Maria or her boss actually called Des Plaines police on a Waukegan, Chicago and Cook County, police chaplain.
She told them that I was there for an excessive amount of time.
I asked the 2 officers if I could show them my Uber app.
It said that I arrived 75 minutes before and I also showed them receipts for items purchased.
They laughed and said that I was free to go.
I did straight across Busse Highway to Metro storage.
Awesome people.
Lucy was so helpful and well mannered.
I love Lucy, no matter we seen before each other she treated us with so much attention. Her professionalism is beyond compare.
One of the best storage facilities in the area management stuff is very helpful. Highly recommended.
Maria was so helpful and well mannered. The place was so clean and spotless floor.
Lucy was amazing show me the property and the unit. I loved how she care for me as I am important to her. Don't lose this girl she is gold!
Thank you Maria very patient and kind
Amazing place and Maria was amazing and attentive to what I needed definitely recommend this place for storage
Lucy Was very Helpful,with .assistance with my payment and She has the Sweetes Personality & very professional. Service Awesome.
Great place expensive
Maria and Lucy has been very courteous in handling my move out. The facility is clean and always have plenty of dolly and parking to use. Recommend this place for future use/storage.
I'm happy with the service, Maria was very helpful, and knowledgeable, always there for us,and answers all my concerns, I'll recommend this location for all my friends.
I have been a long time customer with Public Storage...around 20 years!!! I've required storage for my traveling with work needs.
I must share the most AMAZING experience..ever! The Des Plaines location is truly a shining star...Maria-manager , I believe, has been so incredible with knowledge and customer servicing that it's almost pain free to rent storage! She ALWAYS goes out of her way to assist, no matter how busy she is, or even if its past her shift time...she always comes thru!!! Even tho this storage unit is under my daughters name, we have the same last names. As I am getting older, and tiring, I am now on oxygen 24/7 due to an illness, and I do become concerned without items and where we will store them-for awhile-however I always find myself going back to Public Storage-however only when I meet up with a great customer servicing management, as Maria! I have been approached by competitors in the self storage industry...but due to Maria's kindness I shall remain at this location.
Thank you Maria, for your kindness,concerns of my health and knowledge of self storage...I cant imagine where I would be with out you!!!!

Lucy was very polite and full of energy.

Gosh she deserves a nice raise it was quite busy at that location . Amazing composure. Again. Great employee!!!Mercedes
Then I called to get some clarification regarding future payment to two storage units, I spoke to “Destiny,” regarding two payment programmed for 7-1-24. She was super patient, well oonspoken and helpful. Time will tell, If her information will match with coh pop explanation. If L
A great place to store your own treasures in appropriate conditions and high-level service that will help you in every situation and save a lot of money. You must get to know Maria because only she can take care of your business best.
Exellent clean and refreshing
Maria provided great customer service and took care of all my questions. She was very helpful.
Been here for over 3 years multi units rented and they always raise the rent let two months pass and they will raise the price on you and claim they cannot lower it but they will rent other units out of the same size for much less. I no longer have any good things to say about Public Storage.
Maria was great very helpful very polite and gave all details thanks keep up the good work
I was very impressed with this location. It was clean and the attendant on duty Maria was super sweet and professional. I needed help with the app and she was very kind and helpful with assisting me. I recommend this place for people who are looking for a clean and friendly atmosphere to store your belongings. Maria keep up the great job! Public Storage is lucky to have such a knowledgeable and hardworking employee :)

I recommend this place for people who are looking for extra storage for their belongings. I am really happy to find this place. Thank you Maria for doing a good job!
I had 2 units in Public Storage for about 2 years. My daughter had another unit for herself at the same time. We were both very happy during the entire length of our rentals; the entire facility was very clean each of the many times we were there. Maria was especially helpful each time we called for information or visited our storage units. We would definitely highly recommend this facility!
The units were clean, well kept up, and Maria was terrific and very helpful! Highly recommended.
Stopped in to ask some questions and Maria not only answered them but also provided some expert advice on protecting my items when the time comes to store!
Maria is a great manager and knows her product
Destiny was such a great help at this location, she made the rental process easy and the facility was nice and clean👍

Lace was very helpful at Public Storage at the Busses Hyw, Des Plaines Il. Thank you!
Nic is awesome, help me set up my account and everything
This location is alway clean and well kept. More important though, is that there have been several times where the staff here, especially Maria, go above and beyond to be helpful. With so many choices in storage, the service and people can make a huge difference.
Maria wasVERY helpful!!! She wrote all the info. Out for me very neat and large for easy deciphering. Kind and available!
Maria is the best. She deserves a raise.
Maria is a great employee she is very helpful kind and curtius and very welcoming to my dog
Maria is awesome. She provides great customer service and took care of all my questions. She keeps facility very clean too!
Place is always clean and quiet. Easy to park and load/unload as long as you're smart about planning your trip (last weekend of the month in the summer isn't the best idea, that's the busiest for all self-storage). Even then when I've had to come during busy times, nobody fights for carts and everyone is pleasant.
Salena and Nic helped me out with my units. Very professional and kind.
María perfecto thank you
The majority of the time when I'm here, the office is closed. But, if you happen to be there when the office is open, any one of the Customer Service Reps. will be there to help and answer any questions that you have. Or, if you're just there to take a look at different storage units, they are more than happy to help. This facility is always clean, even in the winter time and the bathrooms are always spotless.
Nic is the best guy. Super helpful.
Maria was very helpful. Also the rates are best in Des Plains.
Service here has been first rate. Maria has been consistently helpful and courtious The other lady has been also but Maria is the person I see the most.
Thank you maria for your great service

Nic is very Friendly happy to help me to set up storage. Very good:))
Great experience with Maria and Dario.
Beautiful place!
UPDATE: After posting reviews, the owner sent an email delaying the price increase for 3 months until 07/01/23. While I appreciate the offer, I'm still unsure why the company can't implement a business model that accurately predicts costs in order to maintain rates at or near the level first rented. Thanks for extending the date and I hope the July increase will be a more reasonable amount. Cheers.
Buyer beware. It is standard procedure for this Public Storage location to arbitrarily raise its rates by significant percentages. I've only been in my storage locker since mid-October 2022 and they just raised my rate from $196 to $268 (37% increase in less than 6 months). There are MANY Better Business Bureau complaints against Public Storage for this practice but the company couldn't care less about its customers based upon their canned response. I will definitely be looking for alternative storage options as I don't support unethical shady business practices. This particular facility is very clean & well run but its "bait & switch" tactic should be illegal. I forecast a class-action lawsuit in the future.
Helped my buddy move otherd day n several days !! But have to say outta mist places n been a few over years lady who worked there 1 of the friendliest n most helpful my buddy had a problem somebody else did when sighing up for unit initially not sure but mary?

Sarita is amazing she's knowledgeable and very friendly loved the service almost sad we where done.. the space was clean very bright and safe thank you for a good end of a bad day. 😃
I had public storage spaces in the past 15 years in several parts of the country. My current space is on Busse highway and Maria has been helping me to get my space since day one and she is very nice, professional and extremely helpful. Best customer service I have ever had. She is precise and gives correct information and at the same time helping to solve any problem I ever had.
Thank you Maria. It is a pleasure to work with you.
A big huge thank you to Tammy❤️❤️ and Maria. Thank you so much for all your help with the issues I was having with my storage you ladies went above and beyond and are an asset to public storage. Thank you again.
Maria and sarita help me too much and great customer service.
DONT MOVE IN HERE - GO ACROSS THE STREET TO METRO - WAY BETTER SERVICE
Moved in April 2022. Rental agreement was for 140/month with insurance for 10x15 unit (measure your units people - my 10x10 at my new place is the exact same size)
Rent went up 47$ on my 7th month (October) - they said it was regular increases to reflect market increases. I'm sorry but on what planet do market increases go up over 30% overnight? Quantity over quality company just looking to make money.
Please note: there is a section in the contract for renting that says "prices are subject to increase with 30 day notice". I figured that meant $5-$10 - clearly it means any amount.
Maria, Tracy and Todd reached out to help fix this which was great (i'd give them all 5 stars). My rent was guaranteed to stay this way THROUGH MARCH
Bill for Jan 1 received in December was $180 - going up again ay? Reached out to Public storage and HAD NO CONTACT REAGARDING THIS WHATSOEVER - not even a warning that it was going to go up which they typically do via email - NOTE: raising prices without notice is illegal.
Left messages - no responses.
Scheduled move out Dec 15 - still heard nothing. After I cleared my unit and went to the office to make sure I didn't need to do anything else, the woman at the desk asked, "How was everything while you were here?"
I told here it was bad and she said she saw some notes on my account. I asked her if there was anything that could be done regarding being refunded for days I was not there. She said she would see what she could do...... Still have heard nothing from the company.
Again - Metro Self Storage is right across the street. They have promotions just like public storage. Prices are slightly higher. It is privately owned so no corporate BS. I was introduced to several workers there who were all engaging and kind.
Maria was very helpful, patient, informative. Made my first time visit a breeze!
I'm very happy with the storage and service from Maria. Thank you for everything
I absolutely loved having my stuff here. But this place is so well maintained it's so clean the staff is so friendly I especially have to give a shout out to Maria because any questions that I had ever she was always there and always helpful. Sad to leave, but will DEFINITELY do business with again, and HIGHLY recommend!
From day one Public Storage and Maria have been extremely helpful and a positive experience. Maria has been an outstanding person to work with. She has always been available to answer questions and extremely accommodating. I would highly recommend Public Storage because of Maria’s service.
Very good and helpful place.Maria was great with customer service.
Maria is very helpful ,polite and making me feel informed about the procedures at this facility.Very clean and well maintained the property is .Maria is all about customer service excellent
Nick & Maria were extremely helpful & polite in assisting me for my storage needs.
It is very clean and having the inside loading and unloading is a great idea. The woman helping my daughter close her storage was great and made the experience easy.
Not terribly well run. Climate control worthless many things have gotten moldy. Had dumpster brought in to clean out mold and by the time I got there (next day) they allowed others to use and was half full
I went there to places very clean the person who works there Maria she was very nice n helpful
Jin is the best customer service rep ever so helpful
I called to inquire about renting a unit and the young lady was so patient with me. Maria spent a good 15 minutes talking to me about all the units, pricing and all of the options that I would have if I rented a unit. Thank you Maria for all of your help
Service from Maria was great ty
The employees are great. Sarita was very helpful. The facility is clean and well maintained. The cost of my unit increased 4+ times over the last year to almost double which is expected given the current state of the economy but it just was not sustainable for me long term.
Excellent friendly and accommodating service. Safe clean environment.
Thanks for the great service Maria
This location is perfect for us. The lot is easy in and out from less busy Busse Hwy. Liked the self-service signups and move in process very much. Love the eRental discount!. Brand new building with "just sufficient" ambient lighting is inside, which is a bit of a strain on my old eyes. My cell signal is not available inside, which was an issue at move-in for me. Only complaint is that the overhead doors conceal the presence of vehicles that are already inside. This presented an awkward exit from the garage today, as another car had just pulled up behind me as I backed out. The distraction caused a near miss of the keypad post outside of the door. All-in-all, I am satisfied the storage facility is safe and secure.
Update: new overhead doors with transparent panels have resolved my only issue with the facility.
Jin - was so helpful and humorous and gives great Customer service...he personally escorted us to our unit and reviewed the security system with us. I would highly recommend this location and this representative of Public Storage!
Jin is the best best customer service ever
Maria was a great help with getting me and my friend a unit great service and very safe and clean property would highly recommended this location and work with Maria
Maria and Chris were super helpful. The facility was super clean and nice and would definitely recommend friends and family.
Sarita was so helpful! She was very knowledgeable and friendly and a good experience
Sarita helped me on the 4th of July. She very efficient and knows what she is doing. I will back in the future if I need another storage rental.
Sarita was very helpful and kind
Sarita was very friendly and answered all the questions I had. She helped me choose the right size for me to rent. She showed me around and saw different sizes and found the right one. I never rented a storage unit before and it was great experience. Thank you
Sarita, she is very nice and helpful. She explains everything for me what I ask for and find the right size I need
Sarita, she is a nice and kind, explain to me how everything things work. Great customer service.Very friendly and great smile.
Chris was very helpful and explained what was needed for our move in and storage rental with Public Storage.
Maria was also extremely helpful with a difficult situation that was related to online booking and registration. Maria assisted with a full refund and hopefully with a non-refundable admin fee that for an additional unit by mistake.
I had an amazing service, thank you Dario
Went to look for a unit on a busy day. Maria went out of her way to show me everything. The facility was very clean and maria was very nice!
Maria was very helpful in explaining to me the different prices and size of the unit space. Came back to make it a 5 star because Maria was a nice person that I enjoy talking to.
Dario gave me an amazing service!
Great Experience Maria was very helpful and never rushed us. She took her time to explain everything.
be careful with this company, several things were left in the hallway and I asked for it and they ignored me I asked them to check the cameras and they never did and they never returned my property att mlarregui
Chris Was very professional great customer service
Chris was awesome and very helpful. Great customer service.
New and clean facility, but they need to work on their elevators because they always sound like they are are falling apart. They also keep rates low and then after a month or two they hike the rates by $50.
Maria was very helpful and understanding I really appreciate her service and help
i went to inquire about a couple different small size storage units to store some winter seasonal things away. I met this amazingly awsome girl by the name of Maria who knows her stuff. I did not rent the unit just yet but i did get some boxes and great ideas on how to store and keep my belongings.i will definitely be back and reccomend Public Storage to my friends & family. Great employee to have forsure! Id give 100 stars if i could!
Chris was very helpful and patient as he walked me through the registration process!!
Chris went above and beyond. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Taught me how to use the Public Storage app to make my transactions and access to my account and unit easy to navigate.
Maria was very helpful and on it.
Nico was the best! Exceptional customer service. Went way above and beyond
Great customer service from Maria and Sarita
Nico helpful
Very clean and just what I was looking for. Thanks to Maria for helping out my grandpa with everything about his storage unit! She was awesome and helped us out so much.
Great experience !!!! Nic was so helpful. Super clean facility with great prices !
I had Chris help me excellent service with patience answer questions I needed very polite. Got just what I needed very helpful .
Completely straight forward, no BS. Here's a tip: call your homeowners insurance provider to check if they cover you for off premesis storage. Mine did and i was able to opt out of the expensive Orange Door insurance Public Storage offers. This particular property offers a really nice enclosed drive in area so we're covered during cold and rain!
Very clean building
maria was very awesome.
Nico was very helpful and friendly.
Niko was very helpful. Very professional and kind.
I've been to this location. The manager Maria helped me in many ways when my eRental process made a trouble.
This site has a indoor parking ! So nice.
Maria was very helpful in helping me decide what size I need for my items. I will definitely consider her facility as place to store.
