BEWARE * I've never left a bad review before, but I truly feel this is my duty as a consumer that has had a disgustingly awful experience with this business that I need to warn others DO NOT RENT HERE.
I had just come back from living in another state and needed to rent a unit. Unfortunately I fell for the cheaper rates, after comparing prices in the area, and there were no terrible reviews, so I figured I would move forward with them.
After over a year of my items being in storage, I was finally back in my own space and excited to remove my items from the storage unit.
As soon as the door opened, I was horrified.
There had been a VERY bad leak in the ceiling (wooden ceiling) that caused all of my items to be damaged, and beyond that- and definitely more disturbingly- there were rodent droppings EVERYWHERE. On my boxes, all over the floor, they had crawled into my belongings and left feces, I mean- it was REALLY BAD.
I immediately contacted the front desk and asked them to come to the unit- and this guy just acted like, "Well, fill out the paperwork." No empathy or apology on behalf of the company (not that it was his fault, but at least say something on behalf of the company you work for! Do you not get any training??! Or even know how to be a decent human being?), no kindness, NOTHING. Just a very curt, "Fill out the paperwork."
This wasn't just a few items being ruined- this was EVERYTHING.
And all of the sentimental items like the box of photographs of my deceased parents & relatives, all with rat crap on them.
I took pictures and then had to come back the next morning with a friend- basically in a HazMat suit- to empty the unit and throw it all in the dumpster outside.
Can you imagine digging through all of your belongings and having to throw it all away?
Knowing that it was because this business does not take proper measures with their rodent control, and well maintain their roof?
It was disgusting to see.
I didn't run into any of the other people there with units, even on my floor, to ask what their units look like - but I will share pics...if mine was THIS Bad, I can only imagine.
And the WORST part is, their service.
From day 1 - when I moved my belongings into the unit- the Manager Shane was very rude to me.
I had my reservations in that moment, but the moving truck was already pulled up with my moving cube, like I said I had done my research and reserved the space with this one already, in hindsight I should have listened to my gut.
Anyway, it's just me (a 4' tall gal) and he gives me a unit on the 2nd floor of a building, and wouldn't allow me to have the cube near the building. Which was ridiculous.
So if that was all I had to deal with, though, I would not be here writing this review.
I took all of the pictures, I wrote up my claim very meticulously, I submitted it within 30 days' time. After I sent the email, I called the office to make sure they received it and ask about next steps. The Manager Shawn answered, and again - WORST customer service. Not even a 'Sorry this happened.' or ANYTHING. Just, "Yup, we got it." and then he's ready to hang up.
And I was being patient and kind. Wow.
I actually said to hem "Wow, I cried all night the day I opened that unit and saw all of my life's belongings ruined. Then I cried all over again having to pick my belongings out of rat crap and throw it all in the garbage. I paid money EVERY MONTH - NEVER LATE- for you guys to keep my items safe, which obviously DID NOT HAPPEN, and you can't even muster a kind word or say 'have a nice day'?"
Seriously, guys, this place is so beyond a poor excuse for a business.
So after that, noone answers me back for a month!
After an entire month of noone responding, this woman 'supposedly' from Corporate that gives me a gmail email address and a personal cell phone # says that she will handle my claim. It is now over 4 months later and my claim has not been resolved.
Well, if you made it to the end, my apologies for the vent. Again, I just have to let people know what they're getting into if they decide to rent storage space here.
Pest control seems to be non-existant, they allow roofs to leak BADLY without even being aware of it, and they are absolutely the rudest group of people I have ever dealt with.
If you have any reservations at all, please message me here and I am happy to talk with you about my experience.
I am about to launch on a social media campaign on every SM platform to share how awful they are. All of my belongings ruined, and after 4+ months my claim has not been resolved and barely even acknowledged. This is NOT OKAY. This is not how you run a business.
Please do not give these people your money.
They need to be shut down so responsible and capable businesses can operate in their place. read more
