Public Storage - Philadelphia - 7571 Ridge Ave

I've used Public Storage in the past and have turned to it again. The facility is clean and easily accessible. The hours for when you can access your unit are more than reasonable. It's easy to get in with your own gate access code and gives you a feeling of security. The staff is friendly and informative, and the available supplies on-site is helpful. Public Storage offers a variety of units and features, e.g. climate-controlled vs. not, elevator access vs. stairs, at reasonable prices. It's nice they have dollys available on-site for you to use so you don't have to bring your own. Although if someone gets to them before you do, you might be out of luck. Making reservations online is a breeze and managing your account is just as easy. It's a convenient and affordable way to keep my things safe until I don't need to anymore.

I switched over to Public Storage from another place because of the availability of both the office and access to your unit. I was all set up with another place but they closed their office early on a Saturday, had no Sunday hours and could only access your belongings during office hours. The Public Storage I'm using has access 7days/wk until 9pm (great for me because I usually need to get to it after 7pm due to work), and has the office open all weekend in case I need them - which came in perfectly when I needed to start my rental on a Sunday (due to the incompetence of the other place). Clean unit, easy access, good hours, good staff!

Rented 3 seperate units at this facility - a 10x30 - their largest and two 10 x 10's as no other large units were available. Move in occured over 2 seperate days and had a different manager everyday. Note- managers all take a significant time period off each afternoon - so had to come in on a Saturday to do paperwork in advance - since my moves all fell in the afternoon. The Saturday manager was suppose to put in my reservation for 2nd unit BUT never did. Luckily there was a unit available when I showed up Monday. After that experience, Imade sure I had paperwork done for 3rd unit and a firm unit # for 4th unit reservation. Overall storage spaces are fine, what you would expect. Management could be a whole lot better experience.
