Fast easy rental. Second unit there. Girls very nice, gave me new card because mine was rather worn. Kept same code. Explained everything. Premium customer service. Best storage that is why I rent there. Secured facility with silent alarm. Cleaning guy was there cleaning the inside and even the roll up doors. Thank you, you are appreciated!!

Great facility, great people, great location. I had to get on a waiting list for the size and type of storage. They called me when available and I jumped on it.

My friend has a storage unit at A-1 Self Storage and it is the most spacious storage room I've ever seen. It is a drive thru unit that can easily store 3 full size cars end to end. He can drive in one door and drive out the door on the other end. Very cool. It's a very clean well maintained quiet complex located directly off the freeway.

always clean. parking can be a little weird because too many people don't think beyond their own bubble, so you end up having to try and weave through haphazardly parked cars every now and then. Other than that minor inconvenience on a couple of occasions, I had zero problems. Elevators are always working and carts are always available.

It is not open 24 hours which is a good thing and bad thing. There is 2 gates and you have to use a code to get in and out. They don't have public restrooms at the moment. Woot pandemic! I've never not been able to get a cart to unload with and the building has okay AC

The place was good in the beginning, but they just kept raising my rent. Newbies that started with A1 Storage, paid a lot less a month, (for the same size unit I had) and it just irritated me. You'd think that A1 would have taken care of the long standing renters better but not the case!

So far so good. I used a month free offer to check it out and I'm wishing I had gotten a 57 Or 510 in it Instead of the 55. The pricing on the larger units is huge though. It's around $40 more for the extra 5 feet of space and that is more than I can comfortably afford. I wasn't a fan of the required $12 insurance charge each month and wasn't aware of that when I purchased it online. I also wasnt thrilled that i had to purchase the lock from them as well for around $10. The "free" month started out sounding like It may have said that somewhere but I didn't see it. I have renters insurance but keep forgetting to send it over for that $12 credit to be applied back to my account. The place is clean and secure which is good. Not a bunch of riff raff hanging out here like other places I checked out or have used in the past.

They have very friendly and helpful staff. No matter who assists you. We had gone to another faculty before A-1, and there was no one in the office. Called the number on the door and no one answered, and this was in the middle of the day during business hours. But, at A-1 someone always answered the calls quickly, if they weren't already in the office. They answered all our questions, since this was our first time renting storage. They walked us around showing is elevator access, restrooms and the gate system. A-1 is a very clean and safe facility. The other faculty had plywood walls between units and doors and hot. A-1 had metal walls and solid does, used undated locking system, and were cool inside. Units were easy to access to move our things in and out. We'd definitely use them again if we needed storage services again anywhere.

This place is amazing. The staff are amazing. They are friendly and helpful. They even personally walked me to my unit and opened it for me to see. They don't just hand you a map with your unit circled like motels do. The units are nice and clean. I'm totally satisfied. I was there for 6 months. Every time I walked into the front office, I was greeted with a smile and a friendly face. I won't go anywhere else. After 6 months, my rent would've gone up $5. It's still worth it. The place is kept immaculate with no rodents or pests.

Great customer service from Claudia. She answered all my questions and concerns. Took me out and shoved me around the facility. I like that the place has carts and elevators to make things much easier to get your things stored. The place is clean and kept that way by the staff. The prices are reasonable I suppose. It has been a long time since using a self storage place. Last time I did I was paying $110.00 for a 10x20 space. Let's just say that it's not the case anymore. All in all I am satisfied with my experience and feel that my property is safe. I would highly recommend Lakeside A1 storage.

4 stars for clean building but 1 star for management ...... please note for anyone renting there you have a automatic 9% rent increase at 6 mo and again at your 1 yr. This is not mentioned or in rental agreement at all. When asked they laughed said supplie and demand, there's a demand we have a supply. We have right to increase prices at anytime period.......so renters beware! Also received a notice 5 days before rent due preventing you giving a 7 day notice they require..... so your on hook for another months rent....... nicely done management!

Gary was great, called to confirm my online reservation, and let me know the hours he was in the office. Each unit has an individual alarm that activates when you log out and deactivates when you enter. The building I am in is very clean, and very modern.

I was forced to buy renters insurance at an additional $10.00 per month. I am storing a few boxes of kitchen ware for two to three months. The value is about $100.00. I did not want renters insurance, I was not told when I put the unit on hold and all charges were discussed at that time.

I've had a great experience renting a small storage unit from A-1 Self Storage in Lakeside. It was super easy to reserve a space online, and someone called right away to confirm. When I took my boxes today to check in, I was impressed by the highly professional, helpful staff and thorough protocol to ensure safety and security. Also, the facilities are spotless. I feel very confident about this facility.

I was off work to help my 80 year old Dad pack up his 5 bdrm (plus shed and garage) home to move closer to me. (He had been a 4 hour drive ) I was still up there and needed local storage NOW. Lori arranged to allow my husband and brother to start the process and for me to transfer later. She has been a gem assisting over the phone and getting the guys in a unit! I can't thank her enough for her compassion to a frazzled daughter attempting to help her Dad!

Clean, secure, and well lit, inside and out. They keep the climate inside the building nice, too, which is definitely appreciated while moving boxes around in the summertime. I only ever had one issue (front office couldn't find my insurance paperwork), but it was resolved quickly.

Oh yes I am so glad to say that the a1 is by far the last storage unit place I would ever recommend or use for that matter. I went to the Lksd office the place stunk, literallLy And not only did it have a very strong body odor smell the man inside continues ly wondered like he was on drugs and I didn't want to get a unit but after I existed every other option I had to so I thought. So I went back to get it when I witnessed
a car stereo being stolen straight from this guy's stuff when his back was turned. The best part after the man came to realize it was missing he ran into office to report it and the guy seemed very helpful but after the guy that had been robbed left the guy behind the counter says ya I am getting rid of him speaking like the radio hadn't been stolen. So I believe that the manager guy is in on a big theft ring please watch out here

Very clean and nice staff. It can get crowded and not enough equipment if 10 people are there moving stuff around at the same time. It is very expensive. 5x5 is 72/month which is ridiculous but it is what it is. I have found places that are 10-15/month cheaper.

This storage site is conveniently located, and the storage facilities are well-secured within a double-gated building and grounds. I especially like the width of the corridor to access the units on the upper floor. Elevator locations and sturdy moving carts are provided. The staff has always been helpful and courteous.
