"The Downtown staff are great; very knowledgeable and friendly"
Of the 3 Public Storage units I've had, this facility is up to par with the best of them. But the most notable part is the customer service and genuinely great energy shared by the staff. I ended up speaking on the phone with both Gisel & Alesha before arriving and both of them were extremely helpful and polite! Gisel called to confirm my rental and I could hear the smile on the other end of the phone! Alesha was able to resolve the technical errors that I was having with the online check-in system and made sure everything was set up and ready for me to just show up. After they both went above and beyond to make sure my experience was great, I absolutely had to stop in the front office just to say hello! The facilities were clean, secure, and more spacious than I expected. Metal doors and highly tamper-proof locks are on every unit I saw and my 5ft x 5ft space was easily 10ft tall. 25sq feet is so much more useful when you can make sure all of your tall items can be upright without hitting the top! Every step is pictured, including my 5x5 unit before I moved everything in. I also love the APP for getting in and out of all the public storage facilities I have rented. You can either punch in your access code every time, or have your phone ready when close by to each code lock, which includes entrance to the parking lot, entrance to the buildings, use of the elevator, and exiting the facility. The fact that this location is in downtown makes it a great value! I am not worried for a minute about the security of my stuff in this location. If you can get a size and price that works for you, don't hesitate on reserving it! Thank you Gisel and Alesha so much for being so amazing and making it a good time just moving into a storage unit!
Accidentally paid my bill twice in one month, noticed it the second after I did it and called to have the payment cancelled. They told me they couldn't stop the payment and would have to wait until it processed and then provide a refund. Once it went through I called again for a refund and was told they couldn't process a refund and needed to escalate my case to corporate so THEY could process a refund. Left messages, was given the run around and then apparently corporate also couldn't figure out how to process a refund so they just gave up and stretched it out until my next payment was due ♂️. You mean to tell me no one in the entire company knows how to process a refund? Luckily I'm not super pressed for money but what if I needed that cash? TERRIBLE customer service UPDATE: Just finished chatting with a rep and was told that Public Storage policy is not to refund electronic check payments and that I should have been told to contact my bank to stop the payment, but if I did that they would treat it like a check bouncing and charge me an insufficient funds penalty of $25....for an OVERPAYMENT in the same month where I have a $0 balance ♂️
Check my stats, i do few reviews, and never for average service. Ive been using this location for around 3 years now, and have for the majority, been content if not pleased with service, forgiving the rare subpare employees, since they dont seem to last long anyways. Kudos to ownership or management. Only 1 other time was i handled as well, where it was eother an owner, or a high level magement, as she admitted as much. Today, someone I hadntd seen before took care of an issue that typically causes a bit of run around and delay with previous employees. I was shocked how quickly she came with a more efficient solution that respected my time, and her business equally. Thats a hard balance for most to find. She effortlessly moved me from my irritable expectation of having to wait on phone calls and emails, and had me in and out in less then 5 minutes. Dulce a queen. Ive been considering moving locations recently as markets no longer the most efficient for me, and i rarely need assistance, but have let go of the idea, mostly cause if I do need help, i trust she will get it done. To be clear, all the staff are effective, she just stood out.
I was helping a good friend of mine move her things into a storage this past saturday and at first she was really uneasy with the homeless in the area but it turned out to be a great experience the staff were very helpful and informative. Latoya did an awesome job assuring my friend the property was a safe and professional location. The other girls were very polite and helpful with our move. I had to write a review due to such a sweet group of women.. You hardly find great customer service like that anymore. Especially being done in a decent amount of time was a plus!!! I would definitely refer others here.
The Downtown staff are great; very knowledgeable and friendly. Both Emily and Raquel assisted me in choosing the unit size that would be best for me. They actually took the time to help me get everything figured out and all squared away. Definitely felt like more than just another number and they answered every question I had. Moving into the unit was a smooth process, which was a nice change of pace from my hectic home move. The unit was a great size and easily accessible. The building and property are very secure; gives me piece of mind. I appreciate the great service and thanks for a good experience!
I was greeted with a smile and treated professionally. After describing the promotion of $1.00 for the first month and explaining in detail how the system works, it's hours etc. Jared showed me the unit I would be renting. I was extremely impressed with Jared, he was very knowledgeable, professional yet friendly. He did not rush me along the signing process, but instead made sure I understood everything. Even after all was done, he could see I needed help on getting to a specific freeway, he came out of the office and showed me exactly where to go. First time using Public Storage and I'm impressed.
Positive review first to the district manager and Ms. Evelyn who helped me after an incredibly frustrating interaction with Emily. Emily had a difficult time acknowledging the fact that she lacked communicating with me about their lock cutting policy when I experienced a family emergency out of town. Due to this interaction and her lack of empathy, I'll be leaving public storage this month after a 2 years of loyalty. I'm appreciative of the district manager for listening to my concerns after the fact, I however feel the damage is done. Thank you Evelyn for treating me with kindness and respect.
I underestimated the amount of stuff I needed to store so I went online to reserve the next bigger size. I didn't want to be charged the next month's rent on the smaller unit so I visited the office to see if i could move into the reserved unit. Chris was very courteous and helpful with the process. He found a unit in the same building as my existing unit so I was able to transfer my stuff that same day. I also had the Public Storage App so as soon as i finished moving into the bigger unit, i scheduled the "move out" for the smaller one and settled that account! Very convenient and easy!
I want to thank Public Storage for letting me store my stuff in there storage units for 3 months, i had no problems with none my stuff. Ive seen comments where customers complain with all the homeless but they are literally no problem there very harmless and there just doing there thing. Special Thanks to Jazmin for an amazing customer service and making my move in as easy as possible as she said it through the phone when i first made my reservation and also a special thanks to Chris and Raquel for helping me out as well. Will be recommending to friends and family. Sincerely Miguel R.
Terrible customer service and policies. I rented a unit and never used it. That’s fine that I was charged for those months because I had it reserved. Then when I cancelled online they charged me for the entire month starting the day after I cancelled. When I called and asked for a refund April the manager refused when I told her I’d be disputing the charge w AMEX she threatened to send me to collections. I will be filing a formal complaint with the better business bureau and the California department of consumer affairs. If you have a similar experience I’d recommend the same.
The lady employee who assisted me has got to be one of the worst human beings I have met in my entire life. When I went there the second time, she even accused me of loitering even when I just went back to my storage to check if it's properly locked. I felt really small with the way I was treated in this branch. I vacated the storage unit one day before my first month was about to expire, and to my shock and horror, they even have the gall to say now that I owed them storage fees when I've paid the one month storage rental fee on the day that I rented it.
I rented a storage unit this past weekend and worked with Mike. He was very professional, courteous and provided the best customer service I have received in many years. My move from LA was a nightmare due to a Budget Truck rental breaking down which had to be towed to the storage facility. Mike worked with the tow truck drivers to gain access to additional parking spaces, checked on my moving team as we were unloading, and continued to offer as much support as possible. I highly recommend Public Storage but Mike is one of my new heroes!
Gisel and Makayla make a great team and have excellent customer service skills. Both were very helpful, from something as small as helping me figure out a tricky lock (Gisel), to answering random questions (Makayla), as well as identifying the correct size for my storage needs (Gisel). They both made the entire process enjoyable and their friendly and helpful demeanor were very much appreciated!!! In fact, they were both a major factor in renting at this location, rather than find something closer to my residence!
Since I’ve been using this storage location I’ve had nothing but positive experiences! The location is very convenient, storage is extremely affordable, and the site is always clean!! Whenever I come in I am met by either Gisel or April who are always extremely helpful! If I ever have any questions I am met with positive attitudes and great customer service! They always exceed my expectations and go above in beyond in anyway they can! I highly recommend this site and would give more stars if I could!
The team here always goes above and beyond. I've been dealing with a 'friend' who I let store a few items in my unit, and then he promptly took the only key and left the state... Locking me out of my own unit and sticking me with the bill. April has been helping me with it since day one and is always kind, understanding, and knowledgeable. She's kept me sane during the three months of trying to resolve this and I'm so thankful for that!
I like the location but I feel like it should be a 24hr access location.. by the time the average person gets off from work, the place will be closed, 530pm is not good at all. For the money you pay, and don't have access to your unit.. not cool.. even the dumpsters are lock up, makes it hard to throw garbage. Personally I don't have time to look for garbage cans. Please unlock the dumpsters, at least during the business hours..
This public storage location is fantastic. Great location downtown and even better employees. Don’t be dismayed about the unfortunate folks living outside across the street. There is a homeless population nearby by the security and quality of the building are great. Emily and Raquel will help you with the check in process, show you around the property personally and answer nay questions you have.
Fantastic location! Easy to access, and a variety of spaces to fit anybody's needs! I moved into a smaller unit from my former apartment, and needed somewhere to store all my excess junk. Kareem and David really helped me find a space that suited my needs (5x10), and were simply the kindest and most attentive employees to deal with! It helps that the storage space is incredibly affordable, too!
Wow. The units are absolutely terrifying and the staff is dishonest. Avoid at all costs. They made a bunch of mistakes and tried charging me for it. It's a crime how gross their units are and it's really weird that they are trying to act like a publicly traded company. I'll be filing a police report. They tried to steal from me every chance they could and there were homeless people everywhere.
Such great customer service! Audrey and David were so helpful helping me pick out my storage unit. I was indecisive at which unit I should get and they were very knowledgeable and patient as well. I worked in customer service for about 4 years and I know that the needs of my customer come first and they did a great job doing so! Representing Public Storage very well!!
This public storage has the most amazing customer service. Ana and Raquel has set up my storage and has made it so easy for me. The staff has left the doors open just a little longer to while I have been late. Every other storage location has been angry and aggressive if I come 30 minutes before close of business. They truly have great people here. 2 thumbs up!!
Went in to this location to possibly rent a storage and I’m glad I went. The staff on site were amazing. Alesha was extremely friendly and very helpful with all my requests. She answered all my questions without hesitation. Informed me about how I can download the app to make it easier for me to open the gate and as well as make any payments or changes.
THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!!!! DO NOT RENT YOUR STORAGE UNIT HERE.. THEY INCREASED MY RATE BY 40% WITHOUT ANY NOTICE WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF RENTAL AND AFTER A CALL WITH THEIR MAIN OFFICE THEY SAID IT'S THEIR POLICY AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO!! DO NOT RENT HERE. THEY SAID THEY CAN INCREASE AT ANY TIME AND TO ANY RATE THEY WOULD LIKE. DO NOT RENT IT HERE
Gisel and Jerome are fantastic! Had a slight miscalculation on a Mil move, and Gisel not only helped me out with the initial unit, but the secondary one as well while getting me a unit with a deal that saved me tons of money. Jerome gave me superb service and assistance the very next day. Y'all are pretty awesome. Keep up the good work.
The other day my friends and I were moving in and the staff was extremely helpful. I called in the morning before coming to check out the place and Raquel was great with answering our questions. Once we arrived Evelyn stoped cleaning to show us around and give us more info! It was nice & well staffed, we highly recommend this location.
Awesome Experience at this location. Amanda was prompt to initiate the 1st call, and was super nice, helping me get a unit on a last minute request. Upon arrival, she was friendly, smiley, and professional. Within 30 minutes i was in and out. Plus they give you 30 days free when u sign up online! So overall she gets 5 stars from me!
Mike was the best. The best to do it! I would never write a review for a storage facility unless it was bad... this is an exception. Mike was the most personable, service focused, and all around authentically caring person I've ever dealt with in leasing a storage unit. If I were the boss, he would go all the way to the top.
Alesha and Gisel both gave me wonderful and attentive service. Both were playful and professional, which made for an overall enjoyable experience. Alesha was friendly, and informative. We’re it not for her willingness to assist me to the fullest I would not have used public storage. Thanks for the food suggestions Alesha
Both elevators down, Stairs locked and no employee in the office for the past hour now. Absolutely no way to access your unit Update: employees were on lunch. They helped when they were back and i got a follow up call which i appreciate a lot. Also removed my upset rant ehich was not called for. Thanks!
Latoya and Jared, excellent people and excellent service. I wasn't even finished putting my information in the computer when I received a call back from Latoya. Both are very professional, courteous and well informed. Thank you very much for making this experience run smooth. Great job to both of you.
I reserved a storage spot online before my move. The day before I went into fill out all the paperwork and what not. Mike was who helped me with everything. He was very sweet and professional and even was able to give the storage unit cheaper than what it was online. I highly recommend this place.
I was so pleased and relieved how convenient it was to get a storage! Also the great customer service Alesha had made it that much better! Will definitely be letting my family and friends know where to get a good storage and at a good price and stop with hassle of other storage places!
This is the best place to rent in downtown San Diego. Secured and there is parking. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Victoria was awesome, if you rent from here you will be lucky to have her assist you. I'm always thankful when a business is run well by a quality staff.
Mike the manager is awesome! Super nice, very informative and thorough in his answers to my many questions. He did everything to accommodate me and provided me with excellent service and a great deal! I highly recommend Public Storage on 16th downtown. They're awesome! Thanks
I had the worst experience of my life at this facility. not only was I treated terribly by the rude staff in the office but my unit was burglarized by the staff while I had no access to my unit the last month I was there ! I would avoid this location like the plague !!!
The staff was very nice and helped make the process easy. They even gave useful advice like taking pics of your stuff in case you have to make a claim. The facility was clean and easy access. Parking is a little tight so bigger trucks will probably take up two spaces.
I'm giving it 4 stars because the facility itself is around a 3 -- but the assistance and customer service from the staff is top-rated. They were very helpful in all aspects of both move in and move out. I was quite impressed with the care they give their customers.
DO NOT STORE YOUR THINGS HERE!!! Unless you’re ok with roach infestation and water damage. I lost my entire wardrobe and had a massive cockroach infestation and the management at this place could care less. I could not give this a lower review. Be careful here!!!!
For a downtown resident it doesn't get more convenient. The location is perfect and the staff is tremendous! Jazmin is a shinning star, always greats me with a smile and more than willing to go out of her way to accommodate customers! Couldn't be more pleased.
Ana, Amanda and Martha were Awesome I came from Virginia and within 2 days storage and supplies secured and was able to move all in for storage. They all were extremely Helpful Courteous and Friendly I would highly recommend 5 Stars***** THANKS!!!! Jim M.
Raquel was awesome! She was very professional and answered all my questions. She helped me find the right space. Even tho I ended up renting on another PS location because of the access hours I wanted to give her a shout out on her great customer service.
Sara was really helpful and patient with my disabilities. She went above and beyond to make my visit comfortable and easy. Great customer service! The only downside were the hours and lack of parking storage so she helped me rent at a different location.
Both ladies at the front desk were very professional and courteous. Emily and Maria made my visit fun and humorous. They explained the warehouse procedures in a very easy to follow way. I will recommend this facility to all of my family and friends!
Thank you so much to April and Gisel, the wonderful employees who helped me with my move-in and move-out! They were so positive, helpful, and caring! They took time to answer all of my questions and made my moves smooth and easy experiences.
It is Friday and according to the website they close at 6pm. I was just chased out by a very rude staff member at 5:43pm saying that are closed. I got an item on my dolly and just about to go up, she expects me to take it back to my car and
Omg, was in a rush, worried about time and the online reservation being weird. I spoke with Angela when I got there she help me out right away! Omg made it so much easier and less stressful. My day is change. Thank you so much Angela! GIVE
The staff here was very friendly and helpful. This was my first time using a storage unit and they answered all of my questions and helped me every step of the way. I rented the unit in June and just moved out yesterday so having come full
The frist thing you notice is how clean and neat the place is . The layout is good. Lots of room to move in and out. It's good. Look around you will see that this place makes the rest of the block look good to. It stands out. Easy to get
Today I had pleasant opportunity to meet Gisel at 16th st. I must say she was.very kind and very professional. The facility is very well maintained and clean. They have an app where you can open the gate and use for elevators. Great place
Glad they are high tech now and have all the gate locks, including the inside building, on an app where I can use to unlock the gates. Great deal. Own side, Can't ever find a cart to help me and hours are not convenient for night access.
La Toya and the rest of the crew are amazing! Always there with any questions I may have and willing to go the extra mile with everyone I see them interact with! Businesses should follow their example of very impressive customer service!
Super clean & well-kept property! was very impressed with the staff, especially one person, i think her name was Evelyn. she was very quick at what she does & generous beyond my expectations. 10/10 would recommend this facility to anyone
I’ve never rented a storage unit before and was a little hesitant. Gisel was SUPER helpful throughout the process of helping me get setup. I was positive I would need the largest unit, but she reassured me with the amount of stuff I was
I am new to using a public storage so I had a plethora of questions. Alesha was able to answer them all and gave me a quick walk around to see if it would be the right fit for me. Definitely going to recommend to my friends in the area!
Emily and Raquel gave excellent customer service. Not only were they friendly and professional, they actually took time to answer all questions I had. The location of this property is very convenient and they keep everything very clean.
It was a bit warm while moving my items, so make sure that movers are dressed lightly. The 5' x 10' space has ample space for those that are moving with not a lot of things. The person helping me check into the storage unit, Ana, was
Wonderful experience! Jared was super friendly and set us up quickly. He didn't miss a beat, explained everything in full and answered all of our questions. This location is very secure and they run a tight ship. Highly recommend!
Gisel and Priscilla have always been such a help. The service and cleanliness here is top notch. Always helpful in stressful situations but the above and beyond attitude from both ladies makes this storage facility the best.
I've been here for 10 years and never had a bad experience. The staff have been wonderful to me and to my spouse. David and Emily are wonderful, professional, and deal great with homeless people. I give this place 10 stars!
Great customer service! They are awesome. Raquel, Jazmin and Chris are people that you can trust. I feel safe leaving my stuff there as long as Public Storage keep having people like them. Keep up the good work. God Bless!
Mike, saved me money. I went for a 5×5 and he gave me a 10×10 for way less. I loved his customer service skills. I am happy with my rental. It's clean and spacious. Well worth my little money im paying. Thank you MIKE!!!!
Gisel was so professional I felt like I can’t do no wrong from renting here at public storage she even helped me out with moisture control with a few damp rids…and I love how highly controlled this environment is
Chris is the best! I showed up right as he was closing and he still let me start the rental of my unit, went a shower me the unit and was all around understanding. Outstanding service!! The guy deserves a raise!!
Came in to get a unit quote and Evelyn gave me great assistance on helping me have a great idea on how much storage I needed. She will definitely see me when my deployment comes! Thank you for the great service.
I have the greatest time taking with the staff here! David, Emily and Gabe treat you like family and make coming here worth it. The facility is clean, and the locals are more entertaining than a soap opera.
Exceptionally kind of knowledgeable staff and Stephanie was very helpful and the sweetest person I am very happy with the service and I received today and recommend this place to everyone!!!!!
Dulce was awesome! She was kind, polite, patient, and very helpful on this rainy San Diego day. I’ve been using this storage for several years and I e consistently had a positive experience.
I love storing at this facility. The staff is very friendly and they help me when I have issues. Alicia just helped me figure out how to use the app to open the gate. Thank you!
Ana was a true professional. I've been involved with customer service for years. She was definitely world class talent. True experience with her.. Answer all my questions.
Dulce is a very nice employee. I had issues with my account and were able to resolve it right away. She was kind to me. She has a very good customer service skills.
Very clean and friendly service! Gisel answered all my questions and was very knowledgeable. I would recommend this place and the customer service to my friends!
Very helpful staff, lots of open parking, gated parking area, many options to help with packing including boxes, bubble wrap, paper, mattress covers and more
