I needed a place close to where I was moving to so the location is convenient. I hate that I've been wasting money on a tiny 10x5 unit for almost 2 years now, and I've only been by there probably less than 10 times. ????? My rent increased this month without any warning..and when I used the app to inquire about it, it just took me in circles. Regardless of how hard it is to get to coming from Mopac, I definitely recommend this Public Storage location if you need a place to store parts of your life that you'll forget about in the Oak Hill area. ...

This location has been let to run down. The lights in the hallway outside my unit have needed to be replaced for a year. There is always trash in the driveway and around. The so-called 'climate controlled storage' is less than desirable. Some of my items rusted and had mildew on them. I had to throw away 2 expensive wool oriental rugs that had been eaten by insects. Prices are high and constantly going up. It used to be much better when staff was available, but covid changed that. Now, it is a game of wills trying to talk to someone. People forget to put the carts back, making it difficult to move your belongings in or out. Customer service and any personal attention is a thing of the past. ... Read more

Public storage kept emailing me to leave a review, so here’s my review in one word - ROACHES ??????. I was in the process of moving in on a Friday afternoon, when the movers and I noticed live roaches in the hallways. There was no onsite office with actual people to physically monitor the problem, only a self-service kiosk that connected you to a help agent remotely. The lady I spoke with was empathetic and told me they would get pest control out by the next day to re-treat that area. I received a follow-up call from Shana, the property manager at another public storage location, who said she would ask her boss to transfer me over to another building. Late Saturday afternoon (around 4pm) I went back to the unit and still found live roaches in the hallway. I’m not sure if the additional pest treatment actually happened, or if the infestation was just too massive for it to work. By that point I did not want to wait around for a property manager’s boss to respond to an email during Monday working hours - I needed to get out of there ASAP. I moved out that Sunday, just 2 days after moving in. Obviously I’m extremely disappointed in my experience at Public Storage. I did ask for a refund and compensation for having to use movers twice, so I will update this review with how that goes. Thanks for reading! P.S. My experience with the app was also terrible - Public storage has QR codes at the entrances telling you to download the app so you don’t have to use your access code every time to get in. I would stand in front of the elevator, or right at the very entrance I was trying to unlock, and the app would insist that I was “out of range.” I just used the access code every time. ... Read more

I rented here for about 15 months. The facility is nice and I felt safe leaving my items there for an extended period of time. The front office does not have someone working there at all times, but they have a video chat computer that allows you to connect with someone immediately. The in-person staff I did come across were extremely nice, especially Troy, who was able to help me out with a problem of my own creation. I would absolutely rent here again. ... Read more

Update 10/24 Andy and Shanna have been extremely helpful in addressing several of these issues. Even though they are not on site, they have been super super helpful ****************UPDATE******************** I left my original review 8 months ago. Here to report, things continue to get WORSE!! No dollies, no access to trash, more broken doors and even no electricity a few times. If no electricity, no access into the building. And it is never when there’s a power outage in the area. Oh and did I mention there’s now a deadbolt on the restroom?? Forgot even washing your hands after being at this disgusting place, even if you could get into the restroom, there is NO water in the sink, no soap, no paper towel or toilet paper. There is never anyone on the premises, no dumpster or trash available. Unless they accidentally forget to put the lock on, then trash is everywhere and it looks like dump. The doors of the units break all the time. The bathroom is always out of order. I constantly speak with others I see here and hear of units being broken into. There are cameras outside only so nothing can be done. The place is horribly maintained. Forget trying to get help with any issues, you can only speak to the kiosk with a computer. **Edit** I have tried calling and speaking to someone and receive no help. Bathroom is still “out of order” after being told a work order was put in. There was even an employee in the office who refused to answer the door. I was still there when she left, she claimed it was her first day but she has been seen many times over the past year. ... Read more

I must say...I am more than impressed with the professionalism and attentiveness of Jesse. I work a bunch and sent my kids to get a 24 accessable unit. He gave us the best choice possible and explained the pros and the cons about 24 hr access. We got the last spot available...smaller than I was hoping for but I know he will help me get on a waiting list for the larger 24hr units. I love that they have auto draft without hidden charges or surprises. I also want to thank the owner for keeping it clean and secure with lots of lights and cameras. Jesus even does a walk through for suspicious activity. Thank you in advance. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 25 to 250 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.

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.
