Bay Area Self Storage

Our office has used Bay Area Self Storage since 2000. We have been very happy and satisfied with this service. The management is friendly and accommodating. There was even one time we accidentally left our key in the lock to our storage unit and they called us right away.
We finally decided to downgrade/​get rid of our storage and the management was so easy to work with. We were scheduled to move out at the end of September but needed another month and she was just so nice about everything. Would highly recommend this storage company!

I used Bay Area Self Storage to store my client’s case files and to also store personal things like furniture, books, baseball cards, etc. I found Bay Area Self Storage to be a very reliable and convenient storage facility over the years. The units are extremely clean. I felt their on site security system of video cameras and alarms were more than adequate. In addition, management was professional and very easy to work with.
Pros: Lots of carts to haul stuff up to the units; in door facility to keep things clean and minimize potential water damage; huge elevator; really nice staff to work with; and 24 hour security.
Cons: It might cost a little more than other storage units but if you are storing valuable things it is well worth the value.

Since this place was highly rated on Unilocal,I went to get a quote for a 5×10 locker… Upstairs… Neither of the two quoted «5×10» lockers were actually 5×10… more like 4×9 or 4×8… very misleading and false advertising.
So, I went with publicstorage instead, who had a cheaper rate for an actual 5×10 locker.

In searching for a place to store some of my belongings, I came across this place. Took a tour of the facility, and was about to sign the paperwork when I realized that I had wanted to check out one other place that was close to this location, and was cheaper.
So I told the guy I would be back, and left.
I went to the place down the street and was totally not impressed. The differences between these two places were like night and day. Bay Area Self Storage is nice, clean, professional, safe, and secure looking.
The place down the street that was slightly cheaper looked like «the ghetto». I mean it seriously looked like people were actually living in some of the storage units.
I quickly left the second place and went back to Bay Area Self Storage where I signed my paperwork happy to know that my things are going to be in a really good storage facility.
Amenities: elevators, individual unit alarms, heavy and secure gates and walls, coded entry, video cameras, and carts to move your stuff around. No golf carts or garbage dumping capabilities.

We have had the some items in a sm/​med size storage room for several months. They have easy access to most units and trolleys are always available. The prices are slightly higher, but it was so close to home. I believed my items were stored in a safe and secure storage unit. The staff is also extremely nice and friendly.
Why the 3 stars? During the monsoon of 2008 my friend’s storage unit leaked all over her items. It was extremely stressful and sad to see 90% of what she owned potentially water damaged. The staff handled the situation very well and moved her into another unit immediately. However, storage units should go to ALLLLL costs to ensure people’s items are protected from the elements. A roof leak is completely unacceptable for a storage unit.

I’m moving shortly and need to put my stuff in storage for a few months while I do some work on the house I’m moving into. I wanted s storage facility close to my new home that was convenient, secure, clean and wasn’t going to break the bank. I called approximately seven places and decided on Bay Area Self Storage. The staff was really friendly and helpful, their rates competitive and they even threw in a free lock.
There is a security gate which deactivates and re-​activates the alarm on your unit, and they have plenty of push carts available.
