I've a few reviews some good some not good. Yes this place has get customer service. No place is completely save, but they do there best to protect what you have. That's why you should have insurance. You protect you home with the best security system and still your home gets broken into. As for the price if going up $15 are a little more is a problem, then you haven't been to Price storage. That's a place that will ripe you off. I've just movies In a unit.

I have rented my unit for almost a year and up until June I was ok with the facility but then the worst nightmare happened to me and 9 others we were violated. This place has no security system in place our units were broken into and we were robbed. The staff and management did shocked me with how little this incident was to them and how I was lied to in the beginning with my first question was "will my stuff be safe here. The lady reasurred me that each unit has it's own alarm and will go off if it is opened and your gate c... read more

Business response:

We understand how disheartening this has been, Wont. It's a difficult situation, and we are working with all of our customers throughout the claims process. We encourage you to complete the necessary paperwork to file your claim. I would like to clarify that our alarm system does not turn off at 8 PM, and that we are working with the police fully with their investigation into this matter. We would encourage you to continue work with our Area Manager, Stella, so that we can help you bring closure to this painful experience.

Been renting a garage since November 2016. Clean facility. The friendly guy left and now it's an older lady. I haven't met her yet though. The only thing negative for me is the amount of homeless people that rent and hang out in their unit all day. Some look creepy. Luckily I don't have to go through the Halls since I have a garage outside 

Business response:

We're sorry to hear you're dissatisfied, Melissa A.. We'd like to discuss your experience with you. Please email us at social@a1storage.com with your contact information so that we may further assist you.

Very friendly staff will help you find just the right size for your needs - including strange shaped units under stairs with extra space. If you don't have proof of homeowner/rental insurance, add $10/mo to whatever prices you are quoted. 

Business response:

Thank you for the feedback, Oren. You are correct, we do charge an additional $10 a month for our customer protection plan. That charge can be removed at any time once proof of insurance has been provided.
