Raised my rent almost 100% in under 12 months. The first increase just 4 months after I moved my belongings in. From $250 per month to $495 per month. All while there are larger units available on the site for cheaper but then I would have to hire help to move from one unit to another. Reached out to management multiple times and finally received a reply after almost 4 weeks that there was nothing they could do on pricing but could offer me a one time credit of $119.
Also had a water leak in the facility. Luckily there was minimal water in my unit but it took a while just to confirm if my belongings we in fact damaged and I know some units were not a luck as I was by reading other reviews.
There are many other storage options in the area and I would highly suggest using one of them. I wish I would have.
Tiffany is amazinggggggg. My husband and I came in confused about storage spaces… She helped us understand what space was great for us. She answered all of our many questions… She is the bomb.com 😁😁😁… She showed us different rooms and spoke to us like we were family instead of customers who asked a lot of questions…
Tiffany was extremely helpful and pleasant! She walked me through the building and helped me access the propery.
I love the clean environment and great customer service
Tiffany was a great help today with moving me in.
The Public Storage worker was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the process easy. The facility was clean and secure. Highly recommend!
The property manager Tiffany is very rude and disrespectful, The property has rats and they walk a big pitbull off of the leash from the apartment which is very unsafe for the customers. My property was ruined by rat urine and feces and Tiffany was very rude and unhelpful about it. I store at many locations but this is by far the worst.
Tiffany was beyond helpful! She was so nice and helpful I trust her with my stuff being stored here!
Tiffany was awesome with my move in today she has amazing customer service and will recommend services here
I strongly recommend not to use. My family photos and records were water-damaged when an unprotected sprinkler line broke. I got a notice from them while on vacation. The company takes no responsibility. As I was moving my precious wet things out, another user was complaining about rat feces. Be aware that anything you store there is subject to damage and if that happens, no one will help you.
Terry was very helpful
Tiffany has been been a great support here with my things for years. Her love and caring is always appreciated
Manager Brittany is great! She efficiently answered all of my questions about storage, supplies, and what to expect. She asked me a few questions about what and how much I was moving, and helped me figure out how many boxes I really needed. I would have been severely under prepared if it wasn't for her. She made me feel like a person and not just a customer. Excellent service.
I appreciate the accessible access and the friendliness of the manager.
This is a great and easy to access public storage unit. I had the pleasure to work with Tiffany at this unit and she is great! Wonderful person and easy to work with. Absolutely deserves a raise!
This stoarage facility is fantastic. Very clean, organized, super easy to access (both in person), plus the app/online experience is great. Best of all is the sweet, kind, helpful Tiffany who runs the front office. She's such a pleasure to work with, always smiling and willing to assist. While a storage facililty may just seem like a commodity, customer service, ease of use with technology can really make a difference. I highly recommend Public Storage. And again, thank you Tiffany!
After signing up via phone and given an access code, I was unable to access my space. They failed to tell me access is closed after 6pm.
Tiffany at N Elston is one of the sweetest and nicest people i have met. She was very helpful with my issue.
Service was amazing I’m a POT vender Tiffany had amazing customer service skills and was very helpful.
I really enjoy this public storage lockers they are clean professional hood hours and easy to get too and their mgr Tiffany at the elston location in Chicago is awesome and will take good care of. You !!! Sincerely Robert’s and her mother Jacqueline
Long time customer - this facility is well run, clean, and great with communication. Tiffany the manager was super helpful with a pricing question recently. thanks!
Thanks to the DM for reaching out and providing exceptional customer service
This place is extremely over priced not only did I get my rent for storage up'd twice in not even a year, this place is always changing policies to add on more fees and they are very ridiculous, once you are late 6 days you are no longer able to access your unit as they hold your stuff hostage as if life doesn't happen. I would never recommend nor come back to this place. They love to milk customer pockets!
The customer service at the Public Storage location on Elston is second to none!
Mari was the representative that helped me through my reservation process and she was really thoughtful and knowledgeable. I really appreciate her consideration and hard work!!
Tiffany was very informative and very fun she helped me decide on the right size of storage to pick and she was very attentive great Custmer service highly recommended
Tiffany is the best at customer service. She got me in and out. Always with a big smile and willing to help with all your needs. Definitely a better experience than what I've had at other storages.
Great storage location and always clean! Tiffany from the office is amazing, thank you for all the help and great service!
Have have to say Mari is super helpful and friendly not to mention one hard worker I have have seen her a different locations and she’s always busy. I appreciate a hard worker and think they should get credit when do. Public Storage you got a good one there.
Christina was very helpful with helping me get a great deal!
The best service ever. Loved the team and would highly recommend. Laquita was the most professional and easy to get along with.
I was very impressed with the service I received at Public Storage on North Elston. The staff were very accommodating and helpful throughout the month that I rented a space there. I needed a storage space to stage some of my boxes in preparation for a move and I would highly recommend this location for your needs. Accessing the unit and making payments is easy thanks to the app, but it was the staff who made the difference. Thanks to Rebecca, Christina, and Mary for your help!
Additionally today, I was helped by Mari whom was very helpful as well. Still a 5 star review at this location! Thanks! I've had several different units over the years at this specific storage space and Kayla was extremely helpful there today. I never leave reviews, but felt this was a day I had no choice to leave a 5 star review. Thanks!!
Christina Thank you

Tiff hooked me up lady know how to bring them customers in and keep em coming back
Do not store your belongings here. When I moved out after a year and a half I unpacked my items to find them totally ruined by water damage. No one at Public Storage will address the issue. Their only response is to take it up with my insurance. The items are gross and moldy. I was paying over $160 a month to “safely” store my things. So upsetting. I wasted so much money renting a space at this location only to find out they were getting destroyed for months.
Tiffany was the best, hands down one of the best customer service experience I’ve ever dealt with thank you for your service
Stephanie, the facility Manager was great!! She accommodated my needs and was very helpful and professional.
Tiffany has been a great help today with getting me started on my storage today
Best service ever tiffany thank you
I'd like to give a special thanks and shout out to one of the customer service people working here. She's very pleasant and incredibly helpful and makes my experience at the storage unit a lot easier.
Great and clear walkthrough by Tiffany. The whole process was simple and quickly.
Very nice facility. I had a ton of questions that Ivory was extremely willing & able to answer!! I’d recommend this to anybody looking to open a unit, you won’t be disappointed.
Tiffany was a great help today
Tiffany was a true help with our move out today.
Came in for info for my unit Tiffany was a pleasure
Tiffany was awesome. Definitely will use this location again.
Tiffany was a great help explain everything step by step
Tiffany was incredibly helpful and walked me through step by step how to access my unit and manage the app. She also gave me some bottled water! Fantastic service, would recommend.
Tiffany really helped me out. And was patient helping me. Appreciate it
Tiffany was the absolute best. She was personable, knowledgeable, and made signing up for our storage space a breeze. I felt comfortable and trusted that we were in the right hands. She even walked us through the app to make sure I felt comfortable on how to access all our information.
Tiffany and her team were great! Would definitely use again!!
Tiffany, of Public Storage at 1916 N. Elston, has been a God-send with her kindness & competency. Thank you for helping me, Tiffany.
Storage unit was nice and clean. Rented it out for over a year. Checking out was easy. I had the pleasure to work with Rebecca. She was friendly and answered all my questions and made sure my move out was as smooth as can be! Thank you!!
The facility is clean and accessible BUT the management could better their communication.
I rented a unit for 3 months last year July to October and in September due to heavy rain the basement flooded but I never received any calls, messages, or email until 2 weeks after the flood. I received an email stating my unit could potentially be affected by the flood and I should come by to check it.
2 weeks! By the time I got there - my clothes were molded, my furniture had water damage , woods split, metals rusted,everything was MOLDED to no saving.
It happened back in September 2022 and just now in April 2023, I JUST FINALLY SETTLED MY INSURANCE CLAIM.
Please work on your communication! People could have their livelihood in your units and even reaching out a day early can help!!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Tiffany from Public Storage, and I have to say, she is absolutely amazing! Her customer service skills are top-notch, and she went above and beyond to ensure that my storage needs were met.
From the moment I walked in, Tiffany greeted me with a warm smile and a friendly demeanor. She listened attentively to my concerns and questions, and took the time to explain all of the options available to me in a clear and concise manner.
Tiffany was patient and understanding throughout the entire process, and made sure that I was completely satisfied with my storage unit before I left. She even followed up with me a few days later to see how everything was going and to make sure that I didn't have any additional questions or concerns.
Overall, I cannot recommend Tiffany from Public Storage enough! Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication to customer service truly set her apart. If you're looking for a storage facility with excellent service, look no further than Tiffany and Public Storage!
Tiffany at Public Storage rocks ! Very helpful and friendly
Tiffany was the bomb bomb.

Never thought I'd write a rave review for a storage center but this place rocks. Tiffany the property manager is a superstar and went above and beyond to help us out in a pinch and truly saved the day for our move. The facility was well kept and easy to navigate. Prices for city storage also seem very reasonable. I highly recommend this storage location if you're near the area.
Excellent service miss Tiffany and her whole staff are nice and time saving even down to the lock I highly recommend this location for your property they treat it as if it’s theirs
Tiffany was extremely helpful and friendly ! The facility is clean and I feel safe locking in my storage at this location ☺️

Very good place to do business with. Sergio is very easy and professional to work with, helped me out when checking out of our two units Thanks!
Great convenient location, parking and secured area for unloading. Tiffany the on-site agent was great, she answered all my questions and Gave us a tour of the available units.
Love the location, always very clean and the manager Tiffany was very helpful, she made sure that we were able to access the locker and safely stored our stuff. Would definitely recommend renting here.
I had such an amazing experience working with Tiffany! I had a storage unit but came in to upgrade and Tiffany helped me out when she should have been on break! She jumped up immediately to help. She also got me the best deal out there!!! Highly recommend!
Tiffany was amazing. Couldn’t have made my experience easier. Will definitely be coming back to her for my future storage needs
Tiffany SAVED my day. I was moving from a different brand storage facility (the price doubled at the old facility) and when I got to public storage, there was an issue with my unit. Tiffany not only helped get me into another unit, but she moved over my paperwork seamlessly and efficiently — and made sure that my new unit was ready to go. She was such a pleasure to work with and I’m glad she’s the property manager.
Listen this has been my storage provider for the past 3 years. I normally interact with Tiffany and she is always a pleasure to speak with. She is very informative and responsive and always there when you need her! Thank you!
Tiffany has always been out standing and I missed her and her professionalism . She is an amazing manager and I hope to see her back.
I've been to this office 3 times now during business hours and no one is ever here. This location needs new staff
Tiffany was terrific. Rental was smooth, fast and easy!
