Very friendly and helpful staff. I had an issue online but it was my fault and the lady walked me through it over the phone.

Stored my stuff with them for a bit while in San Diego. Great location, clean and easily…read moreaccessible! Definitely recommend!

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel it's important to share an honest experience for anyone…read moreconsidering storing their personal belongings here. I was informed by Kettner Storage that my lock was allegedly loose, and without my authorization, they placed their own lock on my unit. While I understand security protocols are important, the way the situation was handled afterward was incredibly disappointing and unnecessarily difficult. I live far from the facility, and with the cost of gas and time, I sent my assistant to simply check the unit. Despite calling from the phone number listed on my account -- the same number they have previously used to contact me regarding payments and account information -- my assistant was denied access because they refused to provide the key to the lock THEY placed on my unit. After multiple calls with the supervisor, confirming my identity over the phone, acknowledging who I was, and having my account information in front of them, they still insisted I personally drive down with my physical ID to access my own belongings. What made this more frustrating was being told "not to take it personally," when the reality is that this caused a very personal inconvenience involving my time, travel, expenses, and stress. There were many reasonable solutions that could have been offered: * Allowing me to email a copy of my ID for verification * Adding my assistant temporarily to the account * Verifying identity through the account phone number and information already on file Instead, I was met with inflexibility and what I believe was dishonesty. I was later told that on April 16th I had allegedly been informed that I would need to appear in person with ID to access the unit. That conversation never happened. The discussion on that date was regarding adding my card to autopay. For people who store important belongings -- especially if you travel frequently, live far away, or may need emergency access through a trusted assistant or family member -- this is something to seriously consider. If a lock issue occurs and you cannot physically appear immediately, accessing your own belongings may become extremely difficult. Storage companies should not only provide security, but also professionalism, honesty, hospitality, and practical solutions for their customers. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. I truly wish I could leave zero stars, but one will have to do.

This has proven to be a professional moving company that is honest and has fair prices. I've moved…read morewith them twice in the past three years and both times I've been pleased with their services. I have read that a few people on yelp have had bad experiences with them, but that seems to be the minority. From what I've read there are very specific instances of people being upset about broken items and the replacement process or results not up to par with the customers expectations. But from what I've experienced the movers both times were very careful with my items and thorough in wrapping all my furniture in padding blankets and protecting my old and new house with flooring and wall covers. I'm not discounting other people's experiences or saying that they didn't happen, I just think that these were one off cases. For a moving company with so many satisfied customers and a long track history in the local area they have very competitive prices. I did market research prior to both moves and found the majority of moving companies charge at least $10 or more an hour per mover. So for a move that requires three movers at $10 an hour each, that's a $30 savings each hour. And each of my moves have taken at least six hours, that's at least $180 savings right there. Now this math doesn't take into account extra fees that each moving company seem to have, such as fuel and driving time, but out of all the moving companies I called all of those fees were very similar and perhaps standardized? Between the reviews I read on yelp and the pricing research I've done with each move, this company won my bid twice.

Hello everybody, Just to let you know these guys are absolutely fantastic. I spoke with a…read morerepresentative named Nicole. And oh my gosh her costumer service skills were way beyond top notch. So friendly and very helpful,professional, and knowledgeable and very well spoken. I can just keep writing but take my word for it try them and you will not be disappointed on your choice. Budget friendly great value for the dollar. Thanks so much for your help Nicole. I wish everyone had the same professionalism as you.Take care and be safe and stay healthy.....God Bless

Similar to another reviewer, after Storage Etc. rebranded as (or was sold to) StorQuest, they…read morejacked up my rent almost 25% last April and another 16% this month -- basically, an increase of over 40% in a span of one year. After checking reviews for other storage facilities, I noticed that rent increases do seem to be a pretty common practice. At the same time, the reviews for this particular facility are substantially poorer than any other facility nearby. And if you price compare, even the listed prices on their website are noticeably more expensive compared to many other facilities in the area. As such, I did the math, and it will be worth it for me to find another facility and pay the $400 or so to hire movers. I will be terminating my lease before my rent jumps up again next month. 4/22/25 Update: I called the number per the comment they left below, spoke to Anthony, and he said he could lower the rent from $252 per month to $235 per month for the next year. It's still a jump from the $218 I've been paying for the past year, but I decided to take it. He offered no written confirmation, though, so I I guess we'll see what happens when my next billing date rolls around ...
