Facilities are fine, but inconsiderate business practices with cancellation won't have me coming back any time soon.
There are many built-in costs that make this storage company completely cost-ineffective. They charge the ridiculous amount of $17 for their very specific lock for the units; this fee is non-refundable, and the lock is completely useless outside of the facilities. Almost $20 thrown away there. Add in the insurance, the start-up fees, etcetera, this is a poor value. Their pro-rating system is horrendous, only offering pro-rating for the first 10 days of the month, and charging the full month for anything past those first 10 days. Regardless of when in the month you start your rental, you will be charged for the WHOLE month, and then the "next month" will apparently be pro-rated. This is backwards logic, and for people looking for very short-term rentals, will cost you up to 400% more than the rental time you are actually looking to use. I only needed a week's worth of storage, and was forced to pay for the whole month. I am unhappy, feel ripped off, and will not be using Public Storage facilities again, at least not this location, although I believe the business practices are similar for all locations. Mediocre customer service and impotent employees who said they had no power to help also helped create this opinion.
