This place is a fortress for your stuff with a wonderful staff!…read more My husband and I needed a place to store our belongings for 2 months while we transitioned from our loft to our new house (which was still under construction). I knew this was the right place to house our belongings when I asked the manager during the tour if they had issues with pests or theft, and he was mortified and responded "what kind of storage unit would we be if we had pests and theft happening?!" (A response I had not gotten from a different storage unit I toured before finding R and 21st storage). He then went on to share with me all the security and pest prevention measures they take. Booking the unit was easy, the price was reasonable, and it's very clean and professionally run. They have ample available carts and do a great job with security. They also have ample parking. Also because there's only one entrance and limited hours, we felt especially confident in our items staying secure and in quality condition. Cons - the hours are somewhat limited (particularly on weekends when they close at 4) and because it's a fortress vs. drive-up it does take a bit more effort (and time if using movers) to get stuff into the single freight elevator, down the hall, into the unit etc. All that to be said, it was the "cons" which gave us a much better sense of confidence, security, and anxiety reduction leaving our belongings here. You will absolutely get an arm workout from the lifting the elevator rolling door up and down though! We can't say enough positive things about the experience and it's great that it's located right in the heart of midtown!

I've been with American River Self Storage for nearly a decade.This month marks 10 years -- and…read morethat alone should say something. I've never had an issue with my units, the grounds, or the overall safety of the facility. I genuinely enjoy being here. Over the years, I've referred many people, and at least four of my immediate family members currently rent units here as well. Office management is amazing Scott and Lawrence deserve real recognition. Scott is the on-site backbone of this facility -- the one you see constantly staying on top of the grounds, making sure everything is clean, maintained, and running smoothly day in and day out. His customer service is phenomena; he's dependable, consistent, patient, respectful, and always willing to assist. Lawrence is also phenomenal to work with -- professional, helpful, and always clear when handling anything that involves paperwork or questions. Together, Scott and Lawrence make the office run the way it should, and they're a major part of why I've stayed loyal all these years. When I need something done, they make the process simple and straightforward, every time. To be transparent, I do avoid dealing with one staff member: Ian. My interactions with him have been consistently difficult. His tone comes across condescending, like you know less than you do and he tends to complicate simple requests instead of clarifying them. A recent experience -- I was moving things between my two units and using the electrical outlet on the wall. I'd been plugged in for about two and a half hours with no problem, and then 45 minutes before closing Ian suddenly came out to tell me I wasn't allowed to use it. So it took 150 minutes for you to realize and address the issue. A few days later, I called to ask if they stil had any larger unit I oreviously discussed with Scott available so I could consolidate, and in the middle of the conversation he repeats, "And just to remind you, you also can't use the electrical outlets." At that point, it felt unnecessary. I heard you the first time I'm an adult, I understood it, and repeating it came off exactly the way my experiences with him usually feel. Aside from that, this facility has been nothing but dependable -- clean grounds, secure units, and reliable management. I've been here almost ten years, I currently have two units, and I don't plan on going anywhere else. If you're looking for a storage facility you can actually trust long-term, with staff who genuinely take care of their tenants, ask for Lawrence or Scott. They're the reason so many of us stay loyal to American River Self Storage.

The manager, Robert, was extremely helpful and spent half an hour with me answering questions and checking the storage unit and gate access to make certain everything was in working order. The facility is pristine and very modern, with a large reception area and motion-activated lights in the corridors and inside the units. Almost all of the units are internal, with none of the dust that is common at storage facilities with direct drive-up access. Robert said there are 1,200 units and I was among the first 10 renters. Initial prices are very competitive, especially for the downtown area. My rent is 15-20% less than I had been paying for a unit the same size at an older facility in an outlying area. The initial rate is guaranteed for the first six months. For now, access is quick and convenient, with no waiting for parking, elevators or carts. It will be interesting to see if that is still the case after it reaches full occupancy.

I am writing this review because of how I was treated during one of the most difficult moments of…read moremy life. What I am criticizing is the complete lack of compassion and professionalism I experienced dealing with this facility & staff. When I arrived, I was informed by scott(a staff member) that my unit had been sold. The contents of that unit included years of personal belongings, books, awards, clothing, camera equipment, and irreplaceable personal items. Instead of being told privately or with any degree of sensitivity, this information was delivered in front of other people in the lobby. This experience was humiliating. What I did not expect was the absence of basic human decency. There is a way to communicate devastating news to a customer without making them feel exposed and degraded in a public setting. There is a moral difference between an abandoned storage unit and a storage unit belonging to someone who is actively trying to save their belongings. I was not someone who disappeared, walked away, or abandoned my property. I called the week of the auction asking for help, asking for options, asking if there was anything that could be done. I was trying to save my belongings and was met with what felt like indifference and callousness. The loss of my belongings was painful enough. The manner in which the information was delivered made an already heartbreaking situation significantly worse. People going through storage auctions are often experiencing financial hardship, family crises, illness, job loss, or other major life difficulties. They deserve professionalism, dignity, and privacy. That was not my experience. This facility does not employ good people. They only want to humiliate you. What I will remember most is not that my unit was sold. I will remember how little compassion was shown to someone who was desperately trying to prevent it from happening. If you rent here, understand that when you fall on hard times, you may be treated as an account balance rather than a human being. I now associate this facility & the people they employed with one of the worst moments of my life. I will never recover from this. I am devastated. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS FACILITY OR COMPANY.
