I had decided since I was going to have some free time (due to Covid-19)that I would try AGAIN to organize some areas of my home. I figured if I got a storage spot to maybe make it easier for me. I met with Dena at appt time, she was very professional and extremely helpful. She asked what type of items was I planning to store and from that she was able to show me the different size units available one by one so I could make the best decision. It was very clean and safe looking. She explained all the necessary information cle... read more

From my initial call, everyone has been incredibly nice and full of helpful hints. The facility is clean and well-maintained. I rented a 5x10 and with high ceilings, it works out great. Thanks to Rachel on the phone and Cory and a new employee (didn't catch her name) at the property. I recommend A-1 completely! /Michael 

Business response:

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your storage experience with us, Michael. We'll be sure to forward your kind words to Rachel, Corey, and Rosa. It will brighten their day!

Except for actually moving in, I'm echoing Sarah M.'s review, below. I'm also adding: I looked at many storage locations before renting at A-1 Storage. Why I chose A-1: * Accommodation for large moving trucks (not all storage facilities can do this!) * Drive-up access * Extra Large units (I initially rented a 10 x 30) * Safe, secure (each unit alarmed), clean * Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff * Easy freeway access (close to the 880) * Flexible in holding unit while I was planning my move from SoCal to NorCal * Web... read more

This might be a bit of an unusual review, because I ended up having to rent a space closer to where I live. But A-1 was the nicest place I saw, and the manager, Corey, was the best. He clearly has customer service down -- professional, friendly, informative, and helpful. The trust factor, which is important for me, is definitely high with Corey in management. In addition to the pleasure of being helped out and shown around by Corey, the facility is really clean and spacious, and the security was the best I've seen. An added ... read more

Very clean and well run storage space. My unit was on the third floor, but they have large elevators and plenty of carts available so it was very easy to move all the stuff into the storage unit. Storage unit itself was exactly as advertised (I booked it online). 

Business response:

That is great to hear, John. We are so happy to hear you had such a positive experience here at A-1 Self Storage!

A day after putting this review I received this via certified mail I place this as public record because this happened right after I placed this yelp review and now I have only days to find another unit and move my belongings or apparently all of my possessions become property of A1Self Storage. This is unfair and unjust. And for the record I paid all the rent on time . 

Business response:

Mayra, your termination notice was not sent due to your Yelp review, but due to the fact that you broke the rules at our facility. For the safety of everyone, we have a zero tolerance policy.
