I see why they pay them 12.39 a hour!! They don't care about you only want your money. Literally sat in front the building waiting patiently. Just to have the little girl say she was on lunch at 3:30pm. Thanks for unlocking the door after I got customer service on the the phone.
Mrs Valdez was very helpful and would definitely recommend this storage place. They were great.
☆☆ REVIEW - READ. IT WILL SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY
I wanted to take some time out of my day and share my experience with this Public Storage provider. I initially decided to store and rent a 10' x 15' storage unit back in March of 2023 for $126 a month with mandatory insurance required. Over the span of a 1 year and 9 months my rent steadily increased 4x's to more than double my inital rental amount (more than 100% increase)! Additionally, during my time visiting the storage facility there were some items that concerned me, which I covered in the "CONs" section below.
Needless to say, I felt I was getting ripped off and price gouged and decided to move out on Veteran's Day. I decided to rent a U-Haul truck off of 1604 and Braun and also decided to rent a 10' x 15' unit from this storage facility (for $199 with climate control) too. I spoke to the owner, Jennifer, at the U-Haul Moving & Storage of Helotes about their price increase policy and they insured me that they wouldn't raise the rent until the 5 year mark (in which it would be less than $10). Additionally, my first month rent would be free and a lock would also be provided. This offer helped smooth the transition from one storage unit to another and help covered my rental truck (and gas). Additionally, this U-Haul storage facility has available personnel on-site during their operational hours.
I'm hoping my experience and transparent review helps someone make an educated and financial decision. Additionally, I do hope that the owners at this Public Storage facility will reflect on their business and pricing practices. I don't mind steady and fair price increases, but the way you are doing business is unethical and honestly price gouging your customers. As retired Veteran, I would have liked to enjoy this holiday, but instead I was busy clearing out my storage unit. Do better.

Valdez was amazing! Made the process very smooth and easy. Super professional.
I was able to check in my storage very easy and it took no time at all.
Efrain was very helpful and explained the process very professionally. Thank you for giving me great service.
Efrain was excellent at giving me a tour and offering me about yalls promotion so I took it and he also had awesome CUSTOMER SERVICES!!!🫵🏻
Had to change unit sizes and Valdez got me taken care of in minutes. Super friendly, patient, informative, and answered all my questions. Completely satisfied.
I would give a zero if I could please do not rent these units I promise you will regret it the elevator is constantly broken they have two and I just left with both of them being broken there was no way to access my belongings and no one was at the front desk even though it's only 3:00 p.m. which is crazy someone should be there technically it's open but of course they left so now I'm here not able to access my belongings also the lady informed me at the front desk that they do raise their rates every four to six months which is ridiculous be ready to pay triple the rate.
Valdez was really helpful and attentive to all my questions and concerns, I really appreciate her help and doing business with public storage.
They were great and made the process super easy.
Kyle was so helpful and caring. You need to keep him Thanks for all your help Kyle. You made my day
Efran was alot of help getting a unit
i had reserved a 15ft storage for $53 my first month & when i got there they literally said they dont have my space that i had literally reserved. like what is the point of reserving a space then??? & then they literally doubled my price🤦🏼♀️ they didnt even try to make an acception, they didnt even OFFER to give me a discount. im really irritated with this place. i literally paid like about $100 instead of the $53 like they said.
just ridiculous. i usually only leave reviews for places i really like to put good out there in the world but they literally told me in person to leave a review on google, they emailed me, & they KEEP texting me to leave one. so here’s my experience with them.
Mary Ann was very patient, helpful and knowledgeable with assisting me with my storage unit. Overall great experience!
The guy in the front office is so amazing!!! He helped me get my angel # unit! He's very sweet and very helpful! Thank you so much!!!
Efrain was absolutely amazing, he was so helpful with us and patient.. thanks Efrain. We appreciate you!!!!
VALDEZ was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! 🤩 SUPER HELPFUL WAS Above and beyond the best you could ask for she made the process super smooth. answered all my questions. i was in n out quick! i love herrrr highly recommend 10/10!!!!!
Efrain, was very nice, and helpful, he walked me through the whole process he was always responsive on calls as well as in person. I also had spoken to other staff members on the phone, they were also very friendly and helpful. The storage facility is very clean.
This unit is very nice. Efrain was extremely helpful in addressing my billing concern. I like the climate controlled unit that I have. I understand yearly price increases are necessary. I hope the percentage increase year to year stays in the high single digits instead of the 20% range, however. But Efrain is the best!
It was a very easy and fast experience, the girl in the front (Valdez) helped me and made it hassle free
Miss Valdez was amazing and very helpful she explained everything to me detail by detail
Valdez was such a great help !!!! Great customer service :)
Thank you to Valdez she made my experience quick and easy. Loved it!!
The young lady was friendly and professional! Even though I went through the app, she was definitely the reason I decided to rent there!
Awesome location. Ms. VALDEZ is going to be a great property manager!
Service was great! Barbra was so helpful getting me a unit with yall.
We went this past week to rent a unit the young girl ... VERY NICE VERY PROFESSIONAL,, CUSTOMER SERVICE is 100%...
Valdez was knowledgeable in the storage units. She took her time to show us around and was not pushy or lazy. She definitely deserved the five star
Valdez was amazing and helped us tremendously. She is so sweet and gave us some good advice for what we are looking for.
Great storage company! The app was very easy to use, and Mrs. Valdez at the front-end has been extremely knowledgeable and useful! Thank you for such a great service.
It's ok. Lots of little issues, but it looks secure. Using the app to go in and out are difficult at times. There's 2 elevators, but only one works and it happens to be the one I'd need for my storage unit's location. I was told it won't get fixed any time soon.
Dawn is amazing at the front office!... Super helpful and knowledgeable. Not all staff is the same. She makes the difference in the decision to rent here.
Door to enter building has been broken for almost a hole month and management has not done nothing to fix it there's never anybody here to talk to and calling is a wast of time
Called and got an appointment within an hour. Curtis was there to show me a unit and helped me out with the paperwork and was in and out in roughly 10 minutes. Overall it was a super easy procedure to get what I came for. Shout out to Curtis, thanks man!
If I could give a zero I would. This place is an absolute joke! There is ZERO staff. The doors are locked even during business hours. The hours of operation posted on here are incorrect because the doors are always locked.
When you call the number listed, it's an answering service who are less than competent. I was told that the office operates by appointment only, yet you can't make an appointment.
I was given the property managers number. No answer and the voicemail says the hours of operation are
MON.-FRI. 9:30AM-6PM
SAT. & SUN. 9:30AM - 5PM
I left a voicemail and still no one has returned my call.
The office literally just there for show I guess 🤷♀️😡
Cheri was very professional and helpful
Cherish was great, she answered all my questions. Would recommend public 6.
They were very patient and kind with me.
Cheri made things so simple and efficient. Loved working with her and made the paperwork easy!
Cheri was great and very helpful. Thorough in explaining the process and answering any questions that we had, and she was also very kind.
The entry was always clean and the entrance keypads always in working condition. The entrance to the air conditioned units was covered so as vehicles could avoid rain when unloading, a well thought out design feature. The entrance provided at least 4 carts that were in excellent working condition. We never had a rodent or bug issue and our items were always in safe hands. Kudos the the manager who walked the property constantly and although a bit abrupt when asking if we were moving out whenever we saw her (we frequented our unit a lot), but it was clear her mission was to walk the property and inspect every inch of her kingdom! The property was always kept, free of debris, and the manager's communication was excellent. This was a no nonsense and direct business relationship, a rarity in today's world. The manager was prompt to answer all my questions upon move out and she never ceased to disappoint us. If I lived closer to this property, I would rent again!
Process was super easy, staff was so nice and friendly.
Cheri was very friendly and help me decide what was best for me I am very happy with her service and friendly ness and very professional and patient she is always in a good mood and friendly ness I like her very much because of her attitude very kindly and happy
Cheri provided me with excellent customer service
Even though the prices go up it’s worth having my items there

Property was clean and had carts. Very helpful. Too bad Monie was rude ( she could use a training on how to interact with tenant).
Cheri was very helpful. Awesome Job Cheri.
Cheri was awesome in helping me find a climate control storage I think she is a great asset to the company. Great attitude ang personality.
Cheri was awesome, she was very helpful to me. Thanks again!
Cheri’s customer service was unmatched! Not only was she attentive throughout the entire process, but she was also so friendly. She truly is an asset to the company.
I picked this place based on the ease of signing up from home and on the location which is close to my house. Everything seemed like it would run super smoothly, just like their initial sign-up process. However, I got to the location with a large trailer, and there are HUGE potholes on BOTH sides of their entryway. It's a busy street and there was a truck pulling out at the same time I was pulling in. Hitting these massive potholes with my 16' long trailer was SO painful and totally unavoidable. What an awful first impression. They could easily get that fixed and should put a huge priority on that!! To top things off, the app feature of proximity-based opening for the front gate didn't work, so I had to back up and move over to the keypad and go through the app to find the entry combination. I don't mind that, but I was expecting their other feature to work.
The unit was nice and the latch seemed new. No
complaints about the actual storage unit itself.
Cheri was very helpful, she answered all my questions and very knowledgeable, thank you cheri
Monie was the absolute best! Very professional and absolutely sweet! She was informative about everything and even showed me a unit to ensure I got the right size. Thank you, Monie for a great experience!
