DO NOT RENT HERE!!!!! Cross-posting to other locations due to terrible customer service at the Halsted & Cermak location this place is a scam.
ALL elevators out and are not communicating timelines for a repair or offering any discounts or refunds.
Letting all elevators go out of order is unacceptable after constantly raising rates. Extremely unprofessional and basically a scam.
IF you are looking for storage - DO NOT RENT HERE!
If you rent here now- MOVE OUT! (if they ever fix the elevator)

Jessica and Angel were fantastic. They helped me find the perfect unit for my needs, gave me a tour of the facility so I could understand how everything works, and gave me a great deal on the price too. The building itself is modern and clean, easily accessible and plenty of nearby parking. My unit was spacious, clean, and exactly as promised. Very impressed with the customer service.

Signing up was easy online and Jessica was very helpful and showed me to the unit. I have used Extra Space Storage twice now and it has always been very easy and quick to get a unit.

The team at the Ashland Ave. location were great! I originally booked my unit via the national call center (which I wasn’t necessarily aware of) but when I went on site to ask a few more questions, the team gave me a more personalized assessment of my needs and easily upgraded the size of my unit.
Jessica was awesome at explaining the difference and getting me into a unit that better suited my needs. She even walked me through how I would access the building and my unit the day of my move. She even walked me through using my own personal lock!
My situation is very stressful at the moment, but I feel so much more at ease because of the customer service she provided.
