Stay away. My storage has been broken into and items have been stolen. Also, the lock I use is one I purchased brand new, in package, from the previous owners. Someone there currently has a master key and they are stealing from storages who have the same brand of lock. If you use a round lock, Chateau 99x, X-Type , replace it immediately. When I ask Purely Storage if they have a master key, they say no. But someone is lying.

Great service, they even called Sheriffs office when someone tried to use my gate code...until now...they keep billing me auto payments when I never set that up. They refuse to admit what they're doing and won't give you info of supervisor. Also when u do get Jarrods info he refuses to admit n own the fact that Madera manager is using fraudulent bill paying methods. I never once signed any forms to auth auto pay....but they do it....AFTER LATE CHARGES ARE ADDED. DONT USE THIS STORAGE !

I had a U-Haul pickup at 11am, I waited 2 hours and nobody ever came to the office. There was no note or anything, and this was on a regular Tuesday. Terrible service, I recommend picking up at a bigger location.

Hi Eddie, We're sorry for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced during your U-Haul pickup. We understand how disappointing it is to arrive for a scheduled reservation and find the office unattended.

Bad customer service. Lady made a mistake and then lied to my face instead of owning up to it. Wasted a few hours of my time.

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.
