Excellent website with superb first point of contact by phone and the subsequent follow up by manager at the location where I asked to establish a reservation for a storage unit was fast and most effective. My visit to the Public Storage site near to my home was also top notch with very professional custoimer service offered by the resident manager, Ramon!

Wow, so easy to sign up and super friendly service. I really like the location, its off the beaten path but still very easily accessible and right next to the 101. The rates are surprisingly good compared to other units I looked into. The property is clean and secure. Theres even a bathroom. Last but not least the access hours are not at all restrictive. Its perfect! I recommend it.

This place is great. The staff is on point and fun. The facility is clean, secure, easy to access (even on the 2nd floor). Its super vibrant orange with an obviously recently updated paint job. Theyre prompt and adaptable, comprehensive and concise about explaining terms. I absolutely fuggin love the app that lets me access the facility from my phone without even opening the window at the gate. Its pricier than East Bay units but if youre living west of the Richmond Bridge and you want to access your stuff without paying toll and risking potentially outrageous traffic, this spot is the way to go.

This public storage facility is very accessible and all of the staff are super friendly. The surrounding area is decent, and the facility itself is calm and usually not very busy. Special thanks to Ramon for always being extra helpful and giving us access to a unit on short notice! Would definitely recommend this facility if you are looking for storage in Marin county.

This storage facility is amazing! I was able to get a unit for a short period of time while I get ready to move housing. The employee I usually interact with, Ramon, is always happy to help and greets me with smiles when I enter/exit. All of the staff are amazing and kind. The facility itself is clean and quiet, I never feel bothered or rushed. I recommend this place to friends and strangers.

Ramon and his team were fantastic in supporting me in a last-minute need to rent a storage space. I must have called their office half a dozen times with questions and they helped every single time and clearly really cared for me in my situation. They went above and beyond and I want to recognize them here publicly for that. Highly recommend this business!

This place is horrible. Do not trust the owner or the managers. They sold all of my stuff without even calling me. Hes called and I asked they were completely unhelpful and told me to go talk to a lawyer. Hes not suggests anybody using their service whatsoever if you want to feel safe about your treasured items beits jerk items being there when you get back

Ive used Public Storage areas of and on for 30 years with mixed experience this is by far the best Public Storage unit Ive ever dealt with, from walking me to my unit helping me with the finicky lock the attendant on duty Arizona was great. The manager Ramon help me with the Public storage app and helped me secure another unit close to my other unit. Even the regional manager Don Silvano helped me out with an old charge on my account. I own a surf shop in San Rafael called 101 Surf Sports we pride ourselves with customer service, so many business do not. However this particular Public Storage totally gets the concept. I highly recommend them. Cort Larned Partner 101 Surf Sports

This place was fairly affordable once, no longer...one thing you should know before storing your stuff there, homeless people are roaming the back of building and the area so be aware of what is valuable to you!There was tons of breakings before they installed security cameras.Always saw people in parking area without ever moving any boxes in or out...strange!Guy managing the place was a douche bag...

We had a mishap with uhaul and needed to find a functional storage option on a moments notice. When we arrived at the location we had been driving for two days, had a moving truck a dog and 2 kids in tow and everyone was stressed. Ramon got us set up with what we needed and made it a super easy seamless process. The facility is well maintained, you can tell they keep it clean, follow COVID protocols, they walk around and check on things, the cameras and gates and such are all in great working order. Definitely glad with the turn of events we ended up with our storage here.

If I could give this place -100 stars I would. They had painters here working for the last month. They painted the inside and outside of the buildings. The storage unit I have is a rectangle closet at the end of the hall and has about a 6 inch gap between the top of the wall and the ceiling. I was at my unit about a month ago putting some things inside, everything was fine then. Since there were painters everywhere I decided to come back since there was all this work being done. I came back on Sunday, April 18th to find that when the work had been done all of this paint dust or whatever it is, blew in from the top of my unit and covered all of my belongings. I have a 2 bed room apartment in there. Everything I own. Everything. Some of my stuff is bagged and stored but somethings like camp gear (tents, sleeping pads, etc) are not because I take that stuff out from spring to fall. I went to talk to the person in the office, who Im guessing is Ramon since thats what other reviews say, and he was the most unprofessional person I have EVER had to deal with. He said, Do you have insurance?? I said, Yes. He then says, you have to contact your insurance. and that was it. So I dont understand how everyone is talking about this guy being helpful or even good at customer service. I turn around go back to my car drive over to my unit get on the phone with insurance, file a claim and Ramon comes up to my car after Ive already been on the phone for at least 5 minutes and finally offers some customer service while trying to give me a brochure to contact the insurance company. Look, I wouldnt be so upset if he had shown some empathy and compassion for my belongings being ruined. Absolutely no apology that that had happened or anything even though it was most certainly their fault. On top of it all this guy is the property manager. So all these reviews saying this guy is great are either lying or caught him on a good day. Its also not my first time dealing with him. He chased me and my boyfriend down yelling at him cause he didnt put the code in to drive through the gate because there was a person in front of us. Yeah I know youre supposed to do that, he didnt know and you dont need to yell at people. You work at a storage facility and furthermore I rent a unit here. Im not some person who wandered on the property. I deal with customers all day long in Marin and I dont talk to people that way. The insurance lady said I may not even be covered. So now I get to waste my time pulling all my stuff out getting it cleaned (I do not have a washer and dryer, I go to the laundromat) spend money to clean everything and sweep the unit so that I even feel comfortable keeping my stuff in that dirty unit. I basically paid these people to ruin my stuff. As soon as this is over I will move my things somewhere else. Worst storage place I have ever had.Edit: after I posted this review, I was contacted by a regional manager. Who apologized and mentioned he could maybe get a credit for me. Never heard anything and they just raised my rent $36/month. Also the insurance company that insures you is trash. Can’t wait to get my stuff out of here. I find it absolutely insulting that they “regret” I’m not satisfied? You got paint overspray on my personal items and did nothing about it except raise my rent and had to get an apology from a regional manager and not even the property manager.

I have been very satisfied renting storage space at Merrydale Public Storage on and off over the years as I have moved in and out of Marin due to work. Most recently I sold my house and downsized and had to rent storage space. I have spent a lot of time there sorting and moving out things. The manager Roman, as well as his staff, have been helpful, friendly, reliable and conscientious. I am was there often during early and late hours and Roman would check on me. You can count on him to follow up on what he says and I always feel safe at this location. It is clean and well maintained and so I keep coming back to it.

Today I showed up at 6:20am to get my tools for work. Only to find a sign on the gate stating that the gate is out of order and I cant get access to my storage unit until 9:30am. It would have been nice to get a email about this since I noticed that the gate didnt work and was open last Friday. Public storage has no problem sending me a email concerning my bill weeks before its due but I have to find out Monday morning at 6:20 am I dont have access to the storage unit I pay for.

Review №44

My family has rented a unit from this location for many years. We trust the location and have always felt our belongings are stored safely and securely. This year we experienced the loss of our Dad and as the unit was legally in his name, it took some time for me (his daughter and the owner of most of the stored items) to gain access to the unit. After obtaining the appropriate documents, all is well. During this time, two employees were wonderful in assisting me: Ramon and Noelle. Ramon has been extremely friendly, patient and very kind during this difficult time for me. He is a great asset to Public Storage and I really want to thank him for all his help!

Review №45

While moving from San Diego back to the Bay Area, I needed an intermediary space to house my belongings before I move yet again to San Rafael. I tried the storage space across the railroad tracks from here only to find they had no push cart or dolly and gravel pathways, which isn’t suitable for maneuvering large furniture and boxes through. I called Public Storage and Ramon took care of both my stressed out self and friend with professionalism and ease. Though they were more expensive, the accommodations of smooth paved pathways, push carts, elevator and security made the price worth the investment.

Review №46

Clean, light & spacious buildings, with gate security and cameras. The units are reasonably priced, and most are accessible from ground level or in some cases upstairs via a large elevator. There are dollies for general use to move your stuff, and corridor access is adequate. In general, with the manager onsite it feels pretty safe and secure, and a little less depressing than some storage units.

Ramon, the on-site manager, was awesome. Public Storage not so awesome. Within 6 months they raised the rate on our 10x10 from $185 to $320 while advertising online the same space for $145. They declined to keep our rate at $185 so we moved out. Beware the move-in rate is not your real rate!
