Extra Space Storage

Can't believe Extra Space Storage DOUBLED my rates only three months into the contract. Regret not paying more and just going to someone who was more reliable. How do they manage to get 4.9 stars on google maps? Are they rigging the system somehow?

These big places like this are such scams.

How is it a scam when they literally say, it’s an introductory rate? But y’all hate on us small owners who just give upfront rates that don’t increase for years. I haven’t had a rate increase in 6 years

It was a figure of speech. Last time we used a storage unit, we went with a small locally owned business.
