I've been with American River Self Storage for nearly a decade.This month marks 10 years -- and…read morethat alone should say something. I've never had an issue with my units, the grounds, or the overall safety of the facility. I genuinely enjoy being here. Over the years, I've referred many people, and at least four of my immediate family members currently rent units here as well. Office management is amazing Scott and Lawrence deserve real recognition. Scott is the on-site backbone of this facility -- the one you see constantly staying on top of the grounds, making sure everything is clean, maintained, and running smoothly day in and day out. His customer service is phenomena; he's dependable, consistent, patient, respectful, and always willing to assist. Lawrence is also phenomenal to work with -- professional, helpful, and always clear when handling anything that involves paperwork or questions. Together, Scott and Lawrence make the office run the way it should, and they're a major part of why I've stayed loyal all these years. When I need something done, they make the process simple and straightforward, every time. To be transparent, I do avoid dealing with one staff member: Ian. My interactions with him have been consistently difficult. His tone comes across condescending, like you know less than you do and he tends to complicate simple requests instead of clarifying them. A recent experience -- I was moving things between my two units and using the electrical outlet on the wall. I'd been plugged in for about two and a half hours with no problem, and then 45 minutes before closing Ian suddenly came out to tell me I wasn't allowed to use it. So it took 150 minutes for you to realize and address the issue. A few days later, I called to ask if they stil had any larger unit I oreviously discussed with Scott available so I could consolidate, and in the middle of the conversation he repeats, "And just to remind you, you also can't use the electrical outlets." At that point, it felt unnecessary. I heard you the first time I'm an adult, I understood it, and repeating it came off exactly the way my experiences with him usually feel. Aside from that, this facility has been nothing but dependable -- clean grounds, secure units, and reliable management. I've been here almost ten years, I currently have two units, and I don't plan on going anywhere else. If you're looking for a storage facility you can actually trust long-term, with staff who genuinely take care of their tenants, ask for Lawrence or Scott. They're the reason so many of us stay loyal to American River Self Storage.

By the end of 2024, this same space is now $140, basically double my original intro price. A late fee is $21, which as a retired Veteran hits the wallet pretty hard. You only get a payment reminder after you're charged the late fee, and various other nefarious or disadvantageous practices for the customer, advantageous for the business. I don't recommend Public Storage. Management never calls back, everything is automated now, little human contact and messages from the contact people are very cryptic or vague on purpose, it seems.

Facility upkeep has been lacking. The climate control for the upper floor has been working on and off for years (mostly not). The elevator on the building I was in would be out of order often as well. And the rent would significantly go up annually. Most importantly, the facility IS NOT SECURE! My unit was broken into recently. Not much help from Extra Space storage or the insurance company they use with my incident. Needless to say, I'm no longer a customer. Store your stuff here at your own risk.

The first floor seems tollerable but as you go to floor 2 and 3 it's just sweaty. the rubber bands my girlfriend used to hold her clothes all melted from the heat. There's nothing controlled about this , certainly not the price, certainly not the temperature , I wish I could give it a zero. Absolutely horrible and a complete waste of money. and they've doubled their price in the past couple years without actually improving this service whatsoever.
