I have had my Grandmother’s antique valuable furniture in storage since 2022 with periodic checks on the storage unit. The process to rent and pay my monthly bills has always been seamless and I have always felt that my items were safe in storage. As I was getting ready to move the furniture two weeks ago we found a water leak from the roof of the climate controlled storage unit.

Absolutely terrible company! Local office had a representative that was awful! Rude, obnoxious and actually told lies about me to her manager. This company will promise anything you want to hear but then never follow thru and then deny having said anything. Promise to return a phone call before 5 pm and then you never hear from them again! Stay away from this company! P.S. After this was posted they sent me the standard "we're sorry to hear this, how can we fix it?" routine message.

Any if any of the notifications for increases were too late to really do anything with. Since it's no longer Sumo storage they have increased three times in less than a year. Staff is absolutely atrocious. They offer no help when needed, the website and the phone number to make payments are more of a hassle. I had had my storage unit from June 13th 2021 to November 29th 2023. And that time it is just been aggravation and far more complicated to deal with them then absolutely need be

After having my boat damaged. My gas tank wires cut and gas removed. There’s no cameras facing the area my boat is stored this is neglect on National Storage part. One of the main reasons the boat was at this storage location is because it’s gated and has cameras. It’s not a secure area if the cameras aren’t covering the entire property. I was giving the Corporation telephone number and Melissa hasn’t called me back. Thanks for nothing

Rented a unit from Sumo Storage for 6 years and never once had an issue until National Storage took over a few years ago and now my belongings have been auctioned off after renting for over 8 years!!!! This company is pathetic, they care nothing about their customers or their personal belongings!

Jody's unprofessional behavior, lack of empathy, and focus on being right rather than understanding the customers' needs are deeply concerning. As a homeless person, I felt discriminated against when she looked at me and made a judgment …

They harass you constantly! Numerous times a day. I had to block them from calling me. I was late, but I pay every month including all fees. Once they took my payment off my card without me approving it. They said the lady who took my …

I hate how they went up on prices, and insurance isn’t optional. And they don’t allow partial payments throughout the month even if you ask them to keep you locked out of it. They don’t work with you in anyway..

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.
