1-star Google reviewNichole D.8 years ago
Every time I have dealt with the lady in the office she is extremely rude. She acts as if I am stupid for asking certain questions. I think customer service is non existent here and unfortunately, they were the closest to where we are located and most affordable. Just sad that affordability equates to such a lack of professionalism and customer service. I will just have to refrain from calling or speaking to the office until we are able to vacate.

I will NEVER come back to this place to rent a storage unit! I've never been to a work place where the employees treat you as badly as they did. I have been looking for a storage unit with cheap price so I was looking online at all the available units in my area. American Eagle had a 15x30 listed online, so I went in to check out the unit in person. I walked in and began asking the lady at the front desk about the unit. She cuts me off and snobbly said " what?!

We've been customers of American Eagle Self-Storage for more than 20 years. The office staff was always polite, communicative, and helpful; perfect for this type of business. Sadly, the employees retired en masse and the new staff hasn't …

Hi Dan, We are still the same ownership and when Shelly retired we hired a new manager. The staff are just following the rules we have in place. In checking your account we have quite a few notes where we were in touch with you and your wife in regards to leaving your unit unsecured and that we had…

What satisfied customers point to

The same method, applied to the four and five star reviews. Most movers are praised for the same handful of things, so what is missing here is often as telling as what is present.
