Steven P. - 4 March 2026
Incredibly predatory storage rate increases. I had a unit for 1 year and they started ~40% increases in rent EVERY 6 MONTHS when I hit having my storage unit for 1 year. 2 years in for a 10x10 they are charging $280 a month for a 10x10 that was originally a little under $100 eith the teaser rate. Attempts to negotiate with them were met with a whole bunch of fake I understand how you feel this is what the policy is ect despite an identical 10x10 having a teaser rate of $90 on their website. If you are planning on renting more than 6 months avoid public storage like the plague. There is a reason they sre worth 53 billion as a company. Included is a picture of the rate increases you will get every 6 months if you use this company. Also despite having the obvious capability, they charge an extra $30 for you to access the storage unit at 9pm despite obviously being able to offer it for everyone at no extea charge. Attached is a screenshot showing that any my previous rate before they jack it up Lastly I am guessing certain modt of the reviews for this place are falsified. I have had a unit for 2 years and haven't never seen a public storage employee. This is a storage facility not a customer service desk yet every review mentions an employee who helped them out with something. Very fishy ... Read more

First, when I didn’t understand why I was being charged for a lock at the end of the online arrangement, I went in the store. The lady was nice enough and explained about the lock and if I had my own, they would adjust my account and I asked about the insurance. I asked her to complete my transaction b/c I couldn’t pull it up correctly on my phone in the store. When she got to the end, she said she needed a physical credit card to complete and when I didn’t have it she said have a nice day… it was my friend who said can you still complete it from when you did it on line and I was able to complete it. Then I get to the storage and I literally was given the worse storage unit. I am a single female and was given an end unit too far into the storage and to me not conducive to the safety of a single female. Then the unit inside has like a separation b/t the wall and unit just thinking anything could crawl into the unit!! And lastly they had to force someone’s lock off the unit and where you put the lock is all bent out of shape and the new lock kinda has to be pushed to get it in. This alone would not have bothered me but everything together makes this not my best experience with this place. This is my experience which I am not very happy about!!! ... Read more
Valencia O. - 6 April 2025
Signing up with Cynthia was such a pleasure. She took us around, showed us how everything worked and got us the unit we were looking for. A seamless transaction. She explained everything so well. Can't say enough good things about Cynthia! My only feedback regarding the storage facility is that they need to have more carts to move your stuff. We of course, have to come on the weekend and there just aren't enough carts. We waiting for quite a while, 45 minutes, we one to be available. Please consider having more available and possibly a sign up for other users to return as soon as they are done so others can use them. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage units available at Public Storage - 120 McKinley Street include the following amenities: Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Elevators, First Floor Access, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment. Depending on what you need to put away in storage, you can discover there are some things you absolutely need, so make sure you check with the facility manager that you'll find everything you need on site.

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 25 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.

Monthly prices for units offered by Public Storage - 120 McKinley Street start from $39 and can go up to $280 for larger spaces.

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.
