Negative 5 stars wasn't available, best option was 1 star.
DO NOT rent from this specific Upland location.
I actually pay to rent from both Upland & Ontario locations. Ontario is a dream & Upland is the nightmare.
First off, they had security issues so shortened their hours so called "temporarily". They close by 6pm weekdays which makes it inconvenient to access if you work a regular 9-5 job. It doesn't seem to be temporary at all. They claim to have installed this state of the art security system which alerts police if there is activity on the premises after hours. That's great but then why is there still need for inaccessible hours for their clients if they've invested a huge amount into this security system?
Secondly, the elevator is now out of order due to renovation. My unit is on the second floor. It was in order when I rented the facility last month and no mention once of a planned renovation to shut it down. I learned that news the hard way. Spoke to the front office & was told an email was sent out about it. I did not receive that email. Spoke to other renters there, they did not receive this email either. Sounds like a lie on Public Storage's part. I went into my online account, no alert there at all about this inconvenience either. Spoke to the district manager he said it's posted everywhere, another lie. But I'm sure after this review it will be posted, emailed and tacked onto online accounts to cover their incompetent asses. The District Manager also let me know the elevator is just a "convenience" to customers, that I can use the stairs. I informed him that upon my renting had the elevator not been available I would've never rented for this huge "favor" or "luxury" they are presenting me with. I rent one of the largest units they have which isn't cheap. Filled with large items, so using the stairs isn't acceptable in this situation. I've spoken to other renters that are handicapped that are equally dissatisfied with this inconvenience.
Next, today I tried to get all my belongings out of there to be done with this place and to not pay them another dime. I show up with my hired movers and there is no access to get into the inner units. Their employees happened to not show up for work today to open those doors to give access. Myself and 5 other renters were there waiting around since 9:30am opening hour. I made many calls just trying to get customer service # which appears hidden online. Finally made contact with a rep that said they can't get hold of anyone but will call me back. Long story short, my movers could no longer waste their time on this due to their scheduling which is understandable. So that cost me a cancellation fee out of my pocket. Finally an employee showed up 45 mins later, at that point it was too late.
Lastly, the homeless people & obvious addicts that manage to frequent inside the property rummaging thru the dumpster, hanging in the stairwell that smells like pee, most likely leaving the garbage I step over behind. I inquired with the district mgr on that as well. He said it can only be dealt with in a case by case basis. So your state of the art security is only good after hours and the people you have in place during business hours "maybe" deal with this on a case by case basis? So you're fine with staining the Public Storage brand leaving your paying customers feeling that their belongings are unsafe and maybe their well being is too? Does one have to be assaulted by a vagrant or addict in order for it to be a case by case basis to qualify for public Storage to address it?
In the end, the elevator may be open at the end of the month, not guaranteed. Therefore sticking me with another bill to pay to Public Storage. District Mgr said the best he could do is give me "some" credit and not reimburse me in full for all the money I have lost. Same on me losing money on my movers due to have an inept staff. He said I can "try" and talk to other people above him in corporate but I won't get a different offer because that is their policy. How awesome and smug of you District Mgr guy!
So, do yourself a favor and DO NOT use this specific storage facility location. Customer service is terrible, and overall sucks. read more
