PUBLIC WARNING: AVOID PUBLIC STORAGE 3415 Broad River Rd, Columbia, SC 29210 AT ALL COSTS — RAT-INFESTATION DESTROYED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF MY PROPERTY I am absolutely furious and disgusted by my experience with Public Storage. What was supposed to be a temporary storage solution (4 months) turned into a full-blown nightmare. I retrieved my belongings—only to discover that they had been infested and utterly ruined by rats. My LG washer and dryer, CHEWED UP AND DESTROYED. Completely unusable! My furniture, and mattresses, soaked in rat urine and covered in feces—which ended up all over the floors of my brand-new home when I brought my things inside, completely unaware of the contamination. Let that sink in: RAT FECES IN MY NEW HOME. After paying hundreds of dollars to store my belongings at what I assumed was a reputable facility, I’m now out thousands in damages and facing a potential health hazard. I paid Movers $827 just to move my furniture in, which was basically pointless because it all has to get removed and replaced. When I confronted the facility they told me because I did not opt for the insurance I could only get back what I paid in which was a little over $200. Insurance covers earthquakes, fires, flooding etc... a RAT INFESTATION is a BIOHAZARD!! This is disgusting, inexcusable and due to negligence by not properly exterminating. Public Storage has not offered any resolution to the issue with my belongings or the belongings of others who use this facility. These are not ants or roaches which would still be disgusting. RATS SPREAD VIRUSES AND DISEASES!!! They start PLAGUES! I asked the storage company to at least cover the cost of sanitizing my carpets and replacing my son's mattresses, they refused. This facility clearly does NOT maintain sanitary standards, nor does it care about the condition or safety of your property. No warnings. No accountability. Minimal reimbursement. Just silence and filth. So unless you want to haul contaminated furniture into your home, destroy your appliances, and risk the health of your family, DO NOT USE PUBLIC STORAGE! This issue was taken up the chain. If they don't care about a RAT INFESTATION at this location, they don't care at any of their other locations.

Life is great, especially when you have great people helping you out, Brandy and Bridgett.

Very friendly and helpful

Kristen was very helpful. She is a very professional individual that knows how to provide great customer service.

Kristen was very nice and helpful 👍

Thank you Beth you were very helpful and nice

Am new to this facility but Beth was amazing at making us feel very comfortable and was very helpful the entire time! I rate this place a 5 star! ✨

Omg Beth is amazing. She helped me submit my payment for my storage. She was very quick and helpful. I'm very grateful and thankful for her.

She has excellent customer service skills. Very patient, kind, and sweet. She is full of empathy and love great experience!

Beth was very helpful. Thank you

Horrible place. They have a serious rat problem. I should have looked at the negative reviews before trusting my stuff with this place. Please do not put your stuff in here unless you want rat poop and pee everywhere.

Worst place! They have rats everywhere! They said a guy comes out every week but that is a load of crap. If that was the case there would be no rats or not as many rats. They got to everything in our storage unit. They covered our stuff with rat pee and poop. They chewed up my furniture and got to my kids baby wipes. Insane. Why does this place have 4.6 stars? Terrible place to put your stuff. Going somewhere else next time and never using public storage again.

Rats invaded our storage unit and they did nothing to help us. When we first got the storage unit, nobody mentioned to not leave food in the storage unit because it attracts the rats. Also, no one mentioned the insurance that you can get to protect your belongings. The website didn’t even have that option. Worst storage place. I recommend storing your stuff elsewhere or at least in an inside storage container. Never using public storage again.

Thanks Beth your customer service was great

I had a couple of questions about PS but KATIE helped with what I needed she was very helpful and very friendly great customer service you rock KATIE

NOTE: THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE 3415 BROAD RIVER ROAD, COLUMBIA S.C LOCATION In April, We had a bit of a hard time accessing the actual building where the unit was as they neglected to give us the code to get in, and we didn’t know that if you get through the gate during business hours and attempt to leave AFTER business hours, the gate doesn’t open!!!! The customer service phone number is useless after hours as just goes to a voicemail. We were literally trapped at the facility until a very nice woman from across the street at another Public Storage location came over and moved the gate for us. On August 19th, when we picked up our USC student’s belongings in our small 5x5 unit, we found dead water bugs everywhere, in the hallway of the building and in her unit as well. She was freaked out and threw many of the items away. We have since cancelled the unit and will try to find another one at the end of this school year and hopefully not have the same issues. PS the rate of $30 a month went to $42 a month in only 4 months of having the unit

These are the nicest storage facility people I've dealt with. Beth is absolutely awesome and great at what she does.

The property manager is very helpful and make sure you are satisfied!! Thanks Ms. Beth and Ms. Debra for a great experience for all my needs!!

Easy access to unit

It was a very turn-key operation. My only disappointments were: 1) The app didn’t open the gate for the site. I had to use the access code. 2) Looks like the insulation in the ceiling in my storage unit is beginning to fail. The failure isn’t very far along, though a good storm may do the job.

I’m so glad I came to this public storage. Mrs. Debra and Mrs.Beth were nice and helpful. The information they gave me as so informative, I know I’m in safe hands. Come here if you need a safe place for your things!

Kristen is excellent and very good I am happy with her.

I’ve been using this location for almost 8 years and I’ve never had any issues. Beth and Brandy have been great with their customer service.

Beth was amazing and very helpful love her!!!!!best manager ever!!!

I have been a customer here for 2 years. They are soooo wonderful! They are understanding and very professional. Beth is the BEST!!! Her presence makes all the difference. She is professional, Courteous and very friendly!! Best location ever!!

Very wonderful experience.

Aerial and Brandi were so helpful when I needed a new unit with more space. Aerial took the time to make sure I knew where my space was and that I knew how to operate the door and lock. Both are very friendly and have positive spirits!

Miss Brandy and Debra were so welcoming this morning. I'm back at Publix storage because I get the best customer service there when I used you all 3 years ago. Thank you ladies for being so sweet to me. If anyone is looking for storage I recommend the one on 3415 Broad River Raod.

Omg! Kristen helped me out a lot and I really appreciate her time and patience she answered all the necessary questions I had today and I am now knowledgeable about my storage unit! Thanks public storage

Katie was super helpful in helping me pick out the right size unit and getting my contract done quickly!!!

Wonderful Staff Katie and Ariel amazing. Please promote

Kristen was very helpful as always and very knowledgeable

The property manager was very nice and extremely helpful

Been with them a few months and rent hike already... Almost double. I'll be moving my stuff immediately Edit: the GM contacted me and adjusted my rate so it wouldn't change (idk how long that'll remain). So adjusted from 1 to 4 stars.

Katie provides excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend PS due to the customer service Katie provided.

Brandy was awesome!!

Brandy Williams is AWESOME !!!

Do not rent here, rats ate all of our clothes and the warranty is a scam, it only covers $250 of damage, we lost all of our clothes and our kids baby clothes 🤬 beyond furious with public storage!!!

All of the staff are friendly and the units are very secure 🔐 and well maintained. Had units there since 2020. No issues!

Tina is a new manager here and she made my experience wonderful! She is kind and helpful, and willing to research needed information to supply quick and complete answers. Phenomenal lady and great experience!

Kristen was quick and polite in helping me when my lock was stuck. Highly recommend.

Safe place to keep my belongings. I had no issues the entire 7 months I had my things in storage. Lori was AMAZING! She helped me the entire time of my stay, and even helped me with moving out. She made the entire process very easy for me and because of her alone, I would recommend this location to anyone I know looking to store belongings. My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the rate. I initially paid $44/month when I moved in. It went up to $64/month about 2 months before I moved out. Otherwise, everything was a great experience! :)

Miss Tiffany out of her way for me five stars at 3415

Thanks Brandy for such great service!

I had a wonderful experience with Taylor! I unexpectedly came in close to closing and she was still ready to help and I didn’t feel rushed or an inconvenience . She was patient, knowledgeable, and very attentive to my needs! She was able to answer all of my questions confidently. She’s definitely an asset to Public Storage!

I hate this place the changed the rent on the storage unit with out notice and the fees are extremely to much

Annetta was a great help with my situation and very knowledgeable. Her customer service is superb. She definitely went above and beyond to ensure that my situation was handled properly. Thank you so much Annetta again for this wonderful experience and wish you the best of luck. You'll be missed🥰

Annette was quick fast and professional, thank you for the storage in such a short amount of time.

I worked with Annetta and she was very kind and helpful. This is a great place to store your items Ive had a unit for almost 2 years and haven't had any issues.

Annetta is an excellent worker, glad to have her as a property manager.

If you are looking for a great place to srore your family's most prize possessions this location has a staff that is amazing. I don't go to the location often and have been doing business with them since 2014. They go beyond to the call to make you feel like they really care. In this day and time with all that people go thru it's good to know that there are companies still out there that have an amazing staff.

Very helpful before my move-in and when checking in. Annette was courteous and informative.

Great. Clean welcoming

Annetta and Adriane was so nice and helpful to my friend and very patient with him they made us feel very welcome will recommend this public storage to anyone looking for a storage ladies job well done
