Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage at 8701 Staples Mill Road, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Love that the storage building is so clean. The down falls are sometimes the app doesn't work to automatically unlock the gate, only 1 loading area and only 1 cart for unloading. With all of the units they have inside there needs to be more than 1 cart and more than 1 loading area. ... Read more

I have made so many attempts to reach the property manager and the district manager I called twice a day for a week, but they will call you daily and i spoke to an agent 3 weeks ago about my account and he adjusted it for the next 3 months I got a notice saying my belongings will be auctioned off on the 28 of March, mind you only due for March why are you auctioning my belongings when I’m not even a month behind, so I been calling and calling trying to get this situation fixed but no one is returning my calls .. I’ve left messages with the property manager as well as the district manager. I’ve known ppl with other storage companies that’s was months behind before they auction they stuff off .. ... Read more

I’ve made many attempts to reach someone here and at the Mechanicsville location to make payment on a unit I won in an auction. No response for over 5 days. I decided to drive to the unit where my auction winnings is located since the main Public Storage hotline claims I can make a payment at any Public Storage. Welp, no one here, their self service vestibule is buggy and unreliable. On top of that, I was able to open this side door. I did not go inside but what’s the point of a keypad for locked access if the premise door doesn’t even stay closed and lock? This place is wasting my time and I really want to pay them, and avoid bidding on another Public Storage unit ever again. ... Read more

Absolute rip off. In less than 2 years the price doubled. The late fee is $100 a month. When we removed our stuff, over half of the units had a second lock on it. Trevor, the district manager has no compassion for the customers. It’s all about money with public storage. The employees aren’t trained with the correct information. When I told Trevor what his employee said, he said well if you wanted correct info, you should have read your lease better. Rude! Please find a better facility and a better company than public storage. An employee offered me to put my unit in someone else’s name to save money and get new promotions every six months because she told me the company is all about ripping people off. Those were her exact words and she said she has been doing it with customers for years to help them because the company and higher management does not care about the employees or the people who rent units from them. I am begging anyone who is looking for storage to NOT GET PUBLIC STORAGE!!! You will regret it!! Uhaul is absolutely amazing!!! Climate control units that are safe and the rates are wonderful without a ridiculous increase every 3-6 months like public storage. ... Read more

Please reconsider...I have been using this storage location for about 4 months now. I did lots of research ahead of time trying to find the perfect location to house my business inventory. There were several factors that encouraged me to choose this location, specifically the great customer service reviews, the access hours and cleanliness of the facility! However within the last month, all of this has changed dramatically! To sum it up, there is NO staff on site any longer! What used to be office has now been replaced with a wall that has a "full service kiosk," that I have yet been able to access. This kiosk has remained behind a locked door for at least 2 weeks! There were at least 4 occasions when I could not get into the sliding doors. Please keep in mind, I'm trying to pull inventory for my business and cannot get access! There were several times within the last 3 weeks that the property was filthy! I mean trash, boxes, broken glass, even mattresses & furniture -for several days at that! This last few times I went, the elevator was broken. I called the # claiming it was to a live agent during business hours and got a voicemail 3x! The elevators certificates appear to be expired! One elevator doesn't even have one! It's getting real sloppy over here and I'm in search of a new facility! Also keep in mind, I called the 800# and was told it would take up to 72 hours to hear from someone! I needed items for the next day and couldn't even get upstairs to obtain them in time which makes me look bad to my customer! No apology, no compensation, not even a return call from the property owner/district manager! They need real people back on site immediately! If you are someone who will need regular consistent access to your items, keep looking! ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 21 to 336 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.
