I've had nothing but issues at this location. I had three units in this facility and I used it for one of my businesses that operated in downtown silver spring before covid. Unfortunately the place has gone downhill (dirty, closes early, rats, mice, and insects) and the management has gotten worse and worse. The manager Ben continues to make up his own hours and harasses customers who need to get into their units. I asked for the district managers information, but was refused the info. I was literally yelled at and screamed at by the manager on several occasions. I eventually moved all my stuff out in Easter Sunday and Monday. I couldn't take the constant unprofessional and inappropriate actions by the on site manager. I have used the tech road and laurel locations without issue, but this one has to be the worst. I have the manager on video screaming and cursing. But I am. It sure who I should report this issue to in the company. They should know who they have in control at this location. They are loosing money everyday. I literally spoke to three people moving out for the same reasons.

I appreciate your response, but I need to clarify a few points for accuracy. At no point did I…read morerefuse to pay for services rendered--what I objected to was the lack of professionalism, last-minute changes, and misrepresentation of the job despite providing an inventory in advance.Your team arrived late and attempted to upsell, which created unnecessary stress and forced me to rent a truck myself in order to complete the move. This was not an issue of "budget," but rather of expectations set by your company not being met. Customers should be able to rely on a moving service to honor the scheduled time, come prepared, and communicate honestly. Unfortunately, that did not happen here. What's more telling is that several other reviews describe the same experience I had--so this isn't an isolated issue. Instead of addressing that pattern, your assumption is that I "couldn't afford the move"... interesting. While I understand setbacks can occur, dismissing concerns by blaming the customer is not good business practice. My review reflects my experience so that future customers can make informed decisions.

They got back to me super fast, gave a great quote, and were really easy to work with. The move had a couple stops and a lot of moving parts, but they handled it all like pros. Super friendly, super efficient, and just made the whole thing way less stressful. Highly recommend if you need movers who actually care and get the job done right.

Although customer service experience at the location has been pleasant, the overall experience…read moredealing with this company has been detrimental due to their abusive corporate decisions. In the course of 2 years, company decided to raise my agreed rental rate 3 times for up to 50% more than initially agreed. After confronting the manager, I was told this is out of their hands since corporate decides when and how much the rental increases occur. Instead of moving my business elsewhere, manager offered a smaller unit at a much lesser rate, taking into account that "rate will not increase for at least a year and even if it does, increase will be marginal". Trusting this company I decided to go ahead with the downgrade. To my surprise, less than 4 months later I receive ANOTHER RATE INCREASE NOTICE!! This time the increase would be for more than 50% starting next month. This increase like all the others happen for NO JUSTIFIABLE reason. As expressed by many others, this company has a long history of PREDATORY BILLING PRACTICES. They purposely wait for you to be settled with your storage to increase your rates, not by a marginal amount but increases of over 50% of your agreed rental agreement. I appealed this with their superiors in writing but they failed to even respond. I am now in the process of starting to take legal action against this company and needless to say I recommend everyone to stay away from this corporation completely!

After going through a pretty traumatic break up and having to move unexpectedly, I immediately…read morecontacted Bookstore Movers through Yelp. I had had a great experience with them just last year when I last moved and knew they'd be able to get the job done again. My project was immediately responded to and they were able to help me move two weeks later on their soonest available date. The three movers, Pat, Renaldo, and Kevin were incredible. Communication leading up to the move and theday of was great. They were able to move all my large furniture within 2 hours. Everything was wrapped carefully and efficiently. They were kind and thoughtful, helping me make adjustments to the furniture layout once we got to the destination. Their positivity through one of the hardest situations I've ever gone through was much-needed and made me feel confident in entering this next chapter. I even had a last minute change to the destination (originally everything was going into storage but I ended up finding an apartment just in time), and the professionalism and patience from the entire Bookstore team through this change was excellent. Pricing was reasonable yet again and came out to about $500 (excluding tip) for the truck fee and moving of 16 large items. Thank you Bookstore Movers for helping me when I needed it most!

We were disappointed with our recent experience with Bookstore Movers. The crew was polite, but the…read moremove felt much slower and less efficient than it should have been. We had a dedicated elevator, yet workers often brought items down only one or two at a time. I also saw team members on their phones or standing around in rooms and hallways instead of actively moving things. These delays added up quickly. The crew also misplaced parts of our bed frame, and the pieces had to be found before it could be reassembled. That alone added nearly an hour to the move. Because the move took much longer than expected, the final cost was significantly higher than the estimate we received. We were also charged based on an arrival time that was recorded as ten minutes earlier than when the crew actually arrived. The team was courteous, but given the inefficiency, added time, and higher final price, we would not use Bookstore Movers again. This is unfortunate, because we had been happy with them in previous moves.

DO NOT RENT HERE - Public Storage charged me for an extra month's rent despite my moving out by the…read morerequired deadline. I was incorrectly charged $153 for the month of May despite the fact that I moved out by April 30, consistent with all instructions from Public Storage. I tried raising the issue to staff at the facility itself, Public Storage customer service, and directly with District Manager Adam Martin, who ignored multiple voicemails from me. I was ignored for two months then PS sent the amount I shouldn't have been billed to a collections agency. I followed all emailed instructions, vacated the unit, and removed the lock before 4/30. I called the facility to confirm the move out inspection would be completed, and was told the staff member doing the inspections was overwhelmed and behind schedule. A few days later I was called back and another staff member told me I had left property in the unit, which is why the vacate hadn't been processed. I said I absolutely had not left anything and asked what property I had allegedly left behind. He didn't know/couldn't tell me, and said he'd call me back too confirm what was left, but never did. I went back to the Public Storage that day to find the unit empty, as I had left it. I have video of the empty unit. I later got the confirmation that I had vacated the unit. It seems to me that facility staff lied to get another month's rent out of me or to cover for the fact that other staff was not processing move outs on time. Do not do business with Public Storage.

I have been a customer of this facility since before Public Storage obtained it. When ezStorage…read moreowned it, it was clean, no bugs, no rodents, no weird smell. There was always someone in the office for assistance. There was always at least a dozen clean carts to carry your items. Since Public Storage now owns it, the facility is dirty, smells bad, you're lucky if there's a dirty cart around, and there's rodent droppings and urine in my unit and on my belongings. There's rarely, if ever, someone in the office. The rent has gone up from about $60 to $264 with no reasonable explanation. I complained about the rodent mess in my unit and they said I could request an insurance payment for damage. I don't want my items damaged at all, I want the problem controlled. I asked what was being done to remove the rodents, like traps, and the person on the phone said a mediocre yes but I haven't seen any in the facility. The time that I did see someone in the office, he was late and apathetic about my concerns. I asked about the rent going up and they said it's been a while since it's gone up, like that's an explanation. If you are late with rent, they harass you nearly daily, deny you entrance after a short number of days and threaten to auction your belongings after 30 days. As a federal contractor that was laid off, this adds to the stress.
