Thank you, Bart, for bringing your situation to our attention. At the risk of sounding like we are in denial, we think this may be a case of mistaken identity- this review should most likely be directed to a different storage company for these reasons: 1.

I, as with several other reviews, feel this facility could have better gate hours. This is particularly difficult if you're on active duty. I've also found a cheaper indoor facility right in National City.

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.
