I have had a unit here for almost 2 years. The property managers play Houdini - many times not posting a return time. I am currently locked out of the auto open option for the gate. Manager speaks poor English. Spoke to corporate for reset. Passcode changed by manager - still no access. Managers response π€·π½ββοΈ. Time to look for a new unit. So inconvenient!
I am very impressed with the facility. Bob has gone above and beyond to alleviate any concerns. The entire staff always makes me feel valued. I have two other units in California and the Royal Oak property has exceeded all my expectations. I will always recommend the Royal Oak Public Storage to anyone who asks.
I pulled up to the property and had an issue entering. Went to the main office and spoke with Kathy. We found out that our automatic payment did not go through and information needed to be updated. She was kind and offered a solution to the best of her abilities with a smile.
This is a very clean and well maintained storage facility. Bob was so helpful and shared great storage tips to get me started.
My belongings are on their way, but while I wait, I should share that the experience so far at this facility is first-rate. Bob was friendly, very helpful with suggestions that didnt occur to me, and professional. The unit he helped me select will suit my needs perfectly, and one of the things hes very good at is explaining clearly how the whole process works, and how to use the facility in a secure way. I look forward to getting my belongings moved in later this week, and Im very confident in my choice. Bob put me at ease, and hell help you too.
Glad I no longer a customer... Would not recommend. There are only 2-3 carts available for use and often they are being used when I arrive more often than not.Elevator door closing timing is set to Star Trek speed and often hits the cart or me before I have a chance to exit the elevator.There was a recent mass extinction event of flies on the third floor, was not notified of any chemical spray being used or if a fly farm operation failed... Not sure where they came from and why they died, just know they were seemingly everywhere.All units in the climate controlled 2nd & 3rd floor get dark dust at no extra charge.Aside from the lack of responsiveness from the facility to address complaints and lack of empathy for customer concerns at least they billed me on time and raised rates regularly.Im not sure if my experience was typical for the industry but would rather burn my stuff before storing it here.I feel the most sorry for the lady that lost her art collection when an elevator failed and leaked hydraulic fluid in her unit. She was told that PS was not responsible and thats why everyone is encourage to be insured. I cannot verify that statement but wouldnt be surprised.1 star because zero is not an option and the place looked clean & modern when we first arrived. Wish we knew better.
Iβve been with this storage facility over one year now. I have seen personnel change, but I must say that the addition of Bob and Pam have by far been SUCH A REFRESHING CHANGE!! I have encountered Bob more, but when Iβve had the pleasure to speak with Pam, she has been nothing less than pleasant, polite, and professional.Bob is very kind, friendly and responsive and takes pride in his job! Donβt misunderstand, heβs NOT a pushover by ANY stretch! He expects tenants to follow the rules of the facility, PAY ON TIME, NOT PLAY GAMES, TREAT THE BUILDING AND OTHER TENANTS WITH RESPECT while on site, and overall be a responsible tenant - as this is a βhigh-qualityβ PROFESSIONAL AND CLEAN facility in lovely Royal Oak. If youβre not on the up and up and donβt intend to or canβt relate to these REASONABLE expectations - this is SERIOUSLY βNOTβ the facility for you! Thanks Bob and Pam for doing such an amazing job - we TRULY appreciate youβΌοΈ
Kathy very friendly and professional. Havent moved my belongings in yet but so far very good
I just recently renewed my storage unit for another year. Pam was extremely helpful walking me through the process. She went out of her way to make sure everything was done correctly and answered all my concerns. It was a wonderful experience to be helped by a courteous person.
I would like to give a lot of thanks to the facility at this location they are by far one of the best staff EVER!!!! So helpful and very passionate a shout out to the wonderful people here Bob, Pam and Steve the overseer.
Clean, secure - what more could you ask for in a storage facility.
Help my cuz move stuff out of a unit. Plenty of room for larger items, clean, secure as heck.
Friendly staff, clean facilities, easy access to units from multiple entry doors.
Pamela was friendly and helpful. She did a thorough job of explaining my options. Very pleased and would recommend this location.
Karkea was very helpful and caring. Took the time to answer all my questions, being this is the first time Iβm a using a storage unit. She has a wonderful attitude and pleasant.
One of the many good people i had the pleasure to meet in 2020! I can only speak for 1 The Manager there Karen is awesome the sweetest person ever shes going to go by the rules &/bt shes fair! Shes also accomodating, the place is neat & she has alot on her plate & to do bt she does it all with knowledge, a sparkling personality & a smile! Shes Awesome!
The employees are not helpful. They are mostly difficult to deal with except for one older gentlemen. He was the only person who was helpful. When I closed the locker the woman told me when I went out the gate I would get an email receipt. When that did not happen I had to go back to the office, which at your Troy Michigan is three blocks away from the storage unit. I had to wait. I explained that I needed a receipt as the trustee of a trust. She told me this time that it takes over an hour. I explained I needed something in writing from her. She walked over to the computer and pushed some buttons and low and behold the receipt printed. Not going to rent any storage unit ever again.
Karkea explained every detail of the process to me as Im new to renting storage. She really has the right attitude to work with the public. I highly recommend this branch.
Never used a storage facility before but this place is amazingly clean and makes me feel safe. Karkea checked me in and she was absolutely fantastic!! Answered all of my questions and was so thorough in explaining everything to me and was soooo nice!!
Maddie was extremely sweet and attentive. she answered any questions we had and made sure that we had the smoothest experience possible. the office and property were immaculate and easy to navigate, also. i would recommend storing you things here!
Bob was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful.
I would like to take a moment to recognize Shanel, she displayed excellent customer service and patience in my recent visit. During our conversation she mentioned she was relatively new to the position, in which I was shocked. As well I would like to mention the General Manger who handled my concern efficiently. Thank you!
I could not love this location more. Itβs clean, the employees are rockstars and itβs well maintained. The employee that helped us today, Miya, was so kind, attentive and made paperwork easy. When getting a new unit, she specifically looked out for us, ensuring we got a space close to our existing one. It saved us so much time and made our lives easy. Would definitely recommend this location to a friend.
Very clean and Pam was very helpful in handling my transaction.
I am very happy with the information from BobBob is very helpful and understandinI am very great full for the helping points that Bob is helping me with so that I can understand what I have to do
The storage unit itself is nice. The staff not so great. You have to buy their lock for the locker. The lock is not an everyday storage lock. It does not work with every kind of locker. We went in to close out our account after the locker was empty. The staff did not get up from their desk, nor did they even look up and at my husband as he was speaking to them. In fact, they both had their cell phones out and were doing something on their phones that was apparently more important than focusing on and assisting the customer. To top it all off, my husband asked about returning the lock because it does not work anywhere else. One of the girls told him to keep it as he may want another storage unit with them. My husband very politely let them know that would not happen and walked out with a lock that is ofno use anywhere else. Truly disappointed!
Quality and friendly service. Everything went quick and smooth. Every question I had was answered. Reasonable prices! Madison was extremely helpful and kind to my husband and I.
When they did construction to add a new building they left a thick layer of dust on all my things. When I complained their answer was make an insurance claim. During the construction, the gate was left open unattended. They changed my lock without warning. They said there was an email but I couldnt find it. I paid for that lock and wasnt offered a refund. There are cheaper facilities in the area that couldnt be worse.
I am extremely impressed with this location! The storage rooms are clean and Maddie was super helpful, helping me with everything I needed to get started. Will definitely be using this place in the future!
I am so glad that I checked out a few different storage places in the area to get a better idea of what was offered and what the difference was between the companies. Melanie was so knowledgeable and advised me of all the different units they have available and will have available with the upcoming addition. I also was glad that they had me review my own homeowners insurance policy because some policies arent as broad spectrum as you think. She guided me to the right unit for my needs and helped me with some extra items to make sure that my goods are protected from dust and dirt. Thanks again for taking the time to answer all my questions you girls are the best!
Clean, well run, and super organized. I had Maddie help me out with something and she was super sweet and helpful employee. Overall theres great service here!
Madison was very knowledgeable about prices and asked helpful questions to make sure I got the right size unit for a reasonable price. Very friendly and informative. I would recommend this location to everyone!
Fast and Easy to set up the reservation & rental online and In-Person. With Maddies help, I had a storage space and keys in hand in about 15 mins. Indoor building is new and clean and very well secured. Excellent prices on their website. I give 4-stars instead of 5 for the potholes in the on property roadways, but I think their working on it.Overall an excellent Storage Facility. Keep up the great work!
NO ONE TO HELP YOU
Jan, the friendly, professional, pleasant employee gets a 5!!! Our experience on our first visit (obtaining the storage space) was not a good one at all (the clerk was not Jan for that visit), very unpleasant and we planned on never coming back. However, upon clearing out our storage space and closing our account, Jan made it a really pleasant experience. Even her payment reminder phone calls were delightful. If we had a business, we would steal her as an employee! Just a wonderful lady!
Thank you so much Kea. She provided excellent customer service.
I selected this location because it was closest and offered drive up units. From first visit to getting the key, Jan has been so helpful!She is the reason I returned and rented. Jan is precise in her instructions, tough about following the rules and you can trust what she says. Employees represent the company, so I feel confident I will have a positive experience with this Public Storage Location.
This is a clean and organized facility that is represented by one of the nicest, most helpful people weve ever met. The name of the person running this property is Jan. She went out of her way to make sure we made the best storage unit selection for our needs! The prices were really great, too. Highly recommend this place if you live anywhere near Royal Oak, Michigan.
Melanie was so helpful! I had no idea what I needed or was doing when I walked in but she guided me through the whole process. Always had a smile on her face and really helped me out. Felt like talking with a friend. I will recommend public storage royal oak to everyone!
Maddie and Osheka are amazing! They were both so sweet and very helpful. They answered all of my questions with smiles on their faces and they truly brightened my day. Fantastic customer service!!
Quick, easy, and painless. Maddie was very friendly and courteous. Maddie assisted me in obtaining my storage within 30min of viewing and signing my paperwork. Thanks Maddie!
Rude staff. Very, very slow process. Large facility with only one staff member doing everything. Covid-19 makes it worse. Online prices are deceiving, there are many hidden charges.
Madison & Melanie were very thorough and friendly. Answered all my questions and made sure I understood all terms and conditions. Facility and unit are clean and well maintained.
Tres was so hopeful and kind! He helped me even when my crazy family was so needy! What a great place! Highly recommend!!!
Tres was an awesome guy to help me get set up with my storage needs. Well done sir!
This is the first time I have ever got a storage unit. Melanie was the best person to help guide me to figuring out which storage unit to get. She answered all my questions and was very respectful.
Very nice and clean establishment. Was greeted kindly when I walked in to make a payment.
I have had a storage unit full of cherished family heirlooms at this Royal Oak location for years and Jan has always helped me with any questions Ive had. Ive had to maintain this unit from across the country and I have to say, Jan has always made everything easy and seamless for me which is much appreciated when you live out of state. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a trusted storage space. And ask for Jan!! She will take good care of you!
Jan is an amazing customer service and property manager, very efficient and resourceful. I have rented from this storage property twice in the last 3 yrs. I would say she is by far the best, her courtesy calls are always pleasant and friendly. The facility is always clean, up to date and business friendly. You wouldnt make a bad choice choosing to store your items here.
I was provided excellent service at the Royal Oak location. Maddie was very helpful and I can see myself coming back if I ever need another place to store my furniture! Thanks Public Storage!
Pamela is super helpful and this couldnt be easier to set up. Thank you!
Such a great experience! Maddie was very helpful, friendly and professional. Made me feel comfortable and I would highly recommend!
Wonderful storage experience! I unexpectedly needed storage and called there one day prior to move in. Manager Jan took care of me and I felt like I was her only customer. She was efficient and the price was exactly what was online (plus fees). My space is clean, dry, well-lit and secure. Really great experience all the way around.
Great service!! I came for a payment for my great aunt and Miya was so helpful and courteous. I will be referring people here!
Construction debris and dust created by Public Storage ruined items that I had stored. Negative experience!
I was at the public storage on coolidge. The woman running it (Jan) was so very helpful to me. She showed me a couple different sized units that she thought would be good for what I told her I had. I will definitely be renting from her shortly. She also showed me all the different boxes that she carried. Thank you miss Jan I will be back.
Facility is nice, clean, and well accessible! Staff like Maddie(I think if I remember right) is outstanding, knowledgeable and professional. Definitely would recommend to others!
Maddie and Tres are the best. I came in without the slightest idea of how Storage works & they answered every question with patience and great customer service. Didnβt expect it honestly. So glad I chose this location! Thank you guys :)
Melanie was extremely helpful and friendly. She actually postponed going to lunch to help my wife and I out. We are very pleased with her service and would use this business again.
Management team hard to work with and new clerks just learning.
Pretty cleaned organized place. Couldnt believe how friendly the staff are. Recommending Public Storage every chance I get!
Melanie, although she was recently hired and was working in an office without working air conditioning, while the site is under construction did a fantastic job with everything!She made our move to the storage unit wonderful and stress free!! This was our first experience with public storage and I can honestly say it was a very good experience!
My colleague and I needed information about storage units.Melanie was so helpful, patient and pleasant. Answered all our questions no matter how trivial.Corporate should clone her!
Miya was very helpful with deciding a size on a storage unit I did not rent today because Iβm indecisive but she answered every question I had regarding one
All the staff members were helpful and professional. Service was quick and friendly. Will most definitely recommend and use again!
Came in the other day and had some questions. Maddie and tres were there to answer my question both were super helpful and informative of what I needed. Property is well maintained and clean
Bob and Jan make an awesome team to deal with regarding storage needs.Not only were they very helpful with information and recommendations, but also assist making sure that everything goes as planned. The costs were clearly explained and everything flowed like clockwork.
I came a couple days ago to look at units and Miya was very helpful I appreciate her she really made me feel at home and comfortable!
Melanie was awesome and super helpful! Very friendly and knowledgeable with the units and what will fit and what will not! Highly recommend and extremely fair prices!
Very organized. The worker Maddie was extremely helpful and sweet
Jan was superb. I was so not good at returning calls due to being in the process of moving rather unexpectedly but she never got mad or upset. Jan was so nice even though it must have seemed like I was ignoring her! She was always polite and friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone.
I have been a customer at the Royal Oak location for a few years now and even though I live in Westland, I continue to stay with these guys because of the great quality service that they provide here. Jan is the best at what she does there. I appreciate the the friendly reminders if payment is due. She always nice to me and very professional. Too bad we cant clone her!!!
From the minute you walk in the your last steps out rue door the experience is one others could learn from. Jan and her team habe always gone over and beyond any needs and expectations not only for.me but for Everyone that I refer to her property. The property is consistently clean presentable in very well managed
The best storage facility I have encountered. It is a clean, well maintained facility and the staff is phenominal! I am there everyday and the service is consistently fantastic! I would definitely recommend this facility to friends and family. Jan the manager is simply the best, seeing her feels like coming home to visit mom :)Thanks!
The place was exceptionally clean, I was very impressed with Maddie and how thoughtful and helpful she was, she went above and beyond! I would highly recommend this place.
Great service, Ask for tres great repetitive.No problems
Storing our items with Jan and her staff for the past 6 years was a pleasure. The facility was always clean, well lit and safe. Moving in and out was hassle free. Without question we would recommend this facility and use it again and again.
Very friendly employees and also helpful! The storage unit was really clean as well definitely will rent one again!
Maddie was extremely helpful when i came in today, answered all the questions i had, The place was very well clean and organized, and overall a great visit!
Maddie had great customer service! She makes it a great experience every time I go in there
When I went to rent my storage units, the people were knowledgeable & very friendly.
Steve Cox here from D36, and I have to tell you that Jan is the absolute best representative Ive ever dealt with in any context. Shes preserved your account for me with proper inter-personal relationship skills. Very much appreciated. Give her a raise, without relocating her.....lol
Great!! I came in for a payment Miya was so helpful! Great customer service skills, I will be referring people here!
Very easy and smooth process. Tres and Osheka were awesome. The facility is extremely clean which was my biggest deciding factor. Fair prices as well. I recommend this place.
I am pleased with the customer service and facilities at this Public Storage! From initial arrangements in May 2012 through my most recent visit less than a week ago (September 2013), Mary and Jan are always thorough, clear, capable with the information and guidance I seek. They consistently provide superior customer service and professional expertise in a collaborative atmosphere of strong teamwork. I appreciate their work; the facility is clean, well-appointed and -equipped, secure. Glad I found this place!
The girls at this location are super friendly and knowledgeable of the units and prices. Thanks ladies! I will recommend your facility to everyone!
The place was clean, well maintained and Tres, my CSR, was a pleasure! He patiently showed me until we found the right one. Im very happy with my experience!
Maddie was incredibly helpful and answered every question I had. The property is clean and well maintained.
Jan was amazing, she made the process easy and interesting. her accent and personality is so warm and inviting. I absolutely chose the right place for storage.
Jan, the manager there, was very professional and helpful in finding the right size unit for me. She showed me numerous sizes until I finally found the correct one.The paperwork did not take long and she made sure she answered all of my questions.
The lot and roads where the storage units are were very icy. Looks like they were plowed, but no salt was applied. Was unloading from one of my units the other day and almost fell multiple times... then at my other unit there was big blocks of ice in front of my unit making it difficult to unload. Especially since most of the stuff I was unoading was quite heavy. Again very slippery as well. I have no other complaints, but I highly recommend someone gets out there with a shovel and some salt! I would do it myself, but it seems this should be something Public Storage offers for their customers as we all pay a premium for your units. Safety should be a priority!
Jan is awful, so is her boss Dan Doyle. I have been renting a unit for almost a year. I choose this place because it is indoor, and has air conditioning.I have electronics, wood, a bed, shoes, and clothes in this unit. The reason for this nasty review is because they had a leaky roof and never disclosed this information to any of the tenants. My unit just so happened to be in an area where the roof gave out. So my stuff is wet and ruined. They never called me to tell me that my stuff couldve been damaged.I pulled up to the unit one day and saw all the roofing equipment. Didnt think anything of it. But when I checked my unit I found all of my boxes with water damage. Ants crawling around my unit. And my mattress with water stains.They claim they never new about a roof leak yet they are in the process of replacing the entire roof all of the sudden.... sounds fishy to me.Section 4.1 of the contract basically states they are not liable for anything including negligence.My stuff is ruined. They dont care. DO NOT RENT A UNIT HERE.
We rented an indoor, climate-controlled unit from Public Storage in Royal Oak, MI for less than 2 months while we were in the process of moving. It was very clean and well kept! The level of security was also nice - I often went during the day while my husband was working and felt fine being there alone. The staff was extremely friendly - Mary helped us. She even called us after we moved our things into the unit to see if we were happy with it! She also helped us cancel our unit and get a refund since we paid for a full two months (we settled into a home earlier than anticipated). Id recommend this storage facility and would use it again.
Melanie is always helpful and friendly. Even the crew working on the expansion project is courteous and careful to not inconvenience people. Iβm glad to be here.
Today I came in to rent a unit after a long stressful week of moving and closing on a house. Tess and Jan were absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in they greeted me with smiles and a big hello. They were very helpful, knowledgable, and made this process less stressful. I would recommend this facility to anyone!
I went in to the royal oak public storage not knowing what boxes I would need. Mary and Jan were very helpful in assisting me to find the right size boxes I would need to move things. They were very professional and respectful and answered my questions very clearly. I would recommend this location to my family and friends.
I recently moved out of my unit on Sept 30th. It was a pleasure dealing with Public Storage, and I would definitely use them again. Jan was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this location in a heartbeat if ever my friends or family needed a storage unit.
Jan was fantastic. She got me set up and at a really good price. Customer service is her middle name!
Jan is so friendly and nice. I would recommend this storage facility to anyone in the area looking for extra space. This is a very well maintained facility.
Iβve never used a storage unit so I didnβt know what I was doing. Tres at this location made it as easy as possible. He walked through everything and was very patient/ professional. Iβd recommend this facility to anyone especially based on the customer service I received from Tres!
