Bridgette, Cynthia, and Chandice were all very kind and helped me move in easy!
If I could I would give this place ZERO stars! I will never again in my life use public storage! If you read this take heed from someone who regrets ever having a storage here for a year! When I first started renting my unit price was 172 a few months later it went higher. By the time I gave up on this storage my unit was 281.00. Second red flag the elevators never worked! 3rd red flag they do not prorate rent at all! If you pay on the 1st and you move out on the third you will be paying for the entire month! Last but not least because i could go on and on….they have a rat infestation! It’s horrible! I moved my belongings out and had to throw away majority of my things because they had rat shit and rat piss on it! Of course they give you a form and say fill out an insurance claim just for nothing to be done. I had a few items left in my storage and the days I went to pick my belongings up the elevator wasnt working. They wanted me to pay 300.00 for another month to get the rest of my belongings which wasnt much at all. Therefore I gave up and allowed my things to go into auction because I was over paying them and the things that were left in my unit was way cheaper than what they were charging me. I had already planned on rebuying those items. I ended up buying my own storage from the auction for way cheaper than what the storage wanted me to pay. I wish I would pay a remaining balance of anything! If anything I should be getting paid for the rat infestation they have and did I mention the missing items that were missing out of my unit?!
If I could give Ivy 10 stars I would because they work that poor sweet baby like a Hebrew slave and she prob doesnt get paid half of what shes worth.
Public storage you all need to do better you all dont care anything about anyone. Thats a money scam! DO NOT RENT DO NOT RENT DO NOT RENT!
Bridgett and Susie was so nice and helpful
They made the process so smooth
This was the best rental experience I’ve had thus far. Ms. Kimberly is very professional, knowledgeable and most of all helpful. I will definitely use this location again in the future.
Great facility!
Friendly staff !!
There is a pest control issue. Mice & rats scurrying around. There is a foul smell upon entering the facilities. There are no dolly’s for use. When I arrived to visit my unit there were several couples removing what they described as “the rest” of their belongings. As they were sent video surveillance footage showing units being broken into & their items being removed. The property manager was not present to rectify the issue or offer any apologies.
I enjoy using this storage, it’s the safest place I trust. Ms. Ivy is very helpful and met all my needs. I really appreciate her 💜
My daughter’s storage unit was broken into and she was not notified for over a month. Her storage unit was wiped out and some memories that were stolen can never be replaced. Public Storage collected the monthly rent without missing a beat but failed to provide a safe and secure location for their customers’ cherished valuables. This experience has been extremely devastating for my daughter and completely unnecessary had Public Storage invested in security and actually cared about their customers belongings. I find comfort in knowing that God will get the criminals who stole my daughter’s belongings and God will get them better than any man can. Amen!
If you want your items stolen this is the place for you. Multiple units have been burglarized these past 2 months. Insurance only covers up to $5,000.
Great service, extremely convenient online set up!! Andrew was extremely helpful
Easy online to get a unit, large and clean and climate control and easy access elevators & great hours to get to unit 6:00 am to 9:00 pm
Great staff! Very attentive and knowledgeable.
The facility is nice!👍🏾
Horrible customer service please don’t waste your time here . Worker was rude I picked up a locker at this location on Saturday Made it to the location at 1pm WAITED outside the office until 3 pm . I had other locations to pick at went to the location on Stella Link office was closed but wait was not 2 hours about 15 or 20 minutes was greeted with a smile . 😊 The worker at Old Spanish never acknowledged me she just ignored and she kept walking she kept saying she doesn’t work at this location very rude. If you don’t like your job maybe working in customer service is not for you !! I never picked up my unit at that location the a lock was not removed and I would like a refund.
I was having trouble trying to find the right unit for my things ivy’s suggestion for a unit was perfect fit for all my things she also helped me set up my account it was quick and easy and I was glad she was there to help
Latoiya was amazing with her customer service staying late to help me was very beneficial to me will definitely come back if needing more help
Chyneen was so amazing and kind to me!! Service was sweet and generous!!❤️❤️
Ms. Ivy from public storage was very patient, kind, and very knowledgeable about their offerings.
Ivy went above and beyond making sure I had all the information I needed. Exceptional customer service! Highly recommend! Great facility.
If I could give this storage facility a zero star I would. I won a storage unit at this location I didn’t have no problem the first time I came but the second time I came both elevators were down not working. No carts to put your stuff in just horrible. Then when I called to make sure they were working there was this girl didn’t ask name but she worked January 3 and 4th there at that location. Let me tell you what a nasty attitude from this person, she’s so demanding, very rude, I told her since the elevators were down we couldn’t finish picking up the unit so if we could have an extra day to clean at first she’s like it has to be cleaned out the same day then she changed her mind to another day we have.
Then since there’s no carts you are forced to drag boxes, bags, mattress everything near the elevators then the elevator doors close so quickly and if she catches you holding the door open she’ll get a nasty attitude and yell at you not to do it as if your a little kid.
Just don’t get units from here or rent them out it’s seriously not worth the stress. I won’t be coming back for sure. Yall gotta fix your employees attitude cause I’m not the only one who thinks that way of her
Gabby was amazing! Even on her WORST DAY, she was still kind, personable, and super helpful. I could tell something was bothering her however she didn’t let that stop her from giving me 100% of her time and her attention. She was patient and knowledgeable as well as honest and gave me good time frames. She even showed me my storage space a few minutes prior to closing for the day. She didn’t rush me!
I don’t know her but I love her 🥰🥰🥰🥰! She makes this location amazing! I look forward to seeing her and becoming acquaintances.
Thank you Gabby with the move in
Gabby was very helpful
Ivy helped me and my family in our time of need
Wonderful lady thanks again u are appreciated
I regret getting a storage unit here. The elevators are constantly broken (both are broken today). There was only one available cart available to use for loading/unloading items - so someone was usually using it - but eventually it went completely missing. Someone that works here told us that they’re guessing someone is keeping it in their unit now…..and it appears there are no plans to get another one lol. The entire place smells, and there are clearly people living here, I don’t feel safe coming here by myself which makes it extremely inconvenient. And to top it off I already received my first rental increase after just a few months of renting here with decreasing service….please do yourself a favor and get a storage unit literally anywhere else.
While Ivy has always been exceptional, my experience with Public Storage has been nothing short of disappointing. For over two years, the company has failed to replace the furniture dollies that are essential for customers who need to move items in or out of their units. This lack of action demonstrates a blatant disregard for customer needs and convenience.
I don’t visit often, but every time I do, I’m reminded of how little this company values its patrons. When I first rented this space, it was managed by a different company, and the difference in service quality was night and day. Once Public Storage took over, the facility rapidly deteriorated. What was once a clean, well-kept property now resembles the backdrop of a low-budget film, poorly managed and unkempt.
It’s appalling that corporate leadership would allow such a decline, prioritizing profits over basic customer service and property maintenance. I will never use Public Storage again and strongly advise anyone who values their belongings to look elsewhere. Your money and your possessions deserve to be handled with care and respect, this company clearly does not provide.
I had a very pleasant experience at public storage especially the services provided by Ms. Ivy, She was very understanding, helpful and gave excellent customer service.
Ivy introduced herself as the property manager. She was very kind and I explained to her all my needs and requirements in a unit. She provided me all the necessary information and made sure that I was happy with my service and my decision to choose Public Storage.
Gabby was very helpful with my move in I will be recommending my friends here thanks again Gabby 😚
I just want to give a big Thank you to Gabby She great with helping me out on my storage unit 😊
My client and I just had the best experience securing two different size units. Ivy, the rep on site, was helpful, professional, provided all the details we needed and explained everything very calmly & patiently. We feel she went the extra mile for us. Excellent service is hard to come by these days, but Ivy proved it can be had. Thank you Ivy!!!
Gabby was very helpful.

I came here after going to a different storage unit place that wanted to charge me 250 for a unit, NOPE!!!!!
Ivy was so helpful and sincere with me, I got a unit here with her, and the price was right!!! Thank you, Ivy!!!
Ivy was amazing. I came in frustrated about an issue with a previous location in Houston and she helped me to resolve the issue by contacting someone else to get answers. She was polite and pleasant and she turned my day around. She listened to me instead of just assuming as several other public storage representatives have done. Thank you again, Ivy!!
Ivy was extremely helpful, patient, and kind. She walked me through the process and it was smooth, and she got my reservation confirmed in a very timely manner.
Ivy the property manager is super helpful and kind - great asset to Public Storage!
Be aware that rates are adjusted to market constantly, and your rates may change/increase multiple times per year by a significant amount. This location is secure and clean.
EDIT October 2024: yet another price change, just 3 months after the last one. Our small unit just increased $40. Honestly, this company will bleed you dry. Avoid.
Gabby was so helpful and was able to help me find the perfect storage for business.

Very helpful and wiiing to assist.Nice and sweet young person knowing they're job.
Update: 2/13/24 I received a call from one of their property manager, Ivy, who followed up with me and provided the clarity I was looking for. She was very pleasant and empathetic towards my grievances and happily did what she could to reconcile.
2/12/24 Their customer service is mediocre. No matter what time within business hours I call, they are never available. I went up to their facility during business hours to ask my questions since I couldn't get a hold of them, and no one was there, as if they were closed.
I had the pleasure of getting help from ivy and she was so patience with me and my mom as we was trying to figure out our own situation….. she didn’t seem agitated at all and had great customer service
The lady in the office was very helpful, and the service was fast and friendly
My experience here was wonderful & the lady here was very nice

Someone in that position .
Kelsey is the truth!!! She has been very helpful with assisting me. I don't know how much she has saved me. But she has, since being with public storage. I'm very satisfied.

The young lady at the front desk was very nice and polite and helpful considering my situation.

I Highly Recommend To Ask For KEITH.
Mrs. Serena at 2405 Jackson was phenomenal!!! She was extremely friendly and helped us perfectly with everything that we needed.
When Public Storage took ownership of Life Storage, around December 1st 2021, I was told by a Public Storage Representative that if I was not going to sign a new rental agreement with Public Storage, i would have til the end of the month to move out without any charges or fees. Two weeks later when I moved out of my storage they charged me for the month of December and late fees. I do not appreciate being lied to. I tried to dispute over the phone and no one will return my call from corporate. Keith Hernandez at the OST location was very rude.
