"My experience with Public Storage can only be described as superb"
"My girlfriend and I moved to Vancouver from Halifax, Nova Scotia on March 1st 2021 (during the covid pandemic)"
"Held a few lockers here for my business for 4 years"
"I have to give them five stars!! Vincent is always so helpful and knows his stuff, and when I said I might be moving to a new apartment and would be vacating, he said "no problem, just let us know when you think you are moving, no notice needed", etc"
"As the Owner running a very busy coffee bar, I have been with Public Storage long term for 12 years since the year this location first opened"
My experience with Public Storage can only be described as superb. The first impression one gets upon entering the facility is one of cleanliness and meticulousness. The company's dedication to maintaining a clean, orderly, and secure environment speaks volumes about its professionalism. In terms of operations, Public Storage demonstrates a level of efficiency and professionalism that is truly commendable. The process from start to finish is smooth, with all procedures being communicated clearly and carried out promptly, highlighting their commitment to customer satisfaction. What truly stood out, however, was the flexible timing provided. Public Storage understands that every customer's needs are unique, and they have done an outstanding job of accommodating a range of schedules. This flexibility eliminates the stress of rigid timing constraints, making it an absolute pleasure to use their services. As for the space itself, I found it to be just perfect for our needs. Not too large that it felt wasteful, nor too small to be cramped; it was the perfect balance of capacity and practicality. The units are well designed and utilize space efficiently, ensuring that one gets the most out of their storage unit. Of course, the facility is not without its human touch. Michael, the manager, is a perfect ambassador for Public Storage. He exemplifies the company's values of customer service and professionalism. His recommendations and advice were valuable and greatly appreciated, though the main star of this review is the facility itself. In conclusion, Public Storage presents a compelling package of cleanliness, operational efficiency, flexibility, and optimal space utilization. Whether you're storing personal belongings or business inventory, Public Storage has proven to be a top-tier solution. I wholeheartedly recommend their services for any and all of your storage needs.
My girlfriend and I moved to Vancouver from Halifax, Nova Scotia on March 1st 2021 (during the covid pandemic). We were very stressed as we had to find a place to live in before our belongings arrived. We ended up having a huge issue as the place we had initially signed the lease for was not in a clean/sanitary condition. This caused us to have to cancel our lease (however the movers were less than 5 days away). At that point we decided to get our own Storage as it seemed highly unlikely that we'd be able to find a place and sign a lease within 5 days (and the storage fees for the moving company were astronomous). When we went to the Public Storage (very stressed) and we met Vincent we were immediately met with a calm, nice, relatable and professional person. He was kind, funny and he genuinely related to our hardships! If it wasn't for his kindness my partner and I would've been in a much bigger financial pickle! Thank you again Vincent! Please accept my apology for taking this long to post a review. You've made us FANS of Public Storage (as long as all the managers are as good as you ;)
Held a few lockers here for my business for 4 years. The facility is clean, well maintained and the staff are very helpful when approached. They have several heavy duty carts to help move materials in and out. My only complaint is the temperature in during the winter months. The temperatures inside my lockers though the winter months would average 12°C - not exactly freezing but far too cold to sit in the lockers searching for documents or organizing files and equipment. The rent is on par with per square foot costs for apartments without the luxuries of comfortable temperatures. The fact I couldn't use the facility comfortably when the temperatures dropped began to have a negative effect on my business prompting me to move into bigger operating facilities which fortunately reduced my operating costs. Great facility, clean and well maintained. Fantastic staff. A little overpriced for what you get. Far too cold in the winter months if you need to spend any time in the lockers.
I have to give them five stars!! Vincent is always so helpful and knows his stuff, and when I said I might be moving to a new apartment and would be vacating, he said "no problem, just let us know when you think you are moving, no notice needed", etc. and made it so stress-free! ....and the woman there (Cathy?! Sorry I forgot your name!) is also awesome, as she explained how I could save money if I paid a few months in advance, or went on auto pay, I can't quite remember...but never pushed anything...just always helpful! And of course they always have a locker available, even though I know they are always almost full....and they had a wardrobe box I bought for my suits...and Vincent carried it to my locker for me, what a pal! ;-) I like them as they are sincere, helpful and just pleasant to deal with....that should about cover it! Oh, and I like the access hours, and the ease of just getting the locker and then when you leave...never a hassle here! ;-)
As the Owner running a very busy coffee bar, I have been with Public Storage long term for 12 years since the year this location first opened. The staff were always quite knowledgeable and helpful and the location and facilities here really helped in the running of my business. Now since my business has closed and I have some special needs in closing down my unit, I have found both Kevin and Margaret working at the front desk to be extremely helpful, friendly, and providing me with excellent customer service. It is only because of the people Public Storage hires in particular just like Kevin and Margaret, that I would definately seek this location out again when it comes time to rent a storage unit out, but next time it will be for my own personal needs. My highest recommendation goes out to this location and be sure to seek out either Kevin or Margaret in the office for their excellence and professionalism.
We needed to clear out our condo to out it on market. The location of this Public Storage was very convenient - I was able to carry items over and retrieve things on a whim. The facility was clean and seemed well-maintained. There's abundant parking and it was no trouble parking our UHaul. I noticed that the magnetized alarm chip had fallen off the front of our unit and asked one of the staff about it. He came out right away to investigate and took no time figuring out that it had gotten loose and was stuck to the back of the rolling door. It was soon replaced. I enjoyed chatting with the staff, who are a friendly bunch of guys. Our movers were late doing pickup and didn't clear out our unit on time, but the staff were surprisingly cool about it. My only misgiving is that the rate seemed quite high, but that is probably because of the neighbourhood.
I was moving out of a locker today and the first thing I did was drop several keys needed for the move (and others) down the elevator shaft. Sigh. I asked the guys in the office what could be done to retrieve them and they were helpful giving me the options (pay a lot to the elevator company to come quickly to get them or wait for monthly elevator service and get them back at no charge). I left discouraged but continued on with my move. Several hours later I received a call from the manager, Vincent Morgan, telling me he had spent considerable time fishing my keys from the pit of the elevator with a stick, light and magnet. AMAZING! This team of Vincent and Robin were so helpful, understanding and went far above and beyond in their effort to leave this customer overjoyed. Thanks guys!
Is it strange to say you have an 'amazing' relationship with your storage unit property managers?? Well, fact is I do. I am a purchasing coordinator for a busy interior design firm here in Kits and I am a regular return customer a few times a year with multiple units for rent. The excellent experience I have had with Public Storage has been solely based on my professional interactions with Lynn and Vincent. They are a perfect combination of efficient (I'm always a tornado in a hurry), informative perfectly personable. The always offer above and beyond service and i wouldn't dare consider going anywhere else for my storage needs. Thank you, Lynn and Vincent, for dealing with my constant crazy deliveries like pros. And you always make me laugh! Kindly, Marnie Anderson
Quick, easy, practically painless (well, nothing's free after all). Really clean, well-lit facility with friendly and helpful staff. Michael was super helpful, answered all my questions, and helped me make sure my needs regarding spacing were met. I know people want to do everything online (I appreciate that too), but going in person to your appointment can really help someone like me who isn't good at visualizing space and how things will fit into it. Getting advice from experts can also help with peace of mind at a time when stress is usually part of the equation. Such a pleasure to deal with friendly people with good attitudes! Makes everything easier for everyone, and I would recommend both the staff and location to anyone.
I was looking for a unit for professional purposes in Vancouver, from the Toronto area and many storage facilities were unable to accommodate our needs and in-unit delivery without being on-site. Michael (Property Manager, and his staff (Tayfun, specifically) have been INCREDIBLE to work with and have gone out of their way to accommodate our needs and ensure we were all set with exactly what we needed. Their communication has been prompt, polite, and customer service-oriented without a single challenge. I highly recommend this property and appreciate the pride that Michael and his team take in their work.
We absolutely loved our experience with Public Storage, from the moment we opened our store and required a small unit, to when we moved into a much bigger unit and finally moved out, into our own 4000 sq ft warehouse nearby. Every part of the experience was wonderful. The price was excellent, the service and team were always helpful and kind to us, and the entire process from beginning to end was seamless and great! We cannot say enough about this place! Thanks to the team there for being so awesome to us and if we ever need a storage unit again, we will come back to Public Storage. Thanks again!!
Over priced, hidden costs (mandatory insurance posing as optional, late fees if you don't pay before a certain time of the month), no security in the back entrance seeing how a group of people are constantly throwing garbage everywhere and it gets cleaned up a few days later, bathrooms are disgusting, and unsolicited emails asking me to rate them (here it is). And the reason for the 2 star is rude management who thinks acting like a child and giving unwarranted attitude is a proper way to communicate. Moving my business somewhere else.
Amazing service! Such lovely staff... Stephen was so helpful & kind. Very obvious that he loves his job, is very good at it and is more than happy to help his customers any way he can. Aida was very sweet and helpful too. I wasn't sure what storage facility to use as this one was a bit more money due to the very convenient location... I'm very happy with my choice. Very clean, convenient and secure with amazing staff to help in any way they can. Thank you for making this not so fun moving event much more enjoyable!
The Public Storage company was great at every point of my interaction with them. I called the general line to inquire about spaces and was met with a kind operator who was able to answer all of my questions. I then called the west 3rd location and was able to speak with someone right away who was kind and helpful. I went on site and was met by Michael, who was kind and so helpful. He made sure I was set up well and answered any questions I had. Overall great experience with this company and the W 3rd location.
I have rented two units in two different locations, the second one having been recommended by the first as being less expensive. The staff in both locations were friendly, helpful, and informative. I heartily recommend this business, largely because of its employees, but the units themselves are easy to access and well-lighted. They've done everything they can to make the unwelcome task of storing one's belongings as painless as possible.
Kevin there is super nice, shows me all the details for storage with nice recommendation, also helps me the path to my own storage. The price there is awesome(I got discount from Kevin xd). The only drawback is that there is no path sign inside storage building, so you need to remember the path that the staff shows to you. Also there are steering carts help for moving, but they are hard to control. Overall, highly recommend!
I have been using Public Storage in Kits for 6 yeas and here are its positives: clean, well managed, good hours, and the staff always helpful. And if you need any supplies, the store is well stocked with boxes, tapes, wrapping etc. The location is essential for me: it's near bus routes and parking is easy if one is driving. Not sure how the rates compare to other storage lockers, but for me, it is worthwhile.
Visited this branch multiple times, staff is always welcoming and quite knowledgeable about their service range - storage units etc. When it comes to rental storage units, location is probably the main factor but if there is an x factor in this business, it's customer service for sure. They are always friendly, smiling and have that positive attitude. Will recommend this business for anyone near Kits area.
Public storage on west 3rd has been nothing but good to me. The staff is extremely friendly and always go above and beyond what is required of them. The storage itself is secure and easy to access. I’ve never had an issue here! Special shout-out to Michael and typhoon who I regularly see at the front desk. They are always willing to help. Definitely recommend this storage facility.
The staff at this Public Storage location has been extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. They do a great job with maintaining the facility and always ensure that everyone is well taken care of. Michael was very friendly and helpful, he did a superb job with assisting us and ensuring customer needs were met. I highly recommend this location for all your storage needs.
I have used this location for both business and personal storage needs over the past many years. I have ALWAYS had amazing service from Vincent and his team. Always polite, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Location is perfect and the building and units are always clean and secure. Will not hesitate to recommend or use this location again!!
The most AMAZING and trustworthy staff I've ever come in contact with! I'm currently renting a unit for my business and they have been so helpful in making sure all the shipments and paperwork run smoothly. I will definitely be using this storage facility for all my future endeavours whether it be work related or for my personal use.
The staff at Public Storage we’re absolutely fantastic to deal with. They were well prepared with documents for our appointment, ran through the orientation like a well oiled machine and had me registered and on my way very quickly. The facility was super clean and everything works. I’d highly recommend this service in a heart beat!
Wow, Santosh & Robin at the Public Storage location are so helpful. Santosh gave us a full run through the contract and talked us through any concerns we had. Robin showed us our unit and answered any questions we had about the property. Did not expect to get such good service at a storage place! Makes all the difference.
Only good things to say about this storage facility with their helpful and professional staff. Always a seamless experience when I visit and they’ve been extra helpful when I’ve needed very specific things. Can’t recommend this location enough. There’s a reason why they have many 5 star reviews as it’s well deserved.
First impression was how clean and well organized the facility is. Staff were extremely helpful and provided a tour of locker sizes, pricing, and hours of operation (7 days/wk). Rules/policies easily understandable, and competitive pricing. They sell moving boxes/supplies as well, so it’s a one-stop shop. Recommend!
Good business but wish they would let me sign virtually instead of forcing me into sign during the pandemic. There reason was the system isn't setup for that, I think its time to invest in tech to keep everyone safe/ make it easy for customers. But thanks for the service being open during this time :)
Outstanding service, location is very centric and the venue is brand new, clean and safe. Staff is very helpful over the phone and at the front desk. They helped me a lot in my relocation to Vancouver. The local managers Vincent, Kevin and Archana were tremendously helpful. I strongly recommend them.
Overall its well maintained and staff is helpful. Location is very convenient for me. Washrooms and moving carts are locked when the office is closed which can be inconvenient. Storage units seem really expensive but I haven't done any comparison shopping so this is probably typical for Vancouver.
Vincent was great, he helped me out with everything I needed and got me in and out quickly to catch my flight on time today. It was nice to be able to call and talk to someone over the phone especially on a Sunday. The unit is in a nice area and the building is very clean and secure.
Used Public Storage while trying to sell my place. Was able to book storage easily and everyone at the front desk was very helpful. Even better was how simple it was to cancel my storage after moving and emptying the unit. No questions asked and it was done immediately.
I love Public Storage! 10-percent discount on boxes (which I didn't expect AT ALL). Great service from everyone, but especially Archana, who was beyond friendly and helpful. Overall, I can't say enough good things about this place. They really take care of you!
Great location! Efficient friendly staff always ready to help. Generous opening hours. Good security. Clean. Dry. I'd recommend this Public Storage to anyone, especially small businesses. I couldn't run my business without Public Storage. Happy Customer
This location is certainly more expensive than some other storage options but it is well worth it. Very friendly and helpful staff, long hours to access your storage space, good parking in the lane, easy to access and always clean. Highly recommended.
As someone who has used self storage many times in the past, I can say that this is the best experience I’ve had 100%! All of the staff are so kind and knowledgeable. Tayfun especially has helped me out on several occasions!! Everyone there is a gem.
This place is very neat and clean and good for storing your stuff. The staff is very helping. Especially the turkish guy #Tyfon and his colleague were very nice and helped us. They know their job very well. Thank you for helping us bro. Keep it up.
Vincent and Tayfun were incredibly helpful. They both went out of their way to make things as seamless as possible and did everything with a genuine smile. The facilities is safe, secure, and clean. Very happy to be renting a storage unit here.
Facilities are secured yet easy to access when needed. Large moving carts are readily available to help with move in/out. Stephen and Kevin are friendly and helpful. My husband, Mike, and I will, definitively use their services again if needed.
Process was seamless with great service (look for Mike and Vincent!) and reasonable pricing. 5am to 10pm access which is more flexible than other storage facilities. Min rental period is 1 month; and other price incentives for 6months + period.
5++++ ! Michael was absolutely amazing and made my first experience using storage a breeze! I was nervous before and had a last minute panic about not having packed my stuff super well but he was very comforting and even helped me with some
Typhoon is the best, he is very professional, detailed, kind, and helpful. He and the other staff is what makes this location and companies reputation the best, without him and the other staff the experience would not be what it is today.
Super easy to organize move in and move out with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Not the cheapest option out there but the convenience of having my belongings safe and sound, and centrally located was great. Definitely would recommend!!
Convenient location! I had a great experience last time I went there to rent a unit. Michael was super friendly and logical with which options would best fit me. He's an excellent communicator. Great team there! I highly recommend them.
Convenient location! I had a great experience last time I went there to rent another unit. Michael was super efficient and friendly with my 911 request. He explained everything and also offered a fantastic deal. I highly recommend them.
The Staff is and has always been friendly and helpful. The location & hours couldn’t be more convenient. Moving carts are right by the loading door. The loading bay is very easy to use. It is very clean. I would recommend them anytime.
As always the service at this location is top notch, friendly and helpful. Over the years as my storage needs have changed the staff have always been able to accommodate me and my needs. The facility is clean, well lit and convenient.
My experience here was friendly, efficient and great value. Vincent and Tayfun helped me set up my storage unit, and suggested a promotion that saved me money for the short time I needed storage. Location is clean and safe. Recommend!
Everyone here was so fantastic today!! They helped me to my unit and told me exactly what to do to set everything up. They had fantastic attitudes and were so helpful. I am sorry I was unable to grab their names. Def recommend …
Quick, easy and great! I was able to call and reserve a space, set it all up and be storing my stuff same day. Super friendly helpful service, they guide you through the whole experience. Would highly recommend to everyone!!
Tayfun and Shahbaaz were very helpful, friendly and professional. In such a tight labour market, where it is increasingly difficult to find excellent staff, the West 3rd Avenue location is fortunate to have people like them.
I rented a unit over the summer. The service was great and staff were very friendly and helpful! The place is easy to find with several parking spots and all the processes are also easy. I highly recommend to use it:)
Pros: Clean compound, really helpful and dedicated staff. One of the guys went out of his way to personally get an estimate for emptying my storage locker. Moving supplies in the facility is also really convenient.
Using Public Storage as a place to store my university things was so much easier than I thought. The process was very much streamlined and easy to adapt to. The payment process is also very straightforward.
Michael was extremely helpful, even made suggestions on how to get my belongings to the facility when I couldn’t get a moving truck. Convenient location and really clean. Also, got a great 3 month deal
Very friendly and professional staff. The facility is very clean as well. Overall a pleasing experience. Would recommend for people who are looking for storage space within the kits/downtown area.
Absolutely the best service imaginable. First rate, clean, well organized and in my situation (freshly out of hospital) unbelievably sensitive. It's continued to be top notch in the months after.
The person I dealt with at Public Storage in Kitsilano (Michael) was extremely friendly and helpful. I also got a free month essentially thanks to Public Storage's $1 promotion. Good experience
They are the best! So helpful! They. were happy to assist with lock x2. I will never use anywhere else, The storage is very clean not like most of the other placesI have seen. Thank-you all.
Excellent facility/service- have used them for many years (over ten). Clean warm dry. Tight security, heavy duty locks and doors. Staff are knowledgeable friendly and prompt.
The have excellent service! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking o store items. It's squeaky clean, feels very safe and has easy access. Vince is a wonderful manager!
Vincent Morgan, what an awesome dude. He gave my family amazing customer service. Moving is never fun but he made our experience pretty awesome. Thank you Vincenzo. xx
Vincent assisted us with a storage rental today. He was very helpful and most pleasant. Would highly recommend PublicStorage at this location. Doesn’t get any better!
Absolutely wonderful service by staff! Very clean. Used the storage service for several months and will be certainly returning to them if I ever require it again.
The staff were super friendly! Made leaving my personal items feel much safer knowing lovely people were working here! The facilities are kept clean and secure.
My experience with public storage has been great. They responded very quickly to all emails, were friendly, and were helpful when visiting. Would recommend!
Very efficient, friendly and courteous check in. Staff were very helpful and professional. Strongly recommended. Tayfun and Vincent did an excellent job.
The staff made it quick and easy to get the right storage unit for me. The unit was easy to access and building was very secure. Would highly recommend!
Always well maintained. Prices are a bit rough for storage overall in this city so can’t give five stars for that reason, but otherwise? It’s great.
Fast and efficient service, visited this storage facility yesterday for a quote and possible unit rental. Staff was polite and informative.
We were very happy here. We had the flexibility of several units over the year that we needed it. Staff was great. Place is spotless clean.
Super friendly and helpful!! They were able to find us extra storage at the very last minute!! Very professional and accommodating.
These guys are great! Tonnes of storage and so easy to deal with. Highly recommend. Friendliest storage staff I've ever met.
