Specific to the Glenn McConnel Pkwy facility in Charleston SC. I am extremely happy with the…read morefacility - very clean and convenient access to my unit. But very unhappy with their business practices. I received an " inital rental discount" rate and the contract reads it can be changed at any tine with 30 days notice given. Needless to say after the initial 4 months they increased my rental amount by 69%. I called and the manager said he would "see what he could do" and return my call - welp its been over a week and havent heard back. IMO they lure you in with a low rate then jack it up assuming you will just roll over and pay it rather than move your stuff. Do not recomend and will be moving to another facility. Even if I have to pay more then my "initial rental discount" rate at another facility, at least I won't be giving my money to Extra Space Storage.

I used this facility after a cross-country move to store some of my belongings for about a year and…read morea half. The staff is amazing - they are helpful, responsive and kind. I would recommend this facility to others in the area that need a temporary storage solution. I only gave it 4 stars because of the rate increases. I would not recommend it for long term storage. The rates increase multiple times within a year and a half and I ended up paying more than one of their smaller units was listed for, and more than other facilities in the area. If it weren't for the rate increases I would still have a storage unit there.

Do not store any belongings at this facility! The indoor, climate controlled units are infested…read morewith rats. The hallways and units literally smell of rodent urine, and the ground is covered in feces. Several times, we heard rats running through the HVAC ducts. The ductwork tape is now falling from the ceiling, and rat feces are literally stuck to the tape. The facility did nothing to address the significant infestation. To top it off, last month, we were notified that due to market analysis and demand, our monthly rate for our 5x5 unit (the smallest size available) was being increased from $70/month to $130/month....which is comical considering the condition of this storage facility. We could not get out of there quick enough!

I have rented a space here for several years. My biggest complaint is that they are constantly…read moreincreasing the rate. The longer that you have a unit here the more you will pay for that unit. For a long time this storage facility was a hot mess. There was zero security measures in place. It's very easy to slip inside the gate if you follow behind another vehicle. Once inside the entry gate the buildings were accessible to anyone without a code at one time and anyone could also get on the elevator to go to any floor. It was extremely unsafe. It took a murder happening on the premises to change all of that. Since the murder, there are security measures in place and codes are required to enter everything now. I am glad that there is finally more safety measures , it is just sad it took a murder for this to happen.

The other big issue is flooding at this West Ashley location. All my boxes with household items were destroyed by water and then mold. My mattress and box spring also destroyed. My furniture is covered in mold. I was not informed of the flooding and only discovered it when I went to move my things to my new home. I had to replace the linens, sofa, and clothes for a three bedroom house. Based on price, quality, and lack of customer service they do not deserve the 1 star. Also the employees are not reliable as they often quit and are no shows.

FYI... Lisa, how many applaud in these reviews, has not worked at this facility for over a year…read morenow,! She left when it went under " new management" (if you could call it that...) There are no human employees in the office anymore.. It is all apparently "virtual", with a badly working iPad sort of device that you were supposed to converse with someone on. And as someone else mentioned in one of the reviews, they seem absolutely unfamiliar with the facility. Although, look out, because if it's a "holiday", no one will help you out on this (cheap!) virtual " Communication system" The elevators are often broken down, and the last time I was told to just " walk the stairs" (with my furniture...5 stories up) The gates to drive into the facility are often wide open. Anyone can come in, and it feels absolutely unsafe. As someone else wrote in the review, they did keep barricades up in front of the sliding doors to enter the storage building when they seem to think that there was going to be a flood. There was no flood, and no one to take them down so myself and others who had to get into their storage, had to climb over them. Amazing. I advise everyone, especially parents of college students, to stay away! Six months ago, I ended up moving my things to another facility in just up the street .... 100% more secure, safe and professional.
