I’ve been with this place for a year and I have nothing but good things to say. Betty is such a sweetheart and will go the extra 2 miles just to help you. She’s very polite and professional. Every time I call her with a problem she’s willing to help me. She definitely deserves a raise for what she brings to the company. ... Read more

I had a great experience with Betty. She was incredibly helpful, attentive, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. She took the time to understand what I needed, answered all of my questions clearly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. I really appreciate her professionalism and support it made a big difference. ... Read more

I’ve been renting here for less than 2 years and have experienced 2 steep price increases. Upon moving things into the unit on 8/1, I noticed that half of my belongings and expensive equipment were covered in mold that I had to immediately toss. I moved out that same day because of this and they are expecting me to pay for the full month. This facility is not climate controlled and tenants are not notified of any water leaks until you see them and/or your things get moldy. Very frustrating having to deal with this and will no longer be returning to Public Storage. ... Read more

NOT climate controlled, every time we went in there to load our unit, usually (5-8PM) it was soooo hot and humid we came out sweating like we were in a sauna. The entrance into the facility is a bump/step that you have to pull your dolly over. Definitely should be evened out by the facility or made into a ramp. It’s very difficult to maneuver over it with your heavy items placed on the dolly. None of the doors stay open on their own, people never returned the dollys where they belong. Staff is nice, facility is kept clean for the most part. It is one of the more affordable places in the area, but facility definitely needs some TLC. ... Read more

I strongly recommend not to use. My family photos and records were water-damaged when an unprotected sprinkler line broke. I got a notice from them while on vacation. The company takes no responsibility. As I was moving my precious wet things out, another user was complaining about rat feces. Be aware that anything you store there is subject to damage and if that happens, no one will help you. ... Read more

This stoarage facility is fantastic. Very clean, organized, super easy to access (both in person), plus the app/online experience is great. Best of all is the sweet, kind, helpful Tiffany who runs the front office. She's such a pleasure to work with, always smiling and willing to assist. While a storage facililty may just seem like a commodity, customer service, ease of use with technology can really make a difference. I highly recommend Public Storage. And again, thank you Tiffany! ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 20 to 200 square feet. Space is not an issue! If you have more belongings to store, or simply bulkier items or even vehicles, you should go for larger storage units.

You already know how much stuff you need to put in self storage, so figuring out the unit size you need is the next step. Smaller units such as 5'x5' or 5'x10' spaces can usually be filled with the amount of items you would normally store in a closet: a few chairs and lamps, sports equipment, garden tools and some boxes.

Moving on to larger sizes, imagine the 10'x10' and 10'x15' units as similar to a bedroom or a living room – larger pieces of furniture, sturdier equipment and bicycles can fit here. Finally, a 10'x20' unit has enough space for the contents of a 3-bedroom house, while the larger 10'x30' space easily accommodates the contents of a loaded semi-truck.

Accessibility and quickness are key when it comes to storage, so drive-up storage units are generally regarded as very convenient. Pull your car right up to your storage space, load, unload, and you're good to go! However, if you're mostly storing temperature-sensitive items, you should rather consider indoor storage units.

Climate-controlled units maintain consistent temperatures and humidity levels all year round, making them perfect for all your sensitive items. Moisture and varying temperatures can damage a whole host of things, and that is why a lot of people choose to use climate-controlled units to store items like wooden furniture, electronics, artwork, documents and photographs, collectibles, antiques, etc. If the belongings you're storing are important to you, you should consider renting a climate-controlled unit.
