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!

They tell you to move to a bigger unit to lower rent then 4 months later it is increased. The elevators work occasionally. The temperature control doesn't work. It's very dim in the building in certain areas. There is never carts available and trash is always lying around. I wouldn't waste my time or money. They make the front lobby look nice but the rest of the area is nasty and outdated. It's not a safe area. Pick a newer storage place. There are so many nearby.

Unfortunately, our…read morecontractor went under and we had to pick up all the pieces, which means we had our unit for nearly 4 years! We signed a paper contract when they dropped off the unit, although I don't really remember signing a contract. But then 3.5 years later, they sent us a digital contract and asked us to sign it. But because I don't remember the paper contract, I refused to sign the digital contract. Even though we were paying every month on time for the last four years, they refused to give us one more month with the unit because we refused to sign the contract. Additionally, after returning the unit, my credit card was charged two months in a row, and I had to call the company to get a refund on my credit card. I would recommend the business because the delivery and pickup of the unit was simple. But everything else involved with renting this unit, I don't recommend.

1) Not all Extra Space storage facilities are equal. When we were in the process of planning our…read morerelocation from the west coast to Maryland we needed to temporarily store some things so we called Extra Space storage and reserved a storage unit sight unseen. When we arrived to Maryland and finally saw it, we immediately ran as fast as we could to find a new location (see my review of the Extra Space storage on Old Ardmore Rd). Lesson #1, If you can get someone to check out the location if you can't. 2) We came to this location and the manager Tanesha was great. She worked with us to get a space that was conveniently located for the movers to be able to quickly unload the truck when they arrived and would also give us quick access so that we could get the things we need from storage while we were on our temporary living arrangement. Lesson #2 Being on the ground level of a climate controlled facility near an entry point is best. Everything was going great and we had no issues or problems for 6 months, until 2 weeks before we were about to move into our new permanent Maryland address.... 3) Fire!!! There was a fire in the 1st level bathroom which caused the sprinklers came on. We got the call to come down and see the damage and there was water in our storage unit. About 1/3 of our possessions were sitting in water. We had to come down and bring our own mops and towels to clear the water the best we could. The folks in the office basically were of the attitude of "yeah it happened" and told us what we should fill out an insurance claim. Lesson #3, no matter how nice and new the facility is, insure your stuff! (when you rent a storage unit they offer insurance which thankfully we got the maximum they offered). Just a few days before we were to move our stuff out, we just happened to go by the unit and there were people running around in the facility in "hazmat-like" suits (because of the mold). They basically said they were there to help the renters to go through their stuff and anything that was not water damaged would go to a new storage space on the 2nd floor and anything that was water damaged would have to be removed (taken home or put on of the many dumpsters in the parking lot). It was a blessing that my wife and I stopped in when we did because the management team had not contacted us about this operation where we need to go through our things and only move the undamaged stuff. So the first 6 months of our experience was great. The last 2 weeks were a total mess. The good part was that the insurance paid us exactly what we put in the claim no questions asked.

I've decided to write this as an up-to-date update: there definitely is a rodent problem. If you plan on leaving your stuff here, expect an accumulation of rodent droppings all over the floor and your stuff for as long as you stay. For the record, I've had units on the 1st and 2nd floors. None are safe. After 3 years, my 1st floor unit was so bad I had to spend two days vacuuming mouse feces and swapping boxes/throwing out old boxes because everything was so soiled. If you leave any upholstery, be sure to thoroughly clean it or wrap it *very* well. Personally, I had to throw many things away because they were unsalvageable. The cherry on top is that they keep raising rent prices while keeping the status quo - laughable. The only positive I could say about this place is that I felt the front desk was always very friendly and willing to help. But I could not recommend this place in good consciousness.

Both vehicles were fairly new enough, which required a level of trust that isn't easily given.

After calling around, I ended up happily accepting the 9:30 am appointment I was offered at the MLK location.

I am absolutely delighted with my experience. My sincerest thanks to the team, with emphasis to Jamal who ensured everything worked out from my 1st phone call until I checked out and my mechanic Darwin who installed and walked me through the mechanics of the bike rack.

Not only was that not the case there was a long line, each customer took roughly 20 mins to finish, and they were telling us trucks were running out. So if you needed a certain size there was only one left. It was as if the only point to make a reservation was to be able to get in line and there still was no guarantee. I had movers to meet that were prepaid. I arrived at 9am as the reservation stated and made it out by 9:51. Luckily I was only 10 mins away from my home, so I made it to the movers without keeping them waiting long. Also lucky we had prepared everything bc that left no time after getting our truck to do anything. 3 stars because 2 young guys got on the register and did help speed things up and bc they did have a truck for us (but I saw we got the last 20') so yes overall I was happy.
