Very friendly and easy to work with.
Ahlyiza is a super great person. She helped me with what I need and got me the perfect storage!!!!! She's a keeper!!!!💙
The experience was fast and professional. Paula helped me move in and was a great help. Thank you.
Aliza was amazing!!! I had trouble getting into the gate and she worked with me until the issue was resolved. And yes, it was human error on my part. However, she was so patient with me and very kind. She even set me up with the public storage app so that I wouldn’t have any further issues. Thank you, Aliza!!!!!!!
I want to give a huge shoutout to Paula. I was in looks for a small storage unit and Paula aided me same day. Honestly such a nice and smooth transaction. I love how convenient everything is. I personally want to thank Paula, I am struggling financially like I am sure most of us are at this time, she helped me find a good rate. That’s what great customer service is all about.
Paula was beyond helpful and patient with me. Thanks for everything and I will continue to be a Public Storage customer. She was able to work with me and find me better rate during my financial struggling time. If you visit this location , request Paula. She could help you today.
Paula helped my husband and I get a storage unit. She was extremely helpful and soooo sweet. Would definitely recommend coming to this location!
Paula was very helpful she found a great unit with an even better price. She explained everything clearly.
Real good service thanks Paula
Paula was excellent. She went above and beyond in helping me with a storage unit!
Paula,
Amazing; Easy; Clean; Knowledgeable- truly inviting. I feel that my items are safe.
I would have given Paula a7 star review if you had it. My husband is handicapped & Paula was always so nice & helpful to him.
We never had a problem calling or receiving a call back from her. When we moved out, Paula was extremely helpful & provided us with some help throughout the entire move. We were very happy with Public Storage & especially Paula since she is so effective.
Ahlyiza is very great! Very professional!
Lori

Rental went great Paula was awesome
Paula was amazingly helpful through the process of getting my storage unit !
Paula helped me today & she was such a blessing!! I’ve been to other storage places and the staff just did not care. Paula needs to be protected at all costs. Literally the best.
Okay seriously when they say “service with a smile” they started that phrase over people like Paula! 100% a people person, and she really cares about the job she’s doing! Organized, smart, and charismatic all in one is hard to find! Great job Paula, and Public Storage team
Paula was super helpful!
Store it up till spring 🌱
Paula was very helpful. She took us all around showing various units and found us the best one. So happy to rent here. Thank you Paula.
Stopped in at the Steele Street location in Elgin where Paula helped me find the best price and a unit near my location. Thank you Paula.
I've had a unit here for I think going on 4 years and previously posted a review criticizing their higher up district manager who I think wants people to have a family type feel but I just don't think his actions reflect that. However, the manager at this location completely saves the day. Paula is a completely genuine person who is always warm and inviting when communicating with her and seems to have a good rapport with other customers I've seen her talk to. I hope they realize what an asset they have with her as a manager at this location👍
Stored the contents of my entire house here while we relocated from IL to FL, a total of 8 months. Upon picking up our things, everything was covered in mold, and some electronics are broken due to high heat. So this place claims to be climate controlled, but it is far from it. Would not recommend that you store anything here that you don't want to throw away. We've now spent hundreds trying to mend the damage and Public Storage couldn't care less.
I have been a customer for two years. Paula has always been helpful, especially recently when I changed storage units.
Paula, thanks so much for your help, you guys are the best. See you in Mexico will take a few language classes hah
As being a 20 year customer and have rented. 10,20,s for my sports cars , I’ve been at the Elgin location since March past winter , Paula and Deniz have very accommodating as I visit to take my sports car out Paula was and is very accommodating very friendly and has always addressed any concerns I have had . I feel my car is in a very safe location , and the security is adequate .
Paula is the sweetest lady! So helpful every time I come to the storage. Her and Alyizah have the best attitudes! Thank you Paula and Alyizah for being kind and very helpful.
Great job Caprice Keep it up
Omg ! Caprice was super friendly outstanding job with customer service and multi tasking with everyone
Paula is always friendly and helpful. I pay my storage bill at this location ,I’m also in customer service so I know when I see someone who genuinely cares for their customers like she does. I’ve seen her go the extra mile more then once. Appreciate this young long lady so much
Amanda and Paula were so helpful and we're able to help all 5 of the customers like nothing! Very professional and helpful in every way
Paula and Irene are an awesome team. They really helped save me some money at a time that I needed. Thanks again ladies. 10 stars if I could.
Paula and Irene were the best
Paula is awsome sauce !!!!
Irene as always was very kind and always take care of her customers.
Irene and Paula were the best and so effeciant. I would recommend them to everyone.
Paula, Lori, Dez have been a great help with everything from navigating me though the store and also making my team and I feel welcomed since the second we opened the door. Grade A people. Not everyday you get a staff that is as awesome as them. Highly recommend this location.
Piper and Lori were awesome! Loved the service and the property
Absolutely despicable company. Stay Away!! I was guaranteed a rate for 12 months and 5 months in I got a notice saying my rate was going up 63% and they refused to lower it. Don’t be fooled by them.
Was the smoothest & the easiest rent experiment. Paula is the best. She helped me even to select the best plan.
Paula is so great at doing her business. I love the way she works!!!!! Ten stars if I could.
Stop at a public storage while out of town to pay a bill. Paula & Piper was extremely helpful and so polite and had a smile's that light's up the room . Paula & Piper made me feel very welcome.
Paula and Amanda are awesome with efficiency and organizational flair. Paula streamlined the move for me. Amanda’s detailed info concerning my move in we’re spectacular. Who knew moving could be a picnic
Smooth in-person experience, I was able to review the space, Piper walked me through all of the details and got me all set to move my stuff. Piper was very friendly and informative, and answered all my questions as I was signing up!
Caprice, was so helpful and informative about the business. She's a wonderful employee as well as a person. Thank you Ms. Caprice

Paula is the best Associate for Public Storage. She was and is out going and cares for what she does as well as the clients. Our interaction was great and thorough. Thanks Paula !!
UPDATE: After being a faithful customer for 2 years+, the greedy management wanted to impose a single year's increase of $80/month!! Needless to say, I moved out.
PREVIOUSLY: Exactly what we needed. Paula was more than helpful and friendly; she made it a pleasure to get the right unit at the right price!
