“Store 26651 Diana P. Manager”

Debra K.
11/24/19

Diana is wonderful to deal with. She is always businesslike and personable and goes well above and beyond to assist renters with any problems they may have. She was very helpful to me personally in helping me decide which size unit would work the best. Diana really is a Godsend in that she remains positive and helpful at all times. Not just during initial rental period. I am confident no matter what the issue might be, Diana is more than capable of handling the situation and finding a solution Thank you for a, k you do, Diana Debra K

“Do Not Rent From Here”

Samone W.
10/15/24

My daughter rented a space here and it was and has been the worse customer service from Public Storage we have dealt with... She did an online reservation for ONE unit, and when she arrived at this Public Storage she spoke with Maria (property manager)... Maria sent my daughter to a locked storage and this wouldn't have been a problem if they would have refunded my daughter's account for this locked unit immediately... My daughter goes to another unit Maria tells her to go to and of course another charge is now on her account... At this point, my daughter is being charged for 2 5x5 storages... Maria assured my daughter the charges would be refunded, but it's now 3 months later and no refund... My daughter was charged for the space she didn't rent because it was locked, and a lock fee (she provided her own lock) on the unit she actually rented... Whenever you call this place no one knows what's going on and they tell you someone will contact you... A few weeks ago we spoke with Martin, and he stated Maria would call us back... We contacted corporate and they stated they would have Maria contact us, but Maria nor anyone else from Public Storage contacted us regarding this... We contacted Public Storage at the number on the website for customer service, but the only way to get through to someone in customer service is to press 1 (to rent) or 2 (to get help with an open account)... We pressed 1 and the lady stated she would transfer us to customer service because there wasn't a number to give... We were transferred to a rep named Michelle who stated she would help us, and get to the bottom of things... Michelle ended up being very rude and unprofessional... Michelle stated we canceled the charges, but we kept explaining Maria moved my daughter out of the locked unit through their system, we never canceled anything... We were trying to ask questions and get an understanding, but Michelle just kept over talking us, and stating, "You need to contact your bank, you need to contact your bank"... Michelle wasn't allowing us to get a word in, so we asked for a manager... Michelle ended our call by stating we needed to contact our bank or Maria... This was such a disappointment to say the least that my daughter can't be refunded $51.64 from Public Storage that clearly shows an error on their part...

This storage facility at 48 Thomas Johnson Drive is a small, personal site, well run and carefully taken care of by staff. In particular, the day manager, Lotus, goes out of his way to answer questions, identify the latest company promotions, and locate the best storage unit for his customers. We are long time users of this facility and would recommend it to anyone! It is ideally located for folks who work at Ft. Detrick (just a block away) or to any the many high tech companies in the Walkersville-North Frederick City area.

Tip for consumers:
Very Friendly manager

Just went to book a storage unit. Met up with Feather Rae. She was so helpful. I have never had to rent one so took me out ot look at one wasn't big enough, she said no problem so I rented a bigger one.
She made the process so smooth, I didn't have to ask very many question she had answered them before I had to ask. When you have so much on your mind about moving its nice to have a person like Feather who really put my mind a ease our property will be safe and surcure. This lady is very good at her job and I would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you Feather.

I been a customer for a little over a year now, and let's say I yet have anything bad to say about the customer services yet. I would love for every one to know that there customer services there is wonderful. Tina who works at public storage is a wonderful worker. Every time I come to make payments she greet me with great customer services. I would love to give her a 10 star rating if I could. She always know how to make a person smiles and give great customer services. That's why I am still a customer at public storage and would remain da customer a little while longer.

Eric, the location manager was very informative and thorough. My husband and I had a great and easy first experiences at the Boynton Beach location. Prior to meeting with Eric, I spoke with a property owner who was more than helpful and went above and beyond to find what I was looking for at a location she wasn't even affiliated with, unfortunately I dont recall her name. Bottom line, great customer service.

We moved up to help with Mom so our stuff was in storage for a couple years. We recently moved our things out, and Beth at the Hixson 153 location was so helpful and had great advice for us.

Wow! Talk about going above and beyond! We had the good fortune to meet and deal with Leala at the Public Storage located at Rainbow and Desert Inn roads in Las Vegas. Business #*******. We came in from a horrible trip from Michigan to get our storage vehicle and it wouldn't start. Leala got right on the phone and found us a company to come and jump it for us. While the tow company was very busy, she called friends and businesses that she knew and got us a room for the evening, all, I might add, at incredible prices! She sensed our stress, and by the time we left, she had us feeling much better about life. Thank you Leala, the world needs more people in public service like you girl! See you in April, where we will indeed use this facility again! Sincerely, Ernie and Veronica McDaniel

I am writing this review of an employee at public storage #*******. We have had storage units for years at this location. Delores is the kindest, most efficient person i have ever met. Moving items in and out of the units is time consuming and an arduos and stressful task. Many times delores has made our efforts easier with her advice. Public storage is fortunate to have delores as an employee.

We went to Public Storeage (Kakaako) to inquire about renting a space.

My mom and I were greeted by Mikaela as we entered the door and explained to us in detail about the various size of the room.

After deciding the size of the room she escorted us to the room for us to view and we were satisfied as to how spacious and clean the storeage was.

She was very attentive to our needs and explained everything in detail. I am totally satisfied with the service that we received and would recommend her to my friends and family.

In closing, I would like to thank Mikaela for the painless service that we received and do apologize if I've gotten your name wrong.

She is so conscientious is that when she's working in the yard or upstairs at the storage facility she leaves a note on the window with her telephone number personal number so you can reach her

Public Storage has fake cameras and employees disable the alarms to steal what you store. Do not think you can return and find your valuables they steal.

I think their policies suck my unit unit leaked at the door and in the ceiling leaked to all my paperwork all my pictures my kids and my clothes everything I had in there soaking wet and the manager told me that her boss let her move into the unit for $5 more I need to buy me 10 boxes or more to get the 10 percent discount I have the lock that I just purchased the month before I need to buy a new one cuz that one won't work which was $17 I don't have 17 dollars to pay for a lock. I move my stuff in there to be safe and it wasn't. Without receipts they won't help you my receipts were in my paperwork for safekeepingso it's very hard to go there and take care of it and dry things out when you don't have a car.so Had to move my stuff out and I did so on the 5 now she's harassing me for an outstanding bill this just doesn't seem fair how they got to number one I will never know thank you Dana Meadors

I went online and took advantage of the online deal. Yesterday 07/24/13 I went to check in. Here's were the deceptive practice came into play. The online quote stated 1 mo. Free and 15% of the monthly rate of $69.00 for registering online. I question the agent about the rate, she stated that I rec'd the discount. She also stated that the monthly rate is $78.00 and $69.00 is the discounted price. I went ahead and took the unit site on seen, I'm going through a crisis situation. Facility is old and run down dead cockroach in the common area of the storage unit. I called C/S and was referred to Ronnie Baker, he was absolutely no help he stands behind the agent. I told him that 15% of $78.00 is $66.30, I'm being charge $69.00. He stated that the rate changes daily. I stated the rate on my contract states $78.00 as the monthly rate. The math does not add up. According to the online special my monthly rate should be 15% off $69.00 which is $58.65. Pleas don't use the Storage Facility they repetition of deceptive business practices. I use the facility located on 2840 S. Westmoreland Rd. Dallas, TX

Public Storage is certainly growing, new locations, upgrades, YET their website offers OnLine payments, that doesnt work. Their automated phone systems offers for customers to pay at an additional $10. FIX IT, called my location, called the main ph#, was told it doesnt work well on GoogleChrome so to use Yahoo. Worked once in January 2020. FIX YOUR ONLINE PAYMENT so customers dont have to keep getting ripped off with this additional charge. Its your online advertisement, GET IT TO WORK PLEASE!
