**Horrible Experience at Public Storage on Shetter Ave - Stay Away!**
We had an absolutely shocking and unsettling experience at Public Storage on Shetter Ave, and we would strongly advise anyone to stay far away from this location. Here's our story:
We reserved a unit online, expecting a simple check-in process. However, when we arrived, the office was closed, we arrived after 6, and we couldn't figure out how to get into the building, The gate code, texted to us, didn't work, fortunately, another customer behind us, let us in, while driving by we noticed a few folks. We asked if they knew our units location, they informed us we were at the 200s, and that our unit was in that area, we got out of our car and walked around, in hopes of finding our unit on our own, as we walked into the 200s building, The night manager popped out from a closed unit, we found this odd, an extension cord ran from the wall outlet to her unit, phones were plugged in, there was a chair at the door in the beginning of the hallway, She opened her unit said her name was Pat, and that she was the night manager, then a small black man came in behind us and addressed the night manager as Naomi!, which was it? we stood there wondering what we got ourselves into, did we get set up to be robbed? had that vibe. So the
woman who popped out from inside the completely closed unit. At first, she introduced herself as *Pat*, the night manager. However, as we tried to clarify a few things, we heard another person call her "Naomi," which immediately confused us. Was she *Pat* or *Naomi*? We had no idea who we were dealing with.
The property manager we dealt with was a Tall African woman.
as Naomi (or Pat) addressed our concerns, and questions, she was rude and dismissive, we asked if she knew anything about our reservation. (our heads were spinning) But the situation quickly escalated when we noticed some very disturbing things in the unit she was in. Firstly, she openly prepared a marijuana cigarette in front of us while sitting on a made bed! There was a strong, unpleasant odor coming from the side building, where a homeless man had clothing, dirty, filthy clothing scattered all over the floor, blocking the side entrance, when we walked over to investigate, the smell only got worse. It was overwhelming.
As we got closer, we saw Naomi (or Pat, we still weren't sure) sitting next to a bag in her/a unit. The bag contained several bottles of urine, which was disgusting. To make matters worse, Naomi (or Pat) was openly preparing drugs in front of us, which was both disturbing and dangerous. We were completely shocked by the situation.
When we decided to leave and get out of there, we witnessed Naomi (or Pat) again--this time pouring urine down a public sewage drain right outside the building. We could smell it as we drove by, we didn't realize we wouldn't be able to get out of the exit gate without a code. Finally, someone other than the people we encountered let us follow them out. The whole thing felt surreal and unsafe. We couldn't believe we were witnessing all of this at a supposedly professional storage facility.
On top of everything, homeless individuals were loitering around the property, in various places in, the 200s building, drinking alcohol and smoking. It made us feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. Honestly, we have no idea how this place is still in business with everything we saw.
We strongly recommend that you *avoid* this Public Storage location at all costs. The unprofessionalism, the disturbing activities, and the unsafe environment are all red flags. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else to store your things. This place is a nightmare.
Stay far away from this location! read more
