Feeling scammed. Every 4 months, they'll send a postcard increasing your rate by 25-35%. There's nothing on the website to indicate a "promotional rate", but when I call to ask about the increase, they say it's because I was on a promotional rate. I also didn't get the storage unit I paid for, which was a 10' x 10' unit. Instead, they gave me two 5' x 10' units next to each other, which can't accommodate the same size items.

Had an excellent experience. At this specific location, the manager (I believe his name was Ken) was always super accommodating and quick. Got a notification 6 months into my lease that my price was doubling (I had initially missed that I was getting a discounted rate), so I called, and Ken helped me out. Called his superiors right away, and got me another 6 months at my original rate. I accidentally left my lock open a couple times. They called me within a few hours to let me know so I could get back and lock it. These folks were really on top of it. Best experience I’ve had at a storage facility. Highly highly highly recommend.

I've used Extra Space for over 7 years now, in multiple locations. I've never had a bad experience, or a time when I needed support that it wasn't given. Thanks to the staff at these great storage facilities...
