Lies. When I get to the place the storage is a rusty container, not a unit. No mention online or on the phone. And I asked about my own lock and on the phone the answer was yes. Turns out, only on the container. And there is no deal for first month free except on container. Would be nice to be forthright Owners reply is that I should look st the unit. However, it's not a "unit" which implies part of a building, rather it's a standalone, rusty container with a vent that likely leaks water in big rain. The question is, why not... read more

This is one of the better storage places I've used because not only is it enclosed, the floors are sturdy and the overall building is well kept. I didn't see any critter nor traces of them anywhere in the building. The elevators worked extremely well with all the heavy oak furniture we put in them. The u.s. no air conditioning but it seems nice and dry inside. They have a great security system and the entire time they're open, someone is there to assist you with any needs you may have. I have stored with A-1 before but this ... read more

Getting storage in San Diego is such a grind, it was difficult for us to find storage for our 1800 sq ft house but we gave A1 our storage requirements and we got notified whenever there was a unit coming available within our time frame. Fermin at this location was awesome. We realized we needed more storage than the website suggested (will get to that later)and we were able to get one right next to it for a better deal than the first unit. Overall I was very pleased with A1. Ok back to the website. The only suggestion I woul... read more

So far this place is great. The only complaint I have is that I am on the second floor and the weather has been very hot lately... There is no windows,no air flow, and no air conditioning. This makes it almost unbearable when you're moving a load in or out of your unit. 

Business response:

We are sorry to hear this, unfortunately, we are dealing with a heat wave right now. During your move, you are welcomed to come to the office as we provide water and have AC running.

Can't believe the warm welcome and friendly atmosphere here. Found out that a portion of the monies spent here will go to charity. Even better huh?!?! Fermin was very pleasant and gets an A+ for customer service. Had candies on the counter. Loved that!! Would definitely use this facility again.

John, thank you for your kind review; we are happy to pass along your comments to the team here at A-1 Self Storage!
