Very unsafe to store items here.. Went earlier to store items and the gate was open, wouldn’t close, the elevator had some cable hanging out and was not working so I couldn’t even access my unit. Please do better and up the security or system, very dangerous and inconvenient.

Great service
Thank you for the review, Benny! We are glad to hear you had a great experience with our team at Extra Space Storage.
Do you like the idea of leaving your valuables on the side of a public road for several months and paying for it? If so, look no further as that is the kind of security they have setup at these units. Store your valuables here at your own risk

Secure, safe, friendly staff
Thank you for sharing your experience, Mary. We are glad to hear that you feel secure at our facility and appreciate our friendly team here at Extra Space Storage.
Very dissatisfied, kept upping our rate 3 times without notice and we hadn’t even had our stuff stored there for a year. Glad to be moved out of there. Not to mention the units next to us had a rodent problem. I don’t suggest renting a unit from this company.
We are very sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction regarding your rental rates and the conditions you observed at our facility, Mar. We strive to provide clear communication and well-maintained spaces, and we regret that your experience did not meet these expectations. Please contact us at 888-STORAGE so our team can look into your account and assist you directly.
Move in was very simple lock was in unit and all that was able to do the rest online. Only problem I have was they said drive up unit and although the door is outside the building it’s not drive up able there are bushes and a sidewalk in front of unit so I don’t consider that a drive up unit drive up means I could pull my vehicle up to the unit and unload not park and walk around a corner to get to unit due to sidewalk and bushes in front of unit and drivable area so to me I was not real happy about that . I ordered drive up unit due to my inability to walk so this was not ideal unit for me anyhow.
We are sorry to hear that the accessibility of your unit did not match your expectations, Heidi. While we are glad the initial move-in and online process went smoothly, having easy access to your space is important. Please reach out to us at 888-STORAGE so we can assist you with your space and help find a more suitable solution.
The customer service was good and the prices may of even been good to but since this is my first time I say they a little high (I’m just cheap)
