Extra Space Storage Reviews

by Ennisha Jones

I tried 6 times this morning trying to reset my password just to pay my bill and it kept choosing its own password on the website as that’s where your directed to change the password. It automatically chooses this password you go to sign in and it says invalid password/ invalid email. I go to my setting into my iPhone and delete the password it selects and it keeps me in this loop of invalid password/ invalid email. I proceeded to call the company and the customer service agents can’t handle my frustration and they all give me the option of a ticket or they simply couldn’t help. I had to get out of bed just to get on my computer to change my password on the website how inconvenient.

Can’t open unit since it only uses app. Called ph# already for help, resolved nothing, 2 weeks later is same problem. Previous App worked fine. This will cost you business. Planning to ditch Extraspace Storage for this (assuming I can ever get into the unit to remove things).

Update: it eventually it worked. I understood it was an issue with the new app, seemed to be resolved. Today, a few months later. Same problem. I can’t open my unit because ExtraSpaceStorage won’t work. It will login, but not fully load. It does work for others that I met at the site, but not all. We’re wondering if it’s phone type, or provider related? I have fully update iPhone 13, bought 6 months ago, and T-Mobile (data is 600m/s right now) so it doesn’t add up.

This place is very misleading and I feel scammed... I rented a unit for $96 a month and everything was fine until I got a bill for $181. I gave them a call and they told me that "the market value doubled" and so now the $181 charge is what I am going to be paying every month. The confirmation email I first received after purchasing the rental stated that my next fee was going to be $96 but now they tell me that they can charge whatever they want because of "market value". Extra Storage Space is dishonest and actively deceits their customers. I mean just look at the rest of the reviews..

Rented storage with blue tooth lock. Tried to set up ExtraSpaceStorage . Repeatedly got unable to load message after I went through all the steps. I’ve deleted ExtraSpaceStorage multiple times, powered off my phone twice. Still getting error message, which I have on screenshot. Tried to call for support. Never answered. Drove to extra space storage. Very nice person there. He had me delete it again. The Wi-Fi at extra space not sufficient to access ExtraSpaceStorage Store and reinstall, so I ordered a drink at caribou to use their Wi-Fi. Could access ExtraSpaceStorage Store from there but same error messages. I’m driving around with a dresser in my car that blocks the rear view. Luckily I have a back up camera. So very frustrated. The person at extra space told me today that he could move me to a unit with a lock but it would be more $. I like the concept of the blue tooth lock and that I can also give my sister access but I’ve got about 4 hours in for trying to set up, delete, shut down phone….using iPhone SE, was running 16.3.1 just updated to 16.4 to see if that would solve the problems. It didn’t. I wish the extra space number gave the hours they answer calls. I am waiting for a call back. Second time today that I’ve tried. No call back yet. Are they even open for tech assist tonight????

Less than 6 months ago, I rented a small unit for $64. 2 months ago, my rental went up by $20. We are talking about less than a year.

They are supposed to notify me about any rent increase and I received no notification. I have since contacted the Better Business Bureau. They lied and told the BBB, that they notified me by a “phantom” letter 30 days before the increase; which is simply not true.

I hope a negative mark with the BBB will stop this company from scamming customers and lying about it. I would urge you not to use this company!

ExtraSpaceStorage has had a usability problem with the digital access ever since it first launched, but this is freaking ridiculous now. ExtraSpaceStorage continuously scans for access points in the area, and EVERY TIME it refreshes access points, the position of the list changes. So you want to hit Elevator 3? It's the first button. Second button. 4th button. Psyche! 1st button again. 3rd button. 1st button. EVERY SECOND it changes. Like a horribly cursed rhythm game, and you open the wrong lock and have to wait 10 seconds (all other buttons grey out) if they change while you're tapping.

I hate this game. A lot.

by Gone2water

New version broke my unit access from two devices!!! Clearly saw the latest ‘bug fix’ update break my access and have tried to reinstall multiple times. This is the second time I have been locked out of my property due to this e-lock system first time was the e-lock lock itself, now ExtraSpaceStorage . Beware… it is not all roses and trouble free as some reviews say. Ready to move out as this is unacceptable!

by MikeB2of10

I downloaded it as requested then couldn’t get it to open the main garage door, which it no longer tells you which is which.

Literally, they finally got the last one to where it was working great and then they start over. I honestly have wondered if ExtraSpaceStorage development team is trying to destroy the company, because everything has been great other than ExtraSpaceStorage .

by Shancock42

I have tried numerous times to get ExtraSpaceStorage to launch. It will not launch! I have an iPhone running the most recent operating system. I have tried download ExtraSpaceStorage and restarting the phone. Still no luck. The old app works great but I am getting a message that it will no longer be active on 6/20. Maybe extend the access to the old app until the bugs are fixed.

by Bmth1997263

I get an email about ExtraSpaceStorage so I decide to download it. I have an account, I’ve used it before. ExtraSpaceStorage just sits there and loads and won’t let me do anything. Whats the point of this thing if it doesn’t work?

by Frenchyberry

ExtraSpaceStorage cannot be used by everyone. In fact, it can only be used by people who’s facility has Bluetooth set up to open the gates, doors, and locks. So even though ExtraSpaceStorage also allows us other info related to our unit, we can’t even so much as access that information. SMH.

by Nr1242

I got email that said my location could now use app (digital access) instead of keypad. When I login at my location it tells me my location does not have digital access. I did check to make sure my phone was linked to my storage location for internet.

by Jsatmary

don’t use extra space storage. they advertise low costs but the second you’re in there the timer starts for how often they can raise your rent. the first time they doubled my rent, I moved out. second time they raised it by 54% so I moved out. fool me once…

also ExtraSpaceStorage is extremely subpar. it’s basically a safari or chrome window

by Spyder Z

So I understand that our facility doesn't support Bluetooth features. That should not lock me out of using ExtraSpaceStorage for all other account management options. Forcing me to use the mobile site instead of letting me use ExtraSpaceStorage is Clearly broken, and I'm at a loss as to how this made it to ExtraSpaceStorage store without basic account access being #1 in the feature list. -.-

by PianoComedyGirl

I have attempted logging in here for probably 4 or 5 times. I’m in the middle of medical appointments today. However, I had only not been on the screen for maybe 5 PM minutes. And it made me start all over again when I was halfway through putting my information in.

Then I began reading the terms and conditions. And a couple times now, instead of letting me back to check the box next to it, it made me start all over again. That’s very frustrating.

Also, with reference to creating the password, the last time it put up instructions of what I needed to include in it, yet that didn’t show•up the several previous times.

Then, after I FINALLY got an account created just now, I’m on the page but I can’t access my unit information. I need to take a screenshot of the bill. That’s why I created the account just now.

How quickly can you help me access that?

by TheOneCalledChris

Every time I open ExtraSpaceStorage I have to sign back in. It seems that it automatically signed you out if you haven’t used it in a couple of weeks. This usually leaves me sitting at the gate to the facility fumbling around trying to enter in a password. To make matters worse the login screen doesn’t seem to be compatible with my password manager for some reason so I have to manually enter or copy and paste the password. The older version of ExtraSpaceStorage did not seem to have this problem. If you fix this I think ExtraSpaceStorage will be fine.

by LonnieinParadise

We’ve been using Extra space storage for a year now. Manager has been extraordinarily nice and helpful. When ExtraSpaceStorage was developed to help access to our unit, we thought it was great. About a little over one month ago they “upgraded” ExtraSpaceStorage . Now we can’t access ExtraSpaceStorage at all. We called support for assistance because ExtraSpaceStorage now says “it seems we don’t have any rentals with them”, even though we’ve paid for a year in advance. Twice support tells us they don’t understand what the issue is but said they can’t help us. Since today is on a weekend, we will have to wait until the office opens on Monday to see if we can get help. So much for an “upgrade” and help from support!!

by Wes Knapp

Latest update made ExtraSpaceStorage no longer able to display hours of operation. Icon is there, but not functional.

Update:

App now requires me to log in every time I open it. After logging in, it requests the ability to track my usage, then automatically tries to call my facility… after this chain of events, I am finally able to open to gate.

by Ghost-33333

I Wasn’t informed about ez storage having a app , although I like this company I’m contemplating another storage company. The representative I spoke to was really nasty and ghetto popping bubble gum really loud and talking fast . I couldn’t understand anything she was saying 🤦🏼‍♀️. I asked for a 10x 10 unit only to be tricked into 5x 5 unit 😩. I told them it was too small I need something bigger 😤😤. It was really tight , but fortunately I was able stick all of it in .🤤🤤

by Castillademusic

Digital access is missing after downloading on two devices. Not sure why it’s not rendering, but for whatever missing it isn’t showing for me and many others at my storage. Not sure if it’s from the user side regarding permissions or the api side of the noke smart entry passing over to the extra space storage app.

by Molllllllly

I just downloaded ExtraSpaceStorage so I can have when I go to my storage unit for the first time this coming week and it’s not even opening up for me. It just has the loading logo spinning forever and doesn’t show me anything else. I’ve tried restarting ExtraSpaceStorage reinstalling it but it still doesn’t work.

by A Nickname That Wasn’t Taken

ExtraSpaceStorage is incredibly useful when it works as promised. However, my experience has been that when the Face ID fails for any reason, it kicks you out and then doesn’t recognize the password. Then, you have to change the password to get back in. Most annoying.

by Maustin89

Able to set up a new account & login but ExtraSpaceStorage does not load past that, all it says is “unable to load”. Extra star because I noticed app is redirecting to their website for login and is SUPER fast about it, killer page load speeds. Nice job with that 👍🏻 EXTRA STAR FOR EXTRA SPACE! ⭐️ ⭐️ Hopefully app will be able to load soon, I look forward to using it.

by Nascar_fan41

App has always worked fine up till recently. As of March 23rd ExtraSpaceStorage is still not working. Makes it’s difficult to easily access our storage space.

by Long Time Storage Renter

App is glitchy. Doesn’t always open gate. Also, the activity log has never worked and that security feature being off is concerning to me. I’d like to be able to see who and when ExtraSpaceStorage has been used to access the storage.

by AgroWolv420

So I’m at my storage unit almost every day. I’ve had no problems with the facility at all. It’s great it’s private it’s secure ExtraSpaceStorage on the other hand could be better. my girlfriend as well as myself I’ve been locked out of our unit twice now because of ExtraSpaceStorage saying that the facility is closed during facility hours the only way to fix the problem is to reinstall ExtraSpaceStorage I don’t wanna have to do that. Every time I access my locker.

by Gaming Shack

Green out they allow you to opportunity to do many things on it but the one thing that I was hoping that I could be able to do was to make changes to my contract with my storage. Examples would be taking all of the insurance for my storage unit through the application, they don’t allow me to modify such features outside of that. ExtraSpaceStorage is a pretty good app to use when needed most the time.

by StLChanell

I have been a customer for a while, but since this second time that it’s changed ownership, none of the access has been available, prices are skyrocketing. I’m wondering what is happening with this company and why so many ownership issues. Now my gate isn’t opening for me, called the help line, they couldn’t figure things out. I’m left looking at the company in a different light. The facts are not stacking up to make the company look positive.

by Melis-a

From start to finish in only 24 hours the process of securing a unit and gaining access was effortless. During a difficult time that happened suddenly, being displaced and trying to secure personal items but most importantly sentimental items, I was treated with kindness and compassion. Starting with Jessie (sp) who patiently help me through the process via phone, then when I arrived at the location trying to figure out how to access the gate, locate my unit, and had multiple questions about the entire process ( because I couldn’t find the email with all the information) I was professionally greeted by Catrina. After a long stressful day it was refreshing to be greeted with not only a smile, but someone who could see my stress, continued to reassure me she will take care of everything and she did above and beyond. She even made a point hours later to check in with me, making sure I was okay. Overall a great experience

by Toaster8819

I used to have a sticky note where I kept all of my storage info but with ExtraSpaceStorage it makes it 100x easier to get in an out of the building quick and a smooth process.

Def recommend!

by BSCHNELK

nice to meet Ed, he was very helpful. Because it was clean and plenty of space to park and unload. Only, I would like to see ability to use ExtraSpaceStorage to open the gate, not to have to pull up and try to enter it on the pad through the windows. My previous storage unit had that and it is very helpful.

by Pmfly4fun

This is one of the first time I went from using a website to using a downloaded app and everything having to do with logging in worked exactly the same. Kudos to the programmers !!!! Also, any error messages I ran into setting up the account made perfect sense. Kudos to the programmers again !!!

Can you tell I’m a retired programmer ? That’s why I am so critical of how interfaces work. This one is great. Thank you !!

It was working fine. Following the lastest update, it will no longer launch. iPhone xr, ios 14.8

UPDATE: The developers got back to me within an hour about this issue, and had a fix for the problem within a few days, if that! Now, updated with the face recognition, ExtraSpaceStorage makes it so much easier to enter the storage facility’s premises.

by WorthFlorida

My facility was just upgrade for Digital access via APP. No way to access it and when tapping share it replies only available with facilities with digital access. I did receive an email that digital access is available. I deleted ExtraSpaceStorage reinstalled it but it asked for SIRI access. No, I'm not going to talk to my phone nor activate it on my iPhone. I expect to open ExtraSpaceStorage , tap access, then open. The account home page still has * and # and the new system no longer uses these digits. ........".........................."
Update: just last week, Jan 11, ExtraSpaceStorage now fully functions. I do not know when it started but I thought I take a look at it. Never did get an updated notice. Surprisingly the doors to the building also work from ExtraSpaceStorage . It would be nice if it worked on CarPlay so you're not fiddling with the phone to get to ExtraSpaceStorage . For some reason, this morning I had to log in before Face ID would work. Maybe the iPhone had an update but it was the first time in a week.

by DTremain

ExtraSpaceStorage allows you to enter the gate without getting out of the vehicle or fighting to get near enough to use the keyboard. You need to get out to open the unit, but you were going to anyway, right?
Access to both the gate and unit is within seconds.
Technology done right!

by Tallseas

The way of the world today, collect, use, store your possessions, then your kids will keep what they want and give the rest. Actually that’s been the way for eons, that’s why storage space is useful, kids can keep the stuff until parents kick the bucket

by Angela Pollack

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The gentleman working in the office was informative, helpful and professional. I was a little nervous that our moving truck would not make the turns needed to get to our assigned unit so he told me a little trick and helped us back right in making it so much easier. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and made our moving day go smoothly.
Rates are reasonable and the units are kept up and secure.
I absolutely recommend this facility for any storage needs!

by Meesha613

It’s only coming up in the end of my first month renting a unit with you. So far i have had no problems and had no problems accessing my unit. I would like to compliment your manager. I can’t remember her name, but she lives on the premises. She is very courteous and accommodating. She is a very caring and sweet person. It’s nice to have someone pleasant and knowledgeable to assist you when you’re going through such stressful times. I appreciate her.

Sincerely,
Michele Y Pursley

I have had the utmost pleasure dealing with Jeremy at the East Palo Alto facility today! While he is ordinarily an Assistant Manager at the Sunnyvale facility, his kindness and professionalism was truly phenomenal. I will definitely be referring others to Extra Space because of him!!! Thank you Jeremy for being such a Class Act! We need more people like you in this world!🙏

by Kenee Maree’

I personally have been with Extra Space Storage for the last 10 years and it has been a wonderful experience. I recommend it to anyone who needs storage service. It is efficient and serves the customers needs.

by Returning Customer Billy

Kerry is so patient and helped us set up everything with our storage. I am so impressed with how clean the unit and storage place is. Great folks and super friendly. The security is outstanding!!

by Beth 1980

Great experience after I had a bad experience from another storage company I was quite surprised by how quickly I was able to get a storage unit and how close to the entrance and they had carts to help pull your stuff to your unit love it!

by Thebean333

Went yesterday with my daughter to secure my storage. Michele was just the best. Very helpful. Show us several units. Made sure we had enough space for what we needed to store. The place was clean. Looked very safe. I am looking forward to having a good experience. Thank you, Michele for all that you did.

by RJ Leveillee

New ownership has made accessing the storage units even simpler. Previously we had to drive to the keypad on drivers side of vehicle into oncoming cars/trucks. The mobile app will help tremendously

by Burger King's Momma

Easy to use. Was able to find cheap storage, FAST!

by Ika0610

Nora was amazing! Super helpful and nice. She got us in and out and with the best storage for us. Extra Space Storage should definitely give her a raise!

by Wingman65

These are the nicest people you will meet ! Very professional, courteous, knowledgeable and polite. Thank you Brad, Cliff and Andrew for making our move so easy !

by Christine-1

Great place to do business with very knowledgeable crew, very friendly……..

by LEOHDrdking

This is the second time I’ve used Extra space storage for a storage unit and both times they have been on any request I needed. It’s always very very clean so it’s always been secure. Anytime I have been at the payment date. They have called to give me a reminder Extra space storage is the storage do you want to use two thumbs up five stars

by Drpzne

I was greeted when I got to the unit by Tony show me where it was very professional and very courteous, just very professional. I want to thank you for your help, have a great day

by Pleased Renter

I have been researching storage units in the area for a while. I came across Extra space storage. I stopped by to check it out. The place was immaculate and the representative was more than helpful. He Showed me a few units. We discussed pros and cons. I decided on one. Moving day was a breeze. They have carts that you can use ample parking and convenient elevators. I couldn’t be more happy with my choice.

by Storing Satisfaction

I am a returning customer for many reasons. Top three being , 1, the ease of registration 2, There security system and 3rd the cleanliness! I have to say my number one reason I don’t use other companies is because in the past I used other storage companies and there were always an issue, from registration to security! I’ve used Extra Storage in different locations and the services are 2nd to none!

Thank you Extra Space Storage!
