I talked to Laura Georgia on the phone and in person. She was the best ever! Laura set me up with a unit and made the move in date flexible to give the shady moving company time to deliver to my unit. She said she didn't want me to spend more money than necessary -especially considering what we had been through with the moving company. She was so nice and friendly. Like dealing with your favorite aunt who you love see during the holidays especially if your holidays includes a Joe Pesci clone attempting to steal you stuff and money! My faith in humanity is restored. Thanks Laura!

Prices keep going up and up for existing customers, while service keeps going down. In order to…read moresave money, Public Storage at 6133 S. Tamiami Trail: (1) No longer has live person at front desk - customer needs to call and leave message for everything; (2) has timed hallway lights on 2d and 3d floors that automatically shut off every 10 minutes. So customer needs to go to hallway and wave arms so motion turns hallway lights back on. Makes it impossible to review what's stored in unit; and (3) provides NO electrical outlets or bathrooms for customer use anywhere. If you have a ground floor unit, based on my experience, be advised that: (1) bats can reside in your unit, and if so, (2) there will be bat guano on the ledges and on your stored items. See photos below: 1. several small bats sleeping in a cluster (looks like dirt on the wall, but no, they're bats), and 2. Bat guano (poop) on ledge all the way down other side of unit. I have read that Bat guano is very toxic. Despite these issues, Public Storage rent for this ground floor unit was to go up $125 next month. (Prices have gone up every year). Will not pay that. Vacated unit instead.

I had a large unit when I moved out of state. We finally went back to FL to empty it. It took…read morelonger than we thought so we swapped it out for the smallest size at $70/month from the original $200+. Two months later they raised the price. Then they kept raising It bi monthly and it is now at $200/month. Which is the same as the original larger size that we had. Which was the size of a large bedroom. This one is the size of a small closet. We have called and they told us it's dynamic pricing and all storage companies do it. And then, "Our rent goes up too". Well it's not an apartment and rents don't usually go up that quickly. It is usually yearly or bi yearly. I hate dynamic pricing. Airlines do it also. My job even does it once and awhile and I find it embarrassing when I have to explain it to customers. IMO if you are doing well why raise prices? It's not like they are raising our salaries when they do well. I was going to keep it longer at the $70 price even though it is still a waste of money. But $200?? Now I have to fly down there and close it up. My bad for not planning better the first time but my Dad was dying and we were more focused on that. But I recommend not getting storage lockers if you can help it.

My first unit went from $120 up to $160 plus tax over the course of the first 2 years. Now I changed to a smaller unit (size of a small walk in closet) and that went from under $100 to $117.00 in less than a year. I am nervous for it to go up again before I can get down there and empty it. When I called to ask why it keeps going up she said they have competitive dynamic pricing. So as soon as I can get a flight to FL I will have to get rid of my storage. If it were more economical I would just keep it. Not their fault but when I went to down size both dumpsters were filled to the top with personal information from a guy who had a unit for his accounting business. We had to make many trips to other places to dispose of any garbage. The very nice employee explained what happened but it was definitely frustrating.

Helping my friend move from one unit to another, she had an old vacuum cleaner and 24x24 box with…read moreother small empty boxes inside it to throw away. There was a dumpster in the lot that did not have any signs on it other than the dumpster company logo. I looked inside and it appeared to be a trash receptacle because there was some old furniture and other trash inside it. So we threw the vacuum and boxes inside. Just then, after we had already thrown everything in, the manager comes out of her manager's apartment and with a very nasty demeanor tells us that we can't throw our trash out there. I said I'm sorry we didn't know it wasn't a trash dumpster because there's no sign. However, that's all we have, it was only an old vacuum and some small boxes. We don't have any more garbage. She told us we need to figure out how to get our stuff out of this 6-foot tall dumpster! We are two 50-something year old ladies, one with bad knees and myself with only one good arm (I have surgery on it in 2 weeks) and we had my special needs little boy with us who was throwing a fit because he was hot and tired. This woman could've easily just given us a gentle reprimand or warning, or even asked us to pay a few bucks for the extra 10-15 lbs we added to the dumpster. But no, she was extremely nasty to us right from the get go, as if we were some teenage thugs committing a crime! We ended up having to drive all the way back to my house, get two ladders, drive back to the storage complex, and climb into a rusty dumpster to get a measly box and a vacuum out of it! We could've easily been injured doing so and Extra Space would've had a HUGE liability lawsuit on their hands. I can't speak for my friend who has a unit there right now, but I have had units in this place before and I will never give them my business again! I will also be telling everybody I know about how horribly we were treated and they should take their business elsewhere too.
