This place is slimy. At first it seems easy, rates look comparable to others in the area, and…read moreservice is good. But after renting for several months, there was a sudden increase in rate from $74 per month to $129 per month, effective in a month. That's a 75% increase. 55 dollars is 74.3% of 74 dollars. I had some management folks doing creative math to create a smaller number, arguing with me about the percent. Reasons given for the increase include cost of doing business, inflation, going rates of other renters, and other factors. Peak inflation post-COVID was 9% per year. They're clearly gauging and trying to pass it off as normal. But they continued to advertise low rates online. The rates listed online, such as 69-79 per month for 5x10, are "promotional rates", I was told by the regional manager. I take that to mean that those are rates to lure you in. Upon reviewing my initial rental agreement, there was no mention that my $74 rate was a promotional rate, and no mention that I could expect a large rate increase within a year. I was given offers by the location to move to a similarly sized unit across the hall for a slight increase in rent. I don't understand why they would make someone move like that. Regional manager gave me the option to pay $99 per month for the same unit. I decided to take our business elsewhere. Imagine being someone who can't just move their things out within a month, perhaps due to age or disability. Or imagine being someone who lives in another part of the country. I myself am a busy healthcare worker and I don't have time for this. Some people have no choice but to pay the large increase in rates. I think they know this. I think it's built into their business model. I think it's really slimy. I think this place can provide a good short term service, but I wouldn't trust them. They are extracting extra money from folks with limited warning, knowing that if folks don't agree to rate increases, they have to go through the hassle of finding a different place all over. It's somewhat like extortion. Their parent company West Coast Self Storage has a website that says, "With West Coast Self-Storage, you get storing solutions from a business that you can trust." I strongly disagree.

Your agent on duty at that time (Stan), was great to work with. Very professional, organized, and friendly giving suggestions about storage, the property, and the security of the premises. I like the hours (5:00 am to 11:00 pm), for being able to access my storage unit. This makes it very easy / convenient to be able to pick up, or drop items from my storage unit, either early in the morning or later in the evening - all good!

The young man first said they didn't have anything, then said they had ONE 5x 5 unit. "so it's drive up?", I asked to clarify because he had, had a little bit of an attitude about it, He looked at me like I was three- headed and said yes. I thanked him, paid and made sure to verify again that my contract says I have to exit by 10 pm ( not 24 hours access which was what I preferred and was advertised). I show up two days later at 8 pm. Since it was a Saturday, the office would b closed until Monday. I pulled out my little " this is ur unit HERE" map and proceeded to drive in circles trying to understand where my unit door was. I finally realized 20 minutes later that my " unit door" was marked confusingly because it was ACTUALLY a door that led to a short narrow hallway with other units. That meant I had to CARRY my heavy items down the hallway to my unit, NOT pull up to a door with EASY access. I was so angry by then I couldn't see straight. I gave notice a week later and left. Apparently I was unclear with my needs, as ALL units to them are " Drive- UP".

These people will have all access to your bank accounts. ,they will then make reasons up to charge you $40 here,$15 there. Always helping themselves to your money, without first contacting you.
