In their own words
Used to be great until new owner a year and a half ago took over. I got a large unit for a good price, a month later $50 increase. Their security gate has been broken the entire time so over a year straight without being fixed it’s wide open 24/7 which is a security measure. This location is on 4th street so to not have a gate is pretty ridiculous so if someone forgets to shut one of the coded doors someone could potentially get into a unit if the really tried..
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Leandra. We appreciate you acknowledging the value you initially found with your unit, and we understand how frustrating unexpected rate changes and maintenance concerns can feel.
I usually don’t write reviews, but the staff here are seriously incompetent I rented a unit and wasn’t able to move in until five days later and when I came, the code would not work so I went into the office to find out why they rented it to someone else So I came the next day to pay for a couple more months and when the lady asked me for a receipt, I said I better get a receipt or also say I didn’t pay for it And then when she was trying to give me a receipt, the printer jammed and it was taking forever and I…
We sincerely apologize for your experience. We made a mistake after seeing your unit left empty and unlocked and did our best to make it right by renting you another unit. In a bizarre string of events the printer failed at a most inconvenient time.
Update:: 8 months I have been here. Went from two small ones to a 10x20 $229 and now it is $289??? That's $60 extra a month??!! That's crazy! I was so upset I just cried and walked out of the office. What is the extra $60 paying for? Not weather stripping on the bottom of the door, not a trash bin anywhere on site, not Security gates that work..I do not have lights or electricity in my unit. And you let go of the best person Suzanne! Nothing has improved since have been there..
Thank you, Kim, for sharing your experience! We want to make you feel welcome and taken care of, so we're glad we could help! And thank you for choosing West Coast Self-Storage Silver State!
Do yourself a favor and rent from somewhere else. These people pretend to be nice and their "advertised" rates are not bad. My wife and I have a 10'x20' that was $189 per month when we first started renting on December 27, 2024. We received half off the first two months to move in. Starting June 1, 2025 they increased our rent to $244 per month. Then starting March 1, 2026 this same unit will be $314 per month. Over 66% increase in less than a year? Give me a break!
They raised the price to over double with 4 increases in 2 years. I discovered other units twice my size IN THE SAME FACILITY are less! They said "sorry but that is the business model". Penalizing loyalty?! Having high turnover with bait and switch prices that force customers to move their stuff to a new facility with a move-in bonus constantly, to make it affordable... Jokes on them bc that forces customers to finally go thru their stuff and eliminate it to downsize.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were frustrated with your experience. Our rental rates are reviewed periodically as part of our standard pricing structure, and any adjustments are communicated in advance in accordance with the rental agreement.
Beware of terms and conditions. The staff are incredibly nice and helpful as a tenant and prospective tenant. Too nice. They will lie to your face about last months rent being pro-rated upon move out, assuming you don’t read the 12 pages of terms and conditions until you move out and find out they will not pro-rate the partial last months rent. Also there is no trash on site. So any little scraps or trash you may have you will need to pack in and pack out.
Hi Jacob, we’re nice because we love what we do and we’re very up front about our 30 day notice policy and apologize if there was a misunderstanding. As far as the trash goes we’re a storage company and for us to absorb the cost of trash disposal just doesn’t make good business sense for us or our…
I was just hit with a 33% increase after 6 months. $210 to $280. They said it was industry standard. Ive been using storage units around the country for 25 years and have never came close to this kind of increase. Good bye West Coast Storage! and its not really secure. Front gate was either broken or just left up all day anyway
Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to store with us. We understand that rate increases can be frustrating, especially when they differ from prior experiences elsewhere. Our rates are periodically reviewed based on market conditions, operating costs, and facility demand, and while we…
Ok, well now, I’ve had at least one unit here for over 4 years, then I went up to 3, and over the last couple of years, ever since “ West Coast” out of California, purchased it, their have been a variety of on- site managers, and at times, even NO managers, and the office has been closed. A problematic place!
Hi, William. We are sorry to hear that we didn’t meet your expectation. We have very high expectations at West Coast Self-Storage Silver State and would love the opportunity to improve. Please get in touch with us at ([phone removed]!

In their own words
I made a reservation easy enough on the website, which was followed by a prompt phone call response not even ten minutes later. When I went to go check it out, the front desk folks, Melisa and Lucas, were very friendly and highly informative about all the procedures and necessities of renting out the space. Price was good too and they also had locks available for purchase. Thanks to Melisa and Lucas, I'm happy to patron here.
Thank you, Devin! We appreciate this kind review. Melissa and Lucas work hard to make sure that our customers get the service they deserve, and it sounds like they did a great job with you!
Hannah was extremely professional, friendly, and efficient throughout my truck rental experience. She made the entire process quick and easy. I truly appreciate her excellent customer service and will definitely rent from this U-Haul location again. Highly recommended!
Thank you, Favela! That's what we aim for: to make sure you feel taken care of and to provide clean, safe storage! We appreciate you choosing West Coast Self-Storage Silver State!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an outstanding experience with James Willis, the manager at West Coast Self Storage Silver State. From the moment I walked in, James went above and beyond to help me find the perfect storage unit for my needs. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, explained all of my options clearly, and made the entire process simple and stress-free. What stood out most was his genuine commitment to customer service.
Thank you, Brandon. We're glad we could be of service to you and appreciate you choosing us for your storage needs!
I’ve been a customer of West Coast Storage for about 5 months now and we’re finally needing a second storage unit after moving our household. I called and spoke to Jessica to see if they had another unit at our existing rental on 4th Ave in Reno. She was so pleasant and after telling her that I was hoping for a second unit in that complex, she said that it was “meant to be” and that the unit next to us was open.
Hi Mary, Thank you for the amazing feedback! We're so glad that we were able to help you find a suitable storage space. We take pride in providing outstanding customer service, so it's wonderful to hear that this was your experience. We appreciate your kind words and recommendation.
