1-star Google reviewVi L.Edited 4 years ago
Doesn't seem to me that there is any real professionalism at this place. Between staff and owner I'm extremely disappointed and wish there was space elsewhere available to rent. For 2 months I spoke with the owner re my situation and seemed helpful until I actually needed my vehicle there. The first 2 months I paid for an outdoor spot and without my vehicle there. The site manager refrained from telling me about the prepayment promotion until I went there to pay in person for the first month.

Thank you for your review. The rent increases do happen as the operational costs (security, site cleaning, pets control and general upkeep, etc.) do increase periodically, as they do with our own homes, and this allows us to continue providing the services we do for our tenants.We do our very best…

The only reason they didn't get a 1 star rating was that they do store your items, but the management is horrible... We rented a locker and were told our number was 321 (or something) and when we got to it, it was already locked and in use. …

Hi Zach. My apologies about responding to you now. In regards to this review, in all honesty, a duplicate account was somehow created for us and it wasn't being monitored. I did find it last week and it has now been claimed and migrated with our current Google account.

I found the pricing quite high, but that was the only negative. Stored my stuff throughout the winter and spring and I had no damage or moisture issues. Silvio is great to deal with; he has the best customer-service skills I've seen for a long time!

Had a great experience with Apple Storage on Hewitson. Silvio was very professional and courteous. Apple Storage is lucky to have him. Perhaps he can train some of the managers from your other locations. They were not as professional and courteous. I will suggest Hewitson Apple Storage to anyone looking to store. 😁 …
