******THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU MOVE YOUR BELONGINGS TO THIS STORAGE FACILITY*****
Here are some other options: EXTRA SPACE STORAGE, nearby, pay your friends to keep your stuff, get rid of your stuff, search craigslist for storage units, etc, etc, but NOT this one!!!!!!!!
I just moved out of this unit (last week) because someone broke a hole through the Drywall that separates my unit from the next one, and they broke another hole through a nearby unit as well. (the gentleman next to my unit lost many valuable tools)
Friday of the previous week, right before my work started, I received a call to come and verify "that all my belongings were still in my unit." This freaked me out so much, and the site manager over the phone would not tell me what had happened, creating more anxiety. Telling me that the "(phone) "lines were sensitive". ????????????? I was forced to leave work, and lose almost $100 doing so, not to mention possibly losing more future work The entire experience was very scary and traumatic, and I got my belongings out of there as soon as I could. (I formerly rented with Public Storage in another state, and one time, the manager called me and said "your lock is not on properly", but the on-site managers at this particular Public Storage are not straight up.
When the on-site manager told me that I "needed to come down to {the storage facility} as soon as possible", she also mentioned that "we have security cameras". The only security cameras I have ever seen are outside the buildings. NO SECURITY CAMERAS IN THE BUILDINGS.
To summarize, the whole experience caused me to: lose money from not working, miss a going away party for some good friends, and took time away from other important opportunities. (From having to spend much time to move my belongings).
Naturally, I knew that if I chose to stay they would just give me another unit where this same thing could happen once again. Plus, after sharing my story with other tenants they told me of scary situations they have witnessed in the evenings at their storage unit including people wandering the hallways at night but not going to any unit. (obviously waiting to break into units when the coast was clear). Many units have space between the dividing wall and the ceiling so if a person really wanted to climb over, they probably could. (My unit did not have this)
Overall, I did not receive any sympathy at all from the on-site manager for this paticulatr situation, or when I was stuck in an elevator on the premises for 2 hours.
Their outgoing message says, "we care about your business". Yes, they care about your money, but not you. The District Manager whom I spoke with never did anything to compensate me for my loss of time, money, and huge inconveniences. NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH!!!!!
