The price is excellent, the place is clean;
I have been there 2 1/2 - 3 years and I am not a 'Happy Camper'!
I rent a 5x5 for $26 pr mth which is excellent comparatively speaking.
However, the first year of renting there I accessed my unit to find it in disarray...I thought it was from the earthquake (residing in Sonoma we felt it much more severe) instantly the manager passed by, I informed him that the earthquake had strewn my possessions around, he looked inside the unit then told me to make sure nothing is missing, so I did and he was correct, an older model laptop a sheet and a blanket were missing...but they were the only items missing!?! I went down to the office to inform him that yes there were a few items missing but they didn't have any real value and that I'm more concerned about how the burglars got into the unit. He followed me up to the third floor where my unit is...we both surveyed the unit but couldn't detect any forced entry; the manager asked if I had insurance, I replied that I did not but that I wasn't worried about that (again making that known) but how they got in!? I inquired about the alarm and he agreed that it would have activated and said that he would generate a printout of the units access history...he did and brought it up to me, no indications found!?!
I put my things back in order and didn't dwell on it...I will say the next time I accessed the unit I did get that feeling of being vulnerable and that got me thinking...It is mandatory that every unit purchases and uses the facilities special barrel lock for their unit; so I suggested to him weeks later that it could have been an inside job...he immediately dismissed it and assured me that there is no master key for those locks.
Well alrighty then...I unconcerned myself over it!
Several months had passed and all was well, not really; the relief manager had always been rather stern and intimidating but she seemed to be directing it at me, I took it lightly and kept cordial just the same although her demeanor toward me started becoming more intense and she stopped being courteous, wouldn't engage in any friendly talk and basically excommunicated me...the regular manager started the same approach!?! I didn't notice the janitor around anymore?!
I stop by my unit typically once or twice a month, I don't bring anyone there, I am always quiet and clean and I access my unit with something in mind and then do it and depart...I have a large tub with mail and paperwork, etc. stuffed in it and I needed to go through and find some important papers and documents...this took half a day and I returned the following day to continue, I found all of what I had been looking for but the tub definitely needed more addressing.
My unit is on the third floor, the temperature gets stifling hot which makes it difficult to be around or hang out!
One day the regular manager zips by my unit while I am there and tells me that I've been hanging out there too long, he returns to my unit with an envelop addressed to me from who he called the manager, it read that I have been spending way to much time there and hanging out!!!
