Public Storage

No thanks man. We stopped here yesterday to inquire about a unit, and when we showed up at around 3 pm, (Saturday hours are until 5), the office was closed, with a note that they would be back around 4. Ok… so, we wasted an hour and came back to find that the sole employee was finally back. We walk into the smallest office I’ve ever stood in, and chatted for a minute about a unit, before being led to the unit.
I probably should’ve noted that this place is RUN. DOWN. The buildings look like tin WWII barracks. The gates have chain and pad locks, not like proper locks with handles and what not. Everything is rusted and key accessible, not modern punch code locks. There is ZERO parking for the front. So, we walk to our unit and when he opens it up, it was pretty obvious, like it wasn’t already, that we weren’t staying there. First, there was a huge 6×6 structural beam that was cutting into the room you had to store things. There were 2 large metal brackets hanging from the ceiling, doing the same thing. I asked what those brackets were for, as they were just hanging there taking up room, and I was told that they were for the old garage doors that were previously used as doors on the units. So, I asked, «well, you have new doors now, and these aren’t doing ANYTHING but taking space away from the room… can you remove them?» He scoffed, and then told me, «nah man… they ain’t gonna do that for you.» What?! SO, I ask, «well, it looks like theyre just bolted into the ceiling… can I take them down?» To that he says, «your lease states you can not modify the room in any way.» Ugh. I asked what time the gate stops working for the night, and he said that although the sign says 9pm, because of «a glitch in the system, you could be locked in as early as 8:30, sometimes 8:15.» Thats a direct quote. Theres a glitch in the locking system that basically randomly locks the gate BEFORE THE POSTED TIME! I asked, «well, what happens if you’re locked in?» He says, and AGAIN, I’m QUOTING, «If I’m not home, you’re not going anywhere. You can WALK out through the gate, but you have to park your car inside.» So, if I get randomly locked in by your glitchy system, I have to WALK HOME? Um… pardon my french here, but FUCK YOU. Oh, and for all those luxurious amenities, it was $ 126 a month. GTFOH.
At this point we promptly about faced and burned rubber out of the non parking lot, never to return. I’m not sure all Public Storages are like this, but THIS hot ghetto mess of one, should be avoided at ALL costs.
