A-1 Self Storage - A1 Storage - Self Storage Near Me - San Diego, California

Was not given access code nor was it online. Had to take my U-Haul to my home overnight which cost me time, effort, and money (about $100 after gas and mile fees from U-Haul company added up) as I couldn't access my unit and no one was available to give me the code until the next morning. I was offered a pathetic free lock as consolation instead of being comped 2 rental months to compensate me for the money I had lost due to their incompetence. Additionally cost of rental does not include an additional $16/month insurance fee that they force you to pay. read more

After a lot of research, I gave my information and dates for storing my car. I was given decent pricing. I received two follow-up text messages and responded to the second one and called about the space and rates to confirm. Low and behold their rates were good for six days and they no longer had the space we addressed and the new rate was about 30% higher. I said this sounds like a bait and switch to me. I can understand that situations change, but after one week? read more

I don't normally do reviews, but in this case I felt I had to. Paolo was absolutely incredible getting me set up with my storage unit. He made everything quick and hassle-free. He also went above and beyond by helping me locate my unit and showed me how to use my lock. He had a big smile on his face the whole time and was so kind. 10/10 recommend read more

Grace was awesome when I came in to register. Had a lot of great information and was very helpful.

Good customer service over the phone, they helped me to reserve unit over phone from 200+ miles away. Also clean facilities.

Staff is friendly and facility is clean. The hours of operation are also very good. Only issue I have is the frequent price increases. I don't know if this is just a common thing with self storage places but i received a notice of price increase 3 months after moving in. read more

The ladies in the office are very kind and helpful and welcoming. Easy access to the location.

This is a very safe place for women who want store items here you will feel safe. The manager Alexis. Is very nice. We had a miscommunication and mis understanding between my husband and I and the managers at the place due to our learning challenges they gave us information and we processed it differently.. we have a hard time with our learning challenges its embarrassing sometimes to ask people to dumb down what the paper work says or what it means or ask them to explain it more in detail so we can understand it better. We didn't and it turned into a mini silent war between us all. Though we are being asked to leave due to too many warnings we didn't know we got or miss understood them as warnings.. not everyone can tell we have learning challenges and cerebral palsy. We at the end found it to be safest storage facility in poway. I just recommend if you have learning challenges or any disability let them know ahead of time they are running a business and won't look for that Alexis is super nice and I can definitely would recommend talking to her she seemed to understand us is very willing to help. I just wish poway had a program where people were taught how to communicate with people and their invisible and non invisible disabilities I think this could help sooooo many businesses. read more

Love this clean, safe storage facility. The people are kind and upfront about the charges. There is a restroom on site, I haven't seen another storage facility that has that available. Awesome!

A-1 Self Storage - The entrance - Self Storage Near Me - San Diego, California

These guys have incredible service! I just got assisted by Chris renting out a storage unit and this is by far one of the best customer experiences I've had (of all time) Chris was really quick and thorough in explaining the rental process, he showed me my unit, showed me how to put the lock on (offered me a free one with yelp check in) and even offered to hold a spare key for my friend to pick up at a later time. I was in the office while Grace was on the phone and I noticed the amazing customer service she was offering to the customer on the phone too. She seems extraordinarily warm and kind in such a rare way. I'm so happy with this service (and I can even compare it to bigger ,pushy :(, storage facilities I've rented with) Plus, they have really competitive pricing on furniture covers (no need for amazon!) read more

They were very accommodating, I was driving from a few hours away and I was stuck in traffic and almost didn't make it before they closed, so they emailed me all the information I needed and even set up someone to call so when I got there I can check in over the phone. Luckily I made it just in time and was able to meet the wonderful staff. They were welcoming and very sweet. Check out was a breeze I love this location. read more

Pinkie was super nice and got me setup super quickly. I was impressed with how clean and safe the place was. They also sell amenities to make your move easier (boxcutters, boxes, dust covers, etc.). I will definitely be keeping my storage unit for awhile :) read more

Edit: management has changed since my last interaction with them. The current manager is more appreciative of customers. I'm still concerned with the practice of automatic yearly rent increases, but at least the current manager will talk about it and work with you. *** Long term renters beware. I've had a space here for years, and every year they send the same patronizing letter about how they must "reluctantly" increase rent "periodically". Periodically means exactly once a year. Being a loyal customer means nothing to them, as I'm being charged the same as a new rental. I once complained about this practice and they basically told me I could leave. What poor service. read more

The team working here is friendly and helpful. I have had a unit here since I got to San Diego back in July 2019. I would recommend this place! They offer military discounts too. They can't really help but raise their costs due to inflation, so while it's a bummer, that doesnt mean theyre evil. Just keep that in mind. I have downsized my unit from a 7.5x10 to a 5x10 in order to save $60 per month in order to help with the rising rent costs. Times are tough, but so are we! read more

Very clean and professional! Easy access and super friendly staff. Got the online special. It was the best price around.

Great facility and front staff is really helpful. Convenient access. Highly recommend!

A1 storage unit is the place to go! The help is very professional and very helpful! Theres no where else I'd rather go! read more

A-1 Self Storage - Office hours - Self Storage Near Me - San Diego, California

My husband and I stopped by to obtain info and advice on 2 different sized units. We were assisted by Grace who is the epitome of amazing customer service. She happily explained the process and showed us the two different sized units. She showed pride in her work, genuine care and made sure we were taken care of. My husband handled the paper work while I waited in the car with our kids and when all was done, Grace came to the front door to make sure she was personally able to say bye to our family and to let her know once again if she can help us with any other questions or concern with the units. Thank you, Grace for your genuine kindness and great customer service. The building, elevator, and units we saw were clean and well maintained. All walk space has adequate space to maneuver whatever you're moving in and out. There are also complimentary carts at first floor near the elevator in the event you don't have a dolly. The unit we ended up getting isn't climate controlled, but seems to be vented well. Ventilation and climate in the unit was a concern because we have items we didn't want to get damaged if it reached a really temp, especially during these summer days. If you made it this far, thanks for sticking it out and reading! read more

This place is conveniently located and easy to navigate to your storage unit. Their hours are great and the staff is very friendly. Grace went out of her way to assist us in finding the perfect unit that fit our needs and her customer service is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this location for the cleanliness, security, and hands down best customer service. Thanks Grace read more

My husband and I needed a place to store our furniture in between moving. A-1 had a variety of options to choose from. Grace at the front desk was wonderful to work with.

Great storage company, the service is great, the place is clean and plenty of security measures are taken to keep your stuff safe, No 24hr access but available till 10pm. I really liked that first months rent was free, that promotion comes and goes but is one of their most popular. read more

I needed storage for the time I am between selling and purchasing a condo. The office staff was friendly and explained everything, the facilities are clean while moving in I saw 2 people cleaning. Everyone wears masks. A yelp check in gets you a free lock! read more

We were very satisfied with the facility. Since we used the facility for less than a month, it was free. We only had to pay for some fees!

Earlier this week I needed to upgrade to a larger unit. I've been a customer at this location for several years. I called up to see what is available and what cost was going to be. I spoke to the associate 'Grace' at the branch who went above and beyond to get me something as soon as possible. Thankfully just down the corridor from my existing unit (so therefore less time and hassle to move). Many thanks to Grace for going over everything thoroughly and making this transaction so swift and easy, and getting me the best deal possible. read more

GRACE IS AMAZING!!! She is so nice and patient and has the best attitude ever!! She was made for the customer service industry, and I would rent from this location just to speak with her. read more

Grace met me with a smile and a cheerful personality! The office smelled great and I got a free lock with my check-in!!!

I "moved in" to my storage unit today! The ladies working were so friendly! They have precautions in place for Covid. My unit was easy to find and the the building was clean. I highly recommend!! read more

Great experience! Super helpful staff! Storage facility was clean and secure. I would store my stuff here again :)

Great staff and the building was well managed. Decided to go with this storage unit because it was one of the cheapest options nearby, especially with the discount they have on the first month, which was great for people like me who only needed short term storage. I completely forgot cancel my rental after the first month, but since I was still in the grace period, one of the staff, Pinkie, helped me with canceling my rental remotely and even got me a full refund for the second month! Would definitely use again if I ever need storage in the future. read more

I was running late and I called A1 and Grace answered. She said she was staying after hours and that I could come in now. That alone she went above and beyond to get me in to put my things in storage! I was so thankful she said yes. I am now stress free!! Thank you Grace!! Shes amazing!! read more

We walked in and were nicely welcomed and assisted by the front desk staff. Grace and Pinky were very helpful in explaining to us all the questions/ concerns we have in mind. With all the stress from moving we have to deal with these last couple days, we truly appreciate how professional yet humble and kind the customer service here. read more
