I have been to this location before and was disappointed with this facility, however I think they have new management as I was there recently and was impressed by the improvement in cleanliness. Rocio was extremely helpful and friendly. I do however, feel bad for staff here as the cliental here are extremely rude and aggressive. I was only there for about 5 minutes before some lady was screaming at management about being late on a payment. Kinda ridiculous and I think they need more staffing. Other than that, I am impressed by new staffing and cleanliness of this facility.

The customer service representative that was working name was Otis and he was so polite. I only came in to purchase a box to send off A care box to my son who’s in the United States Navy And because I’m lazy and needed this box as soon as possible he let me purchase the sample box which was a really big convenience for me and I was happy with the price now I know where to come if I need to get some cheap boxes that are very sturdy.

Response from Extra Space Storage (1/7/2025)

Thank you immensely for sharing your experience with Otis! We are glad to hear that you found our boxes convenient and sturdy.
