Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage at 156 Lincoln Street, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I’ve been waiting to post this until we move out of this god forsaken place, but after yesterday I want to leave my review now. For those not familiar, Boston is largely on a 9/1 moving cycle. With the number of college students in our town, in addition to the fact that most Boston apartments run on this 9/1 cycle, we knew the storage facility would be busy in the weeks surrounding 9/1. My partner and I decided to splurge on this unit to slowly move our belongings in our current apartment into the storage unit over the course of a month. We have opposite work schedules and a very small apartment, so we relied on this slow moving process to suit our schedules and needs. About one week into our tenancy at this Public Storage, the two elevators on site were deemed inoperable due to being out of code with the city of Boston. We received no warning or notification of this change, and being on the second floor, this threw a significant wrench into our plans. Douglas is the District Manager and is truly one of the most useless points of contact we have ever had. He doesn’t return phone calls and takes 0 accountability for this huge issue. He blamed the lag time in securing elevator operators to fix the elevator, not acknowledging that it was his facility that allowed the elevators to go out of code in the first place. You’d think that with the moving dates coming up, they’d increase the number of dollies and moving assistance to at least offset this enormous inconvenience, but nope! And the other worker Ed, not only talks at a volume SO loud, he is incredibly rude and unhelpful. He referred to my partner and I (30 year old women) as “girls” and listens to his political news station on blast as he lurks throughout the facility. Also, no one answers the phone at this facility. They require you to leave a voicemail and then they’ll call you back when it’s convenient for them. We were promised that the elevators would be fixed on Friday so we get our box truck and fill it with our heaviest items we have. Lo and behold, we show up yesterday and the elevators are still out of service. Doug called us the day prior to confirm that the elevators would be fixed and we updated our plans and moved around our schedules to make this happen and still, we spent four hours carting our things to the stairwell, carrying them up two flights of stairs, then carting them to our unit. This has been a miserable experience and I feel both defeated and so angry. Where is the accountability? Their general customer service is a hell loop and this company just genuinely doesn’t care about their customers. I’ll leave it at this: for us, putting hundreds of dollars into a storage unit was a big deal. This was our splurge, this was our plan for moving. Many of us don’t have the privilege of just pivoting and hiring movers to help us. It was just my partner and me lugging our heaviest items up those stairs and this morning we are sore and covered in bruises. I’m just grateful we’re two able bodied women who can navigate stairs in the first place. If you can’t go up stairs, there is literally no way to access your unit. Do not rent with Public Storage. My left big toe can do a better job managing this facility than both Doug and Ed combined. Save yourself the hellish experience and rent elsewhere. ... Read more

DO NOT COME HERE!!! ELEVATORS DID NOT WORK ON MOVING DAY. We stored our stuff on the 4th floor. MASSIVE MISTAKE. Elevators down on moving day, zero notification given to us before hand. Horrible horrible horrible. I hate stairs. ... Read more
James X. - 4 August 2026
The facility is easy to access and well kept overall, however, both elevators have been out of service for a little while with no indication of repair timeline. While I can walk up the stairs to the 4th floor, it’s not feasible to move things in and out. The office is never staffed, and nobody picks up the phone or returns calls. ... Read more
r w. - 30 July 2026
The building has been kept up so it's decent, clean and fairly mold free as public storage does a wonderful job at keeping up their buildings. I've read the gates arent working so that's something to consider However public storage has unfriendly employees and often there's no one available. The reviews seem to mention Paris who seems to be working well but that may not last. It depends on what you're looking for. There's a lot of units and elevators and carts. The location isn't the most convenient for public transportation but there's one bus nearby I recall. I believe they have a restroom if you ask and it is fairly safe location just be aware late at night in any industrial area without a lot of residential. I don't know about prices but they were a bit higher due to being closer to Boston than other facilities but still fair. ... Read more

This review addresses ongoing accessibility, safety, and maintenance issues that remain unresolved despite repeated notice. Public Storage publicly states that it is “committed to ensuring accessibility to individuals with disabilities” and to complying with applicable laws and regulations. At this location, that commitment is not being met. After entering the gated property, there is a set of interior double doors intended to open automatically. These doors do not function. I am a disabled veteran and cannot reliably open them independently, which directly conflicts with Public Storage’s stated accessibility commitment and with ADA requirements that accessible features be maintained in operable working condition. I was told approximately three weeks ago that the doors would be repaired. When I followed up on January 18, the delay was attributed to “the holidays.” Regardless of the reason, Public Storage’s own policies require compliance with the law, and extended inoperability of an accessibility feature is not acceptable. No reasonable alternative accommodation has been offered. Additionally, the restrooms at this facility are locked at all times, with no staff available to unlock them during normal operating hours. Public Storage advertises staffed facilities and customer service during operating hours. Denying restroom access entirely is a management decision that contradicts reasonable customer expectations and standard operating practices. I was also informed that restroom access was restricted due to misuse concerns. That explanation does not relieve the company of its responsibility to provide basic services during open hours. Finally, the parking lot was neither pre-treated nor properly cleared following a known snowstorm. This created unsafe and inaccessible conditions, particularly for customers with disabilities. Nearby storage facilities in the same area were properly maintained, showing this was not a citywide issue but a location-specific failure. These issues were communicated directly to Public Storage in advance. I have also informed them that I will be following up with the City of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts regarding ADA accessibility and safety compliance. This review reflects documented conditions and Public Storage’s failure to meet both federal accessibility requirements and its own stated policies and standards. ... Read more

We just opened a storage unit here and I’ve been coming here for a couple of years to manage a friend’s. No complaints at all. If you need customer service, try to go on a day that Susan is working! She is a gem. She’ll get to sorted and make your day. A+ customer service from her ?? ... Read more
Brendan R. - 16 March 2025
I had the absolutely worse experience trying to vacate my locker. I scheduled my move out on 1/30 and I decided to move out a little earlier just in case there was any hiccups. I was contacted on 2/4 and was demanded by Alejandro that I needed to show up to the facility and return a key otherwise I would be charged a fee for the following month. I had already moved out almost a week prior and was contacted a week later, demanded to return the key for the locker. After already explaining to Alejandro that I could not do so, given the fact that I was already in route to work on the opposite side of town. After going back and forth with Alejandro letting him know that I wouldn't be able to meet his request. I proceeded to let him know I could make it the next day with the key he had requested. After showing up the next day, with key in hand, Alejandro refused to take the key from my possession and refused to let me go up to my previously rented locker just to remove the lock. I expressed my feelings of frustration because I do not understand why I was contacted almost a week later for the locker I had rented, only to be refused access to return the lock and be pressured into paying a fine I feel I should not have to pay given the circumstances. I am constantly contacted by employees as the Brighton location regarding fees but no one has reached out in regards to my issue. I have tried contacting the district manager and I successfully got through once, only to leave a voicemail. I have been contacted by Susan and another female (maybe Debra) but not one has the district manager returned my call. I'm still getting emails regarding the bill increasing in the unit. Since I have moved out of the locker, the bill has reached $258, in which I refuse to pay unless I speak to someone in Human Resources. Alejandro was so unhelpful and the district manager does nothing. Still have not heard anything from the man. ... Read more

I am a multi unit customer with spaces in both Salem and Brighton and I must MUST let anyone and everyone who is contemplating where to get a storage unit TO USE PUBLIC STORAGE specifically the Brighton location. And as well I’d highly recommend going out of your way to be served by Alejandro - he was just so kind patient and knowledgeable just to name a few qualities that stood out most. Give this man a raise!!!!! ... Read more

Accessibility and quickness are key when it comes to storage, so drive-up storage units are generally regarded as very convenient.
