Colorado Springs Public storage on Astrozon Rd has been the WORST experience. In my 15 years of service, I have been using dozens of facilities and last month was the 1st time I used public storage( newest facility in Co Springs) and from there things seemed off. The Guy Robert who is an apparent manager has the worst customer service and lies to customers and forces them the buy the locks at their facility. The 1st locker we used in a crunch, had to unload a truck and I was told my personal lock was approved. When I went to pay they said I had to purchase their lock to use the facility... this is not supposed to happen according to other Public Storage Representatives. During our move in town, we needed a second locker where Robert told my wife it was their policy and she had to purchase their lock AGAIN! We were told by the employees that the facility access was 1st 24 hours, then we were informed that it was 10 PM. During our move in, we went to get our childrens beds after work and we accidentally got locked out. We called the AFTER HOURS NUMBER and was directed to a corporate person who claimed he would leave a note at the facility and ensured to us that they would secure my daughters mattress with the note showing it would be after 5pm. Robert called my phone that afternoon about one of my reviews, said my wife was lying but credited our account for next months rent... I wont be there. During that conversation we talked about the lockout and I would be there this afternoon to pick up the mattress. Once we arrived, the women staff gasped and we were informed that they threw it out. Then, Robert said he remembers our conversation about being locked out but doesnt remember the conversation about the mattress- problem is, that was the whole point of discussing being locked out I told him then he backpedaled. Once they showed us our mattress in the trash, he acted as if we could still use it saying it's not that wet or bad it's just damp. He again called my wife a liar and myself a liar and then said what I was claiming was bull$#*!. Once he said that I obviously was heated and said their facilities staff were rude and trash and filed a claim for my daughters mattress. We now have to purchase a new mattress. The one lady said they make people come back in and purchase their cylinder locks and remove their personal locks all because Robert would prefer the cylinder locks. When I told him over the weekend for about 3 days a gentleman left a snowboard and a pingpong table in the hallway. Robert said they got rid of that too, however I was there when the guy made room his locker and secured it. He is a habitual liar and a thief. Forcing people to buy locks even when they have their own is a dishonest and disgusting way to take from people in need. Terrible that even corporate we called after the incident ( some guy in CA) said that they would not have been able to leave a note and basically the after hours number we called was useless and was basically a buncha smoke blowing. I am shocked that such a large company would treat their customers in such a way. I will be raising the issue with my Garrison Command on Fort Carson about these issues and to make soldiers aware. Terrible place. That is our mattress in the picture at the facility. THANKS A LOT PUBLIC STORAGE! NEVER AGAIN!
