    I have three storage units with Public Storage and my experience has been as acceptable as it can be given this industries track record. Today, however, I arrived to access my new unit, and the only light bulb for this 12 x 20 storage unit is missing. Ok no big deal. It happens. I walk to the office and let them know that I can't put a new bulb in (which I don't mind paying for even though I shouldn't have to) because it's 10 feet up and I don't have a ladder with me. The guy tells me next time you're here with a bulb you can borrow ours. There's literally 3 or 4 things you guys need to do and that's provide access to the building, charge me for a lock that I already have, and provide an empty storage space that I can see inside of. You guys have no problem steadily increasing the rate month after month, or charging for a lock, or for mandating insurance, at least put the damn bulb in.

    Finally got rid of enough stuff to clear out and close the book on this chapter. Wanted to update this review as I've finally gotten rid of enough stuff to move outta this storage unit (over two years later). After writing my last review on this location, I've had only positive interactions with the various staff members here. Yes, there was the "negative" Brittany interaction. But Shawn, Danielle and now Heather have more than made up for that experience. Recently, Heather has helped reshape my vision of how this organization operates. I have greatly appreciated her helpful and informative responses to questions that I've had about closing out the use of my unit. There were plenty. She didn't make anything up and was very matter of fact about the process and if they could make any exceptions along the way. Was very straight forward and friendly at the same time. Anyway, it sounded as if they were low on available units. As of today, they'll have one more. Go chat with Heather in the office if you have any questions. If needed, I'd use them again. Keep on Yelp'n!

    This location charged me $25 for a lock that I don't need. You can either use your own cylinder lock or buy one from them no exceptions.

    Finally got around to writing the review. We used them to temporarily store items for my student in…read morebetween dorm and apartment. It's all true, they're the closest storage to UCSD campus. If you need storage for the summer, call early because they fill fast. Luckily, I started calling around several weeks before end-of-school and was able to the get the size I wanted. They have an elevator with carts for units on the second floor. Front office staff is friendly (constantly offered us water bottles even though we never took advantage, we appreciated the gesture). Once you have your unit and key, easy access by gate code during open hours so mostly self-service. With a student in the area for a few more years, it's nice to know we have this option for another move when needed.

I told LaShonda what I needed and she was quick with some general questions to better understand my needs. She drove myself and my daughter to the unit while continuing with details. Very informative but also efficient. My 7 year old was with me and I appreciate LaShonda patience the entire time. We ended renting a 10x10 but I also asked for a bottom unit. Lashonda was quick to look up availability and found some potential move out units near my expected move in date. The entire transaction was approximately 45 minutes but it felt faster. Happy we stopped by and the reviews from Yelp certainly lived up to its expectations. I will update after we move in our stuff.

    I cannot say enough good things about this storage facility! The young lady that helped me sign up…read moresign in almost 2 years ago was amazing. Unfortunately I do not recall her name at this moment, but I will say this recently Andre. And made such a big difference in my life. I've suffered a traumatic brain injury therefore things such as payment, especially when I've had to cancel credit cards escape me reoccurring payments. They are always so kind to call me and remind me. The other day, my truck was broken into all of my cards were stolen, and Andre went way his way to call me and ask if there was could do to help. Let me know how many days I had before a late charge was going to be incurred. Even followed up later in the day at the time that I requested and called me to assist me in filling out the paperwork that I was able to pay my storage with. He sent me paperwork to where I could put it through my bank account because I no longer had access to any credit cards or my bank card and I'm currently in Mexico when this happened. Without that I would've had late fees. always so personable and so helpful when I forget they'll send follow up emails and they'll call and remind me. As a person with ADA issues, I am ever so grateful when I can find a business that has the courtesy and the understanding that San Diego self has shown me over the last two years. As for the facility, it's clean knee which is definitely helpful during the summer when I'm moving things in and out. Thank you, Andre and thank you San Diego self Storage. You definitely deserve five star rating!

I've had my stuff here for two years, twice I've moved my stuff to smaller units to save money and Every time I did that, they just increased the rent on my new unit.

    I strongly advise anyone looking for storage to avoid this facility. My experience has been a…read morenightmare due to their poor management, inadequate equipment, and dishonest billing practices. 1. Facility Negligence and Flood Damage: After only a week of renting, a pipe burst, causing a massive flood in my unit. Nearly all my belongings--including my television, mattress, magazines, notes, and a wooden-framed wedding photo--were soaked and had to be discarded. Instead of taking accountability, management tried to hide evidence by avoiding email communication and only using phone calls. They acted as if allowing me to transfer to another unit was a favor, while offering zero compensation for my destroyed property. 2. Additional Financial Burden: Due to this flood, my movers had to spend an extra 1.5 hours re-packing and moving my items. This cost me an additional $180 ($120/hour) out of pocket, not to mention the income I lost from missing work due to the delay. They also claimed they "offered" free boxes to help, which is a lie--no one mentioned this, and I had to pay the moving company for supplies myself. 3. Insurance Evasion: I paid for their insurance for May. When the flood occurred on May 28th, they refused to process my claim, forcing me to use my own policy despite the fact that I had already paid for theirs. They essentially took my money for coverage they refused to honor when I actually needed it. 4. Deceptive Billing and Predatory Price Hikes: Their pricing is a trap. I was promised a two-month 50% promotional discount, but they charged me the full amount for June anyway. Most outrageously, by the fifth month, they suddenly increased my rent from $152 to $220/month. I later spoke to an elderly tenant who also complained about being blindsided by these sudden, aggressive price hikes. Do not be fooled by their website prices. This company is unprofessional, unreliable, and predatory. Save yourself the stress and financial loss--look elsewhere for storage.

This response was led by the district manager, Frankie, and the vice president, Dana, in late October 2025. It took two months to speak to either of them upon request, and the issue had to be escalated. There's email documentation of my requests to speak with them from Ron and Aza, both of whom work at the facility. I also have video footage from when I first witnessed the break-in. One of the employees was so appalled that he offered to help me pick up the pieces while on the job. Ultimately, I wanted to know what the company would do about the situation, as I did not feel comfortable making payments after the break-in. I expressed the damage caused and the effects of poor management. This company is a poor representation of customer service and care. Legal action is pending because I've visited their facility multiple times and seen the gate open after hours, compromising security. They have terrible surveillance and none in the hallways of the storage units. It's very poorly run and managed. They seemed to care little about the break-in. My experience with Frankie was disappointing; she was insincere about my situation and did nothing to resolve my needs. The same applied to Dana, who sided with Frankie after filing a complaint and disregarded my concerns entirely. I regret storing my belongings here and plan to leave as soon as possible. My advice is to avoid this company. Dana did nothing but support Frankie during our call after I took more time out of my day to explain the discrepancy. She claimed to be seeking a resolution but offered absolutely nothing. The only thing she did was side with her employee, which is unfortunate. This has been the worst display of customer service I have ever witnessed. She had nothing to offer for a resolution. This matter was escalated multiple times, and I filed a complaint against Frankie for her poor display of customer service and utter insincerity in the way she spoke to me. Now my complaint extends to both Frankie and Dana for their poor customer service and care. This company ought to be ashamed of itself. Dana actually said, "you can move out if you want." Such a terrible display of customer service. Stay away from this place.
