely not when smooth as I would expect and tiredly not recommended at all! read more

I used this Public Storage location for about a year and had a great experience. I lived nearby in the Mosaic District and this unit was just up the road. In fact, there were 2 Public Storages closer (1 minute drive vs 3 minute drive) but this one has the best price. Check in was easy, move in was easy. There are elevators and carts to help you move your items in. The facility meets expectations in cleanliness, security, etc. If you live in an apartment and have renters insurance (I had State Farm) you should already have insurance to over your unit, no need to buy theirs. I would recommend to anyone in the area to store your items here. read more

I came here not too long ago for a storage unit hoping for a $1 special. There was also a one-time fee of like $20 to get setup. Ok no big deal, this was the same price I got from another public storage a little further away from me. But the lady I said they have special locks and I would have to get 1 from them, for $19. I said I come in the next day. When I came the next day, there was a gentleman there. He told me I would have to purchase 2 locks, not 1, b/c the unit required 2 (This is not what the lady told me the day before). Then he said, if you buy the insurance, he will give the lock to me for free. RIGHT. Sounded like he was doing everything in his power to upsell me extra crap I didn't need. At this point, I was already there with my stuff so I didn't want to go to the other location, so I just paid it. I didn't like his tone or the way he basically forced me to buy insurance. So now I have these 2 stupid locks I have no use for. If you ever plan to get a storage unit here, I will sell them to you cheaper than the $19 each they sell them for. And I'm close to the location. Just message me. read more

Public Storage - These are the special locks they sell you at $19 each. I will sell them to you cheaper if you need them. Just message me. - Self Storage Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Worse storage service ever. Showed up and no one was there code didn't work for the unit. No one answered phone or called back.

this place gets a zero in my book. the staff is stupid. the place is a shit hole. fuck this specific location. Not all of them are bad many public srorage facilities rank 5... but this one off 29 between cedar and gallows is hands down worse than construction site porta john with for a high rise and there os only one. I have never experience such horrible fucking service. the bitch on the phone who located me at this shit hole lied said it was temp controlled it is not. it appears to be some one on site ... they are necer there, necer pick up the phone. you serve yourself. hand carts always gone. nothing is in order. the lady at the tv kiosk (they so lazy cant even roll out of bed) tells me well if there no carts then tgat facility doesnt have any... stupid bitch its storage facility. what facilty doesnt have cart. Elevator broke they dont know i called them to tell them... bathroom only for staff.. listen to a renter tell me she drove 3 hours then loaded her unit couldnt use bathroom. about 4 of 5 tenants all complained to me when i asked... had 4 kiosk people hand up on me because i demanded to use the bathroom. then they had thd nerve to bribe me to come to use bathroom at another facility bc its nicer... told them all to f off dont be mad when i crap in front office door. then the stupid facility lazy ass manager shows up like he going to do something. f you dude. put u in your place any day. wants to tell me how they are privilaged yo use the bathroom but paging customers cant. i didnt budge from my position he left tail tucked. only amazing person i delt with was a woman tgat came with the manager and she is from the facility across from home depo in merrifield. she is amazing wonderful and woukd use her facility also the one off gallows across uniques. anotger amazing female run facility. great job ladies. f u dude. and all the kiosl people.... goto hell! read more

Horrible!! They have a horrible manager that does not care about his customers only about the bottom line!! His Name is Mr. Sal Costanzo, asked him for a favor and he didn't even give me the time of day. He claims to be all about the customers, but in reality is not true. They charge ridiculous fees left and right! Stay away from This Storage Business! There are a lot more and way better than this! read more

Ordered space online. Arrived in the evening to unload a 15 foot truck. The space the reservation gave us had a lock on it. We had to turn around and go back home. We had to pay an extra day for the truck rental. The next morning the woman got a huge attitude with me when I told her we couldn't unload the truck because there was a lock on the door. She said she'd go check the space around noon. When I said we couldn't sit around for hours waiting for her to check she hung up on me. I called back and she hung up again. When she did go check the space she confirmed that it had a lock on it and she removed it. She then said corporate would not pay for the extra day we had to pay for the truck. She had a huge attitude. They never even apologized for their error or apologized for us having to take an extra day off from work to unload. I will never rent a space from them again. It's better to rent from a place that actually has an attendant there on site. read more

my first time using public storage.. it s#%ks.. the manager working their has nothing to do with his job. dont care for customers, dont give a crqp about anything basically. i waited to get an email for the gate access code for 3hrs. then the code wont work at the gate. called them 4 times to reset it and then the manager said , please come to the office which is q mile from the storage to get a nee code. ahh what? its a 6 digit code, you need my kidney for that? wasted 1more hour to try to fix it with customer service, and paid extra to my contractors for waiting. worst storage experience.. i would now rather rent a uhaul one way and you will get a free storage with it. read more

Great location next my house in the mosaic, people there are friendly and willing to help. I have been there for 3 years and I had one small issue and it was fixed right away. read more

Great Service! We worked with Mary to check in and go over the paper work. She was a delight and very helpful during the whole process. The check-in was a breeze. We went over the forms, looked over our storage unit and got the keys. I took a star off because there were a few metal wall frames (the 2x4 ones) were bent out of shape and the concrete floor had the residual stains from some old oil/grease leakage. read more

You can never get ahold of the store manager if you have a question. Several times the person working there has been very rude to me and my wife. When we first got the storage unit it was at a fair price but they continue to raise the price. They do not keep the storage unit ventilated like they say they do. Summer it is really hot and winter really cold. There is a hole in on storage unit wall that if someone took the time they could break in it and steal our stuff. read more

This was the closest to my house and I had to get boxes for moving out last week or so. Girl up front (Alex?) was helpful and quick. Helped me take some boxes to my car because I kept dropping them. Thank you for your kindness. read more

Had an excellent experience while setting up my storage rental. Found an excellent online deal, and Yahya was professional with setting it all up. Clear communication, instructions, and service. Highly recommended. read more

Helpful and courteous, we got set-up our first day with a new lock $20, and insurance for $11/month. They said these were required. Plus an administrative fee of $24/month to open the account. All things considered, with the first month at $1 special didn't feel like complaining about it and still got the first month with all the extra charges for about 25% of monthly cost. Rental unit was a large drive up and clean and easy to access. I had to cancel my card I gave them for payment and forgot to tell them but they gave me a courtesy call to remind me payment was due and I could change the card online. They didn't have to do that. Nice gesture to avoid the late fee. Overall the service is good and people friendly. Location easy to access. Extra charges I think are just the business. Get over it for the $1 first months rent people. read more

The storage space was minimally acceptable and there is absolutely no customer service provided. The manager's office is almost always empty. I scheduled a move-out date well in advance and then removed all of my stuff before that date. I was also able to speak with the manager at one point and I let her know of my move-out. Now, Public Storage is saying that a 'scheduled move-out date' and an empty storage unit are not enough and they are trying to charge me for another month, even though I have an email from them verifying my move-out date. I called to get them to cease their emails and sat on the phone for 24 minutes without any answer from the customer service team. I later called back, calling the new rentals number. I got someone to answer that call within 20 seconds because it was potential new business for them. I then asked to be transferred to customer service. I waited for a few minutes and eventually spoke with someone. They told me that I had been moved out on 7/8/21 which was the day I complained via their online feedback form. So total failure from end to end. I recommend using any other storage company with a better rating. Good luck. read more

I've had many storages in my life and acquiring this one was the most pleasant. Quick and simple online reservation. They have many specials like first month $1! When I arrived at the property Samina was very courteous, helpful and patient while trying to accommodate our needs. Thanks for caring. read more

Came in for supplies for helping a friend move; staff was cordial and helpful in getting me the items I needed (appropriately-sized boxes, tape, staple gun, etc), and prices seemed pretty reasonable on the whole. Good location doesn't hurt either - give it a go, and ask for Shane. read more

Customer service means adaptation to the customers needs. Sourab embodied this perfectly. He was able to help us out with a special request to store our mo-ped for the winter in a smaller unit. He made the process easy and was very clear in how he explained the lease and the necessary policies. He was friendly, personable, and made our experience enjoyable. Very grateful that we chose this location. Thank you! read more

Very disappointed. Terrible customer service. Faculties are old and poorly maintained. Moved out prior to end of contract. Provided verbal notice to on site manager. Manager did not close my account and is charging me fraudulent fees for days I did not rent or use the unit. Manager now refuses to return my phone calls. Extremely dissatisfied, do not recommend. read more

I chose this location as it is near to my house. Teresa, who helped me with selecting a unit and signing paper, was friendly and helpful. She explained about the billing information clearly to me before I signed the paper. She also let me see a couple units first so I could compare and select the one that works best for me. Big THANK YOU to you, Teresa! You're awesome! read more

Very good customer service by sourab manager on duty well informed highly recommend this property

I have a unit here, and had to move across country on short notice. Once I moved, I gave notice to the property to terminate my lease by leaving a message in their voice mail (the contract said termination notice could be verbal). Nobody bothered to call me back until AFTER my credit card was charged. Multiple attempts to contact someone, anyone at the property all resulted in voice mail - nobody ever picked up the phone. I blocked their attempts to charge my credit card because at this point they were in breach of contract. Corporate has been even worse - I call for people and they send me to other people's voice mail or just disconnect me, people say they'll call back and never do. If I can get anyone to talk to me they just complain they were stuck in traffic and that's why they couldn't call me back. Well, it's been nearly a week since the most recent person I spoke with promised to call me back - nobody is stuck in traffic for a week! read more
