    They raised my rent without previous notification, (which is against their own policy) then acted stunned when I needed to abandon my unit full of precious items and shamed me for doing it. I’m disgusted by the treatment I received after years of paying tons of rent to this company.

    At first it seemed perfect. It’s clean and affordable as feels safe. But after a few months they Jack up your rent no matter how many units you have. There is no discount for multiple units. And the low price is to lure you in but they don’t care about long term customers they only care about YOUR MONEY!! Find a better place with integrity, fairness and a loyalty to customers.

    Giving people 30 days to move out during Thanksgiving was disgusting! Letting them know Oct 31 when they must have known for a year! What if someone had been away for two weeks? They claim they'll dump all their belongings! Because they have "construction" to do. **** Not bad enough the price increases $100 the first 6 months and then $100/year and had to wrestle it back down to $50 - so we paid $400 for a 10x15 cube.... Then you give people no notice you're going to 'do construction"...

    You must have known for a year and you wait till a month a lot of people go away and there is also veterans Day....and the entire facility has to out at the same time putting strain on the loading and cart situation... And everyone trying to get a new unit at the same time. Your business practices are disgusting! Hope to never do business with you again! ***Oh and they say you can bring your own lock but their own proven to be substandard locks are the only ones that fit - so you do have to buy their overcharged crappy lock.

    I have been a renter since May 2023 at this storage facility without missing any payments. On 10/2/2023 I visited my storage unit to only find my belongings destroyed covered in rodent feces and urine. There are also cockroaches at this storage facility as I saw a few during this time. I had no idea my belongings were covered in rodent urine until I started to pick up my bags to maneuver things around and noticed that my hands were wet with the smell of urine. I am allergic to cockroaches, I immediately get rhinitis in the setting of them.

    I stormed to the office to advise a manager of this situation TWICE to only be told “they are not here at the moment and will get back to you later on today”. I’m a registered nurse and my schedule is hectic. I have taken two days off from work to attend to this matter. Trying to salvage what is left of my belongings, throw away all damaged items, and trying to close this storage unit. A manager still hasn’t gotten back to me regarding this matter, and the weekend is approaching.

    I have also filed an insurance claim with the hope of my belongings to be replaced only to be notified that rodent damage IS NOT covered with the insurance policy. This is not only frustrating, but it's very inconvenient and unfortunate. The district manager reached out to me saying he will try to get me a refund worth 3 months of storage payments ONLY and that I was responsible for THEIR storage facility being rodent infested. He made it very clear that CUBESMART is concerned with their reputation ONLY and asked me not to leave a review. This was over 2 weeks ago & no one has resolved my issue. I never got a chance to speak with the manager of the facility DIRECTLY. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO USE CUBESMART AS THE COMPANY ONLY CARES ABOUT THEIR REPUTATION INSTEAD OF THEIR CUSTOMER'S SUPPORT. YOU WILL LOSE MONEY & YOUR BELONGINGS WILL BE DESTROYED.

    In Ames, Iowa Jodi was a great with helping me with reserving my unit at a decent price. When it came time for me to move In, my reservation was no longer valid as they decreased reservation times down to only 8 days with no given notice and I never received a email nor a text saying that it was cancelled. Jodi contacted the district manager Mike and he informed her and the other customer service representative (who's temporary), that they won't honor my move in price and now I have to pay today's 35% price increase with no given notice.

    Fast forward a few weeks and Jodi sent another email to Mike and he confirmed that I can get my original payment. When I received and paid my first bill it was considerably more than what it was suppose to be. I went into the office and Jodi emailed him again and said she would reach out after he responds. A week or so passes and I return to the storefront, to discover Jodi has been let go and the new receptionist gave me the Manager number and he won’t respond or call back. I just paid my second bill today and due to lack of communication on management’s behalf, I will be looking for another facility or selling everything in my unit.

    I rented three units when the building my shop was in sold. They went up in price so many times I had to throw most of my items away just to close the units...It cost more than my shop did! I am down to one unit now and the cost has more than doubled. Their philosophy is most people are there because they have no place to put things (obviously)...therefore they cannot leave so they continue to raise the price because they know "they have you"....and then, if you are 1 week late in your payment, they charge you a 20% fee...for me that is $68.00!! This is extortion, they have your things and think that they can charge you whatever they want because you HAVE to pay it. Stay away from this place at all costs!!

    My quad was stolen in less than a day when I first placed it there at the Taunton Massachusetts location. I have every reason to believe the facility manager and at least 1 other person were responsible for this loss. No one knew I was there unloading the quad and no one was around to see me. I would not recommend this company and they only had 1 camera at the gate to see who is coming or going but nowhere else in the facility. After the theft I found a hole cut in the fence for a person to enter and the gate opens automatically upon leaving with no code needed, what a nice setup for an inside job! They were uncooperative with me and authorities, if you have valuable property stay away from this company.

    I have a unit at 3103 N Decatur Rd Scottsdale, GA 30079. I have been there since they first opened. The facility was fine at first, the Manager Doug at that time was always very nice and helpful. However, after opening it’s become an absolute nightmare. The Management went from nice and helpful to horrible whenever the office is staffed. There has been a 25% rate increase every three months since I moved in. With no access to the restroom when Management is not available (which is 99.9%) of the time. And no trash can or dumpster for the customers. Failure to repair the front door after months and months of it being broken.

    And now the biggest situation ever, someone is smoking ** and cigarettes in the storage. One would think with all those hundreds of cameras that are in place it shouldn't be a problem to find out who this person is. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Manager isn't already aware who this person is. So in the event there’s a fire please don’t allow them to make you collect off your insurance. As of April 2023 the Corporate office was made aware of what's going on and as of May 2023 it's still going on.

    Tucson, Arizona, the Prudence Road location- Extremely aggressive rent increases every six months. The percentage increases make no sense, other than greed. Had the unit for just a year and a half. Started at $366 a month and by the time I was out it was $446! Also strange that I could rent a larger unit at another close CubeSmart for far less, but would have to pay all the set up fees again along with moving. When I rented the unit there was an office at the location, then that soon was closed and I had to transact with the other nearby location. One renting the unit, a day after starting to move in it rained and I had water inside from the roof, a large crack in the wall and under one door. Fortunately nothing got wet at that time. I clauked the crack on the inside myself at my expense. I had put down pallet, so nothing was on the floor if there was further rain trouble.

    The roof was repaired in a short time, but the crack was fixed only on the outside by a complete amateur, horrible job. After moving in every time it rained I had water 4 feet in the unit as there was no sweep plate on one door. I asked about repairing this every month for over a year before it was fixed. I had some water damage to a bookshelf, but caught that and put blocks under it. The water problem with the door was constant and I was told repeatedly that it would be fixed and it took well over a year to do so- a $20 part and a few screws. Dust, spiders and insect damage were a problem there. Many valuable books damaged by insects. Insured, but just a hassle to get any recovery there. The staff was always very pleasant, but seemed to know they could do nothing. Overall a very bad experience and company. I have had many storages over the years and this was the worst, both in price and service. Take my advice and find another company for storage.

I went to see what was the charges and I noticed a $12 fee for insurance that I never agreed on and the monthly rate was $157. I look online to see their rates and the same storage size is advertised at $121. I asked them nicely to move the rate back the the orig 138 that I have originally started with. They did not want to and said it was for new customers.

    Well... I will vacate this unit and have acquired another unit from another storage company ($100). The lady at the store was bitchy and totally unprofessional. I will never use this company again and it's my opinion that they hoped I would not notice the new charge and just keep on paying without know what was happening. Never leave your card on file if they have a policy of jacking rates up without notification.

    My problem began at the Cubesmart-managed property on Strack Rd. Houston Tx. I have been a long-time customer of Cubesmart in which I assumed we had a relationship but I was wrong. I am an auction buyer. This is a company that I have bought and brought back units to save the company from lawsuit because they were wrongfully sold several times yet they tell me they follow policy. A couple of days ago I bought a unit which I will upload all pictures where it was staged or set up (all units are bought online by pic). So in the pictures of this 25x38 shows nothing but boxes purposely stacked so the contents behind could not be seen.

    Upon coming to the facility after purchase we opened unit. Also I must mention I've done this for 29 years. I noticed up close in person the boxes looked weird so I pushed them to find out they were all empty and trash. Looking behind the boxes was 38ft of trash. Upon going further going in I find a door with the address to the storage facility, move in special signs and stacks of old storage boxes. Immediately I knew this was a setup unit. First thing, a customer would not have the front door to the storage facility, secondly they would not have huge move-in special signs and they definitely wouldn't have stacks of old moving boxes.

    There was even 30-gallon barrels of old oil in the back at least 6. What customer pays $500 a month for this? The manager even agreed it was trash and emailed dm and she went on this rant that they don't set up units and they don't go past the threshold. So why 30 minutes later she says she rented the unit to the tenant that way and she knew what was in back of unit. So company policy permits customers to rent units with company trash in them? Interesting! So the district manager would not talk to me initially and stated there was nothing he can do. So I called 1800 number and he calls me back and says he can't give money back but he won't ban me. Why would I be banned anyway for trash the company put in unit initially whether a customer rented or not? This is the kicker! The unit cost $540 plus $200 to clean out someone else's dumped trash. That's unacceptable!

    So I called 1800 number again to leave message for dvp and dm calls back again when I specifically said he can't help me. So the dvp is too busy to deal with my level. This forced me to tell the whole truth about Cubesmart. What angered me the most is its obvious and I have literally brought units back, customer units with private information to Cubesmart after buying because they were not supposed to be sold. At one point I had a district manager offer me a car in exchange for a unit that was not supposed to be sold. But no, I didn't say anything because I felt they would take care of me as I took care of them. I have witnessed of it all. The company has a reputation in the auction world of dishonesty but it never happened to me until now. It's not about the money but the principal. The last thing the dm stated was, "Do what you have to do" and here I begin.

    I want it to be understood that I wasn't rude. I didn't curse anyone. I tried to handle it in a manner in which this wouldn't go public, not an angry ** man. Just as I would leave reviews for storage managers that would ask I leave this review for the public to see also with pic. I don't know who did what but company materials have no business being in a tenant unit and a tenant doesn't stack empty boxes across front door 7 ft high. I shouldn't have to bring back customer units that should not have been sold in the first place.

    Could someone tell me where is this in company policy and also renting units with trash in them is number one priority and when they don't pay just stage them units so we can get the most out of them. Honesty and integrity is fair. It could be an honest mistake but honesty went out the window when we couldn't reason. It's amazing when they're trying to get those customer units back that the district manager would give a cell phone number to make sure the transaction is done properly. But when I'm wronged as a customer it doesn't matter.

    CubeSmart: 501 Callowhill, Philadelphia PA: DO NOT USE THIS FACILITY. We rented a 10x10 unit in March '22 in a temporature-controlled gated area. We usually come once or twice a month to bring new items or retrieve other items. Yesterday when we arrived, the motorized loading gate was broken and was wide open, though I did not see any car backed in and using it (wonder how long that had been broken and open). Also, we noticed that one of the doors that should close automatically behind a guest doesn't quite catch and is often left ajar if you don't manually close it (wonder how long that had been not operating properly).

    So, On Sunday 2/25 when we got into our area, we noticed a pair of our slippers sitting outside of the garage gate to our unit. The lock appeared to still be on the garage door; howevever, when we touched it the entire locking apparatus fell to the floor. We lifted the gate and discovered that we had been robbed! Someone had entered the secure location, climbed on top of the storage units, looked down through the chicken wire (I guess they liked what they saw in ours), cut through the wire on the top, looked through all of our things and ransacked our possessions, unscrewed the locking apparatus from inside the unit, exited through the garage door, jerry-rigged the lock to LOOK like it was intact and walked out with large, expensive and some irreplaceable items.

    To add insult the injury, there was a single staff person on site (there is usually just one person and the only security is doors/gates that require a code). We immediately notified the staff person who was only able to take pictures and give us a brochure to call for insurance. There was no offer for a free temporary space to house our items until a secure location could be found...not even an offer for free boxes to box the items that had been removed from luggage (that was stolen) and strewn about. We filed a police report, and we will definitely file a claim...which won't cover all that we have lost like personal papers, priceless jewelry, etc. We will also notify the BBB and every outlet that we can find to help others from making the same mistake that we did by using this facility.

    The other worker at the job which I do not have his name is the real culprit. The guy who works at Cubesmart has two tenants that are his friends. And what he does is, he watches me on camera every time I come to the storage, and then call the two other tenants to tell them where I'm at so they could stalk and harass me. I couldn't take it anymore and went inside the office to speak out about it and they called the police on me. And then told me I was evicted. So now I'm being evicted because I spoke up about the RACIAL DISCRIMINATION I'm dealing with at the location. Not one time did the manager (Jennifer) asked me what was the problem.

Twice the company has responded with a standard lockstep march towards me losing my things to seizure and auction. There is a toxic attitude in the industry, and this company epitomizes that- the attitude that anyone using their services is a marginal person, dislocated because they are lesser-thans.

After driving to another cubesmart I learned that the employee's name is Dora and she is an assistant manager. When I walked in she was flirting with a gentleman and told me that it would be some time before she could help me!!! That was why I went to another CubeSmart!!!! The rodent infestation was not covered by insurance!!!

    Port Union Rd, Fairfield Ohio. I rented this unit 8 months ago. The area advertised a secure perimeter. Something damaged the security gate 3 months ago and it has not been replaced yet and the front gate is open 24 hours a day. When I went to find out what was going on, the office manager said if I didn't like it, move out. I have been paying for a secure location and am not receiving the advertised service.

    I had to store some furniture. I got sick and have not been able to move the furniture out of storage. I started out paying around $203.00 a month for one unit. CubeSmart raises their rental fees every six months. They charged me for insurance even though my insurance company sent them proof of my insurance. They went from $1.95 to $5.24 for convenience fee to pay online. I am now paying $283.56 a month. For what? Nothing has changed. There are no improvements. Why would they need to continue to increase the monthly rent?

    I gave Cubesmart 1-month's notice that I would be moving out January 14th, 2022. HRA was 30 days late in paying the bill, so I gathered up some extra funding and sent it in myself to avoid auctioning while I was in the process of moving out. On the 31st day, HRA finally sends a payment, but now they have received an extra $111 from me that I barely could spare at the time - making it paid up to an extra month, February 14th. I wasn't thinking much of it considering I notified them of the move well in advance, and assumed they would be courteous and just mail the prepaid rent to my address. Well first off, I called the facility and asked them to confirm that my account was indeed closed and site vacated and left open. The girl told me the account was still open, then proceeded to just repeat the information I'd just given her saying I moved out and left the cube open. That isn't confirmation of an account closure at all.

    I then asked her about the refund for the prepaid rent and she couldn't give me an answer, so I asked her to note my account and forward it to the site supervisor so he could further assist, and she alleged to have done so. I proceed to call Cubesmart at the main phone number and ask about a refund for the prepaid rent per se and was told they don't provide prorated rebates. I then went to Cubesmart's online chat and informed them of the 1/14 move out and asked them if they closed my account. The chat specialist said she saw my account was still open so she forwarded the site facility an email confirming them the cube was vacated and requested to close my account. I then asked if I would be refunded and she said she will certainly request that. So what's the deal Cubesmart? I understand if you don't offer refunds for unused days, but prepaid or surplus rent is a different scenario altogether! The payments were made exactly 24 hours from each other!

    I spoke with staff endless times to ask for extensions and was promptly denied. But you promptly took the money and don't consider that a foul? Not to mention my belongings were COVERED with rat ** and turds! The boxes and covers I used to block out YOUR cockroaches were chewed through and mutilated. Yet, you offer NO WARNING OF THE PEST PROBLEM, and NO INSURANCE to potentially compensate for damage. But you put rat poison packs in my new cubicle making it clear that you're acknowledging the problem WELL AFTER I PAID FOR THE UNIT! Disgusting!

    I winter in Miami Beach and decided to store much of the stuff I bring back and forth from Chicago each year. I rented a space at CubeSmart -- 15 minutes from where I stay in Miami Beach. After about 5 months of paying rent I received a notice that my things had to be "out in 2 weeks". The message was sent by regular mail to me in Chicago with an erroneous address -- it just happened to get to me. There was no provision or arrangement to move my things to another facility. I spent a considerable sum having a mover get my things and move them to a different storage facility in Miami proper. I requested a refund and received no response. I called the national CubeSmart office and they could not do anything.

    I complained to the Better Business Bureau and CubeSmart NEVER responded to their inquiries. The place seemed so well organized when I went to store my things. I understand the property was sold for many millions of dollars. My costs for moving my items should have been reimbursed and they should have made alternative arrangements for me. This company is a horror show and I would never deal with them again and recommend everyone else stay far away as well. I gave them a chance to behave properly and they did nothing.

We ended up renting a second unit, which was NOT free. When I asked about getting the unit that would actually be big enough for 2 bedrooms, that one is NOT free for first month.

    3) The "free" month is over & they sent an invoice for both the units stating it would be auto pay. Then I get dunning emails to pay my bill. Their system sent out the bill & the notices that auto pay was coming (enough for both units), but one was not really set up. It took me hours today to straighten it out. 4) I called the store 2 days prior to ask about the dunning emails, left a message, AND HE NEVER CALLED BACK.

    I've had a storage space with them since 2010 and have always paid consistently for a decade. It seems my card on file expired and they cut my lock and were going forward with selling my stuff. Luckily I logged in and paid in time but they didn't save my card I used and instead still tried to use my expired card! Not only that but I never received a call, an email or text that my card on file has expired. How can a company as large as CubeSmart not have a simple feature to notify a user that their card on file is about to expire? That is so standard in web development.

    Another thing is that they have an email account for me that I no longer have access to and I can't even change my email address to a current one. That's essentially like not allowing someone to switch their address. It's absurd that some simple features are missing. It's almost like they want storage space to go to auction.

    I got a call from someone that informed me my card was expired (finally) and that they had cut my lock and need me to buy a new one. We have a key on file with them so why would they cut my lock? Why would they cut someone's lock who has consistently paid for a decade? Again, it's like you want to be able to auction off storage spaces.

    I asked the person on the phone why they never called me when my card was expired and he literally said their phone system was down. I thought he was kidding to be a smarty but he was dead serious. I have 2 calls on record from a number with a 267 code and then 3 calls from a number with a 512 area code. So 5 calls total, zero text notifications, zero email notifications because I can't change my email on my account, and zero mail notifications? They really want to auction off storage spaces.

    It's ridiculous that the system in place makes little attempt to contact someone with a card issue. After very few contact attempts they cut someone's lock that has been with them for a decade (even though I have a key on file), users can't change their email address on file, they have a phone system that "was down" and couldn't contact me in a window of time that was crucial. Truly ridiculous.

CubeSmart said they had fans inside but when I was there 7-20-2021 @ 4pm...There were NO fans. I went back the following day and still no fans. I am going back today to see if the a/c is fixed or if they actually put out fans. I’m very concerned about my possessions.

    I also asked why they raised the storage rent twice in a year...I got a political response. The lady said they look at rental rates around them and can raise or decrease prices twice a year.

    Was a nice place in 2018 BEFORE Ken entered. Now WORST Customer Service EVER with these two new employees from the start in 2019 (Ken & Jack). Especially Ken. They don't even keep up cleanliness on premises as they should. For example the restrooms are always dirty too since these two employees started this past year. And if Ken is training his assistant (Jack), frankly he is doing a poor job especially if he is having him follow in his footsteps. Upper management needs to wake up please. Ken is Not management material nor should he be training others. Nor he should Not even be representing Cubesmart. Why was he put in a management position without proper educational & professional skills?

    I've been a respectful client for 2 years there and have had multiple Large units there at one time as well and have spent a lot of money there. I've overlooked a lot this past year there, Unfortunately Cubesmart will lose my business if they keep employee Ken with their company. Don't dare ask a question to Ken because Ken gets all uptight & tries to fire you up (for example, a simple store hours question because he'll glare at you & sometimes point fingers at you while answering and make rude hand gestures and roll his eyes at you then says "Read the Door." Ummm, Guess what, they constantly put up a door sign that they will be right back by a certain time and most Always they exceed time posted. That's why I was asking a simple question so that I know their planned schedule for the day so that I can work with them, in case I need anything such as purchasing boxing supplies, etc?!

    Unfortunately, One day as many others / there were a couple of us waiting in parking lot for a long while and we finally left & went elsewhere to purchase moving supplies since Ken and his assistant Jack didn't come back on time that they posted on door.(We waited an additional 30 minutes that day!). I'm so disappointed with this management team here now. As a single woman, I've felt threatened by Ken on different occasions throughout the past year and it doesn't matter to them as they will go out of their way to make you feel uncomfortable.

    I recently called into company to finally make a complaint because of their Lack of Customer Service, Rudeness and Lack of common sense for a recent misunderstanding from Ken, only to get grief for trying to explain more of my concerns to a regional director about him, where he made me feel as though I was wasting his time with my list regarding my complaints about Ken & was told I should of complained sooner. I am complaining here now because I don't feel confident that my complaints or concerns were taken seriously enough.

    To name a few examples here, (even though there are many more) Here's Another example, I have many times paid cash for my monthly payments with previous management without any issues...(a simple & convenient thing) but have had Ken freak out & stand up to stick out his chest towards me from behind the desk to make known and show his authority and state he doesn't want to accept cash for payment. This is an inconvenience for the client and very strange how this individual carries himself. Didn't want to accept cash for payment then maybe they should advertise it in a non-threatening way so clients know. Don't want to upset Ken otherwise He goes out of his way to make you uncomfortable about it or fires you up & exaggerates things and points to his name tag to proclaim that he's the boss and it's private property & whatever he says goes. He uses this statement towards anything or everything you ask him.

    This employee is seriously disturbed & disturbing! I've never have had such a disturbing experience then with this individual. Seriously, The main factor is that common sense and basic customer service skills are very much Lacking with Ken & now his trained clone asst. Jack.. that they are a pair that drive customers away. These employees are scary. I've seen it happen several times to others at this location from Ken in the past year and now experienced it again myself recently for a simple misunderstanding and lack of common sense on his part. I've never been so insulted or upset. And he didn't even apologize & I asked the regional director for an apology from Ken and he said that I won't get one from him.

    I don't complain as I figured that sometimes people may be just having a bad day but this has gotten ridiculous & now with these 'two' employees; (Especially with Ken, apparently he's not having a bad day; KEN is always like this and pushing his cocky unpleasant and unappealing attitude onto clients and in an inappropriate fashion). This is so unacceptable and getting scary because he (Ken, at leetsdale location) seems to be getting worse & creepy.. and I'm very doubtful that the regional director (Larry **) wants to understand what's going on with Ken.

Once I came to the location to look at the unit they told me that they did not have any 10 x 15s available even though I had a reservation. They did however say that they had a 10 x 20 available, looking at the storage unit size I could tell it was not 20 feet long. I told the lady that there’s no way that this unit is 20 feet long. She informed me that it is, I had to go and get a tape measure from my truck to show her that it was indeed 15 feet long. She told me that they would have to fix it in their computer and then I can come back the next day and reserve the unit, which I did.

    While setting up my account they try to force me into purchasing insurance from them, only after inquiring did I find I can use my homeowner's insurance. I requested that my account be set up on auto pay, after one month I received a notice that my payment was still due. I called the location and the lady was apologetic and told me she would get the auto pay set up for me. After the second monthly payment was due I received a past due notice for the previous month, I called the location and the gentleman told me that they cannot set up auto pay over the phone and that the lady I spoke to the first time was misinformed.

    He then told me he can waive the late fee in a tone which was not so friendly as if I was the one who made the mistake. I ended up calling the corporate number to get the auto pay situation resolved, and by the way the gentleman who said he would waive the late fee never did that. I went ahead and paid it anyways, if it was not a burden to move all my things out of there I would have done so immediately I will never do business with this location ever again.

    Horrible Customer Service And Facility. At #CubeSmart the staff is stupid, and, they expect you to (instead of doing so in your storage unit) somehow organize your property by tossing it from the hallway into your unit door with hopes that it falls where and how it needs to go and without breaking! Because hey, it's what's INSIDE that counts.

    1. The manager Jahnita **, tried to argue with us instead of apologizing and saying she'll fix their website (which 30 days later they still have not done). They falsely show the units as being lockers but if you call (which you should never have to do, nor does 90% of humans want to do), she THEN reveals that they are units (walk in's). Nor does the website show that the first month is free outside of the FOR NOTHING FEE/Administration Fee). Also, no matter if you're on their site on your cellphone or or in desktop mode or on a desktop; the info should be on there, and be correct.

    2. She displays a bad attitude, is careless, dishonest and incompetent. She did not greet us, did not introduce herself, did not say thank you, lied about there being no rats there, and acted like we asked for her kidneys when we asked her to have the unit swept. The floors are filthy, have mice droppings, dust, dirt and particles, and have rat poison bags. The hallway floors are filthy and never swept nor mopped. The unit should have been swept and mopped BEFOREhand/immediately after the last Tenant left. Then when REMINDED, she asked the janitor to sweep the unit as a FAVOR. And he did a half ** job. We brought a broom another day, and swept it.

    3. The units are not true to size advertised. Two feet are taken up by protruding wall. That is false advertising and willfully ripping customers off. Customer are not getting what's advertised nor what they pay for.

    4. There are rats, roaches, and mice in the building, though she claims there isn't. We took photos.

    5. The units are way over-priced. $62 for a 5x4. 5x5. That's the price of a 8x10. A 5x5 5x4 is not worth more than $35 per month.

    6. Jessica **, the bad attitude petty unethical General Manager harasses busy occupied customers at their unit doors. Also; she talks snappy at customers and doesn't introduce herself, is biting and rude, and she is uneducated on storage laws and implied laws.

    7. There is only one bathroom, which oddly is in the office.

    8. They advertise as closing at 7pm which already is way too early, especially for corporate customers, but they make a false announcement on the intercom, that they close at 6:45 pm.

    9. They dont speak when you enter office, or greet you, nor ever smile and thank you or anything.

    10. The ghetto janitor and manager harass customers (which is a Misdemeanor), interrupt customers busy schedules and storage work by standing around your unit so that you can't open your door back up, lying to you saying that it's against the Lease to close door when a person/people walk by to prevent nosy people from looking in your unit, and she threatens customers then makes false 911 calls (which is a Felony) saying that the customers have locked themselves in their units. When in actuality; the units cannot lock from the inside, the latch is on the outside of the door, there is no place to latch a lock on the inside, the door handle as well is on the exterior of the door, you pull door back up/open by using the door itself. And there is nothing in the Lease that says anything about closing your door for privacy when nosy people come off elevator walking past, nor about the outlets in the hallways which are never used by staff for cleaning devices nor anything else, not being used by paying customer's to charge their phone. Yet the manager lies saying its against the Lease, and says nothing to the people who DO violate the Lease - by blocking the hallway with property, charging appliances and drills.

    11. They open too late, 9am, and close too early for career people, 7pm. And oddly also they have no 24/hr access for customers who require it, let alone those who are corporate/business accounts.

    12. They willfully inconvenience the customers, by closing for a holiday staff' party; when that's something that should take place on their own time (not the customers' time) after the building closes. And, they dont invite the customers to attend.

    13. They oddly charge customers money/a fee, to PAY their bills/rent. You have to have your banks online bill pay set up to automatically MAIL the payments to the idiots, in order to avoid this scam of a rip off.

    14. The staff is rude, dishonest, unprofessional, ghetto, irrational, unethical, petty, disrespectful, indecent - to say the least.

ALSO: Do not be mislead by a John ** nor any other rep that replies to Reviews with the facade of 'please contact us at help@cubesmart.com.' The idiots, long BEFORE a Review is posted, willfully ignore your emails after reading them, ignore their facility issues & staff's behavior, refuse to provide the corporate office manager email address so that the staff can be fired, & they know that any lower titled local manager will do nothing. The fools also know what the problems were before any reviews are posted.

    Do not rent from CubeSmart especially the location at 5818 LBJ Freeway Dallas Texas. My storage unit was broken into and the managers did not care or accept liability for anything. The facility looks clean and secure but apparently it is possible for my lock to my storage unit to be broken into. CubeSmart will not replace anything that was stolen. DO NOT RENT HERE!

    It has great value and I feel like I always get my money's worth. Plus it is very safe and it makes me try to put most of my stuff in it, and it keeps it so safe. They are so happy and always so friendly. They work with you on your payments and if needed will help you get your stuff in your storage unit. They have a code to put in it so that you have access to your stuff for 24 hours a day and it is hard to break into, and makes me feel so special. My stuff is always very safe and I feel like I am very happy, and I can put as much stuff as I want, and I won't have to worry anything about it.

    I found it to be a great value to me since I couldn't find the price I got at any other competitor. The service that I received was excellent and I would go back anytime. Their employees went above and beyond to make sure this me and my family were happy with what we had paid for. It was easy to get to them since they have so many different locations in the area that we live in. They accepted any payments that we had, even American Express, which a lot of companies don't accept. We felt secure in that our credit card numbers wouldn't be leaked or anything like that for identity thiefs to take our stuff. We loved this service and would use it again anytime.

    Easy to use and the price was reasonable. Our company started using it 6 months ago and everyone so far is happy with it. I would probably recommend this service if someone asked me about it. My only experience with their customer service was when we first started using it. They made sure we had everything we need. We felt free to ask any questions. We haven't had to contact them since we began using this service but when we first got it they were always available to us if needed. I'm sure any future questions will be answered promptly. We have not had any problems with security or breaches and no less of information. They really seem to know what they are doing in this area. I feel safe using this service and will continue without worry.

    I used it a couple of times. It was easy to use. I would recommend using CubeSmart to anyone who is looking into this. It is a valuable way to package your goods. I used this product and was happy with the customer service. I would use this again. I would think about the way this is used. This was accessible for me. There are many things I like about this service. The security is another thing about CubeSmart that is way above the standard for this type of service.
