From the start my experience here was terrible.
The access hours were placed as a 24/7 facility, and they promptly changed the hours as I ran into not being able to access my things at a later time. Thank you for updating the hours, but the reason for my review here is directed at the management here.
Patricia, the staff member working last week was extremely rude from start to finish with my correspondences with her. I called a day ahead to ask when the front desk hours were open because I had movers coming with me to move my things out as I was flying in from a deployment for a few days to get my apartment settled. The reason for my question is that I needed a new key as they changed my lock out.
Anyways, before I could even explain my situation she interrupted me with the hours and I let her speak. She then said she would be there at 9:00am.
I arrived there on Saturday, she was at the desk and i went to open the door, she threw her arms up in a manner to shoo me away instead of coming over to speak with me and looked back down at her computer. Admittedly I met her with the same attitude, motioning her to please come talk to me as the movers i hired were 2 minutes out. She came over, opened the door and rudely told me office hours were open at 10:00am. I told her I spoke with her a day before, with being interrupted again that "The exit door should just open up etc etc-", then realized I needed my key.
I got everything moved out, met with her to close out my account and she had me take a picture of the unit, do all the moving out procedures, and continued the same crass attitude.
She tried to make small talk with me, I obliged and talked about how much I love Seattle. She then said something that stuck with me and I found absolutely unprofessional, and it was just the tipping point of the whole situation.
Patricia went on about "how there's so many people that complain about Seattle, the west coast in general. and I just tell them well then they can just go somewhere else".
Patricia, this is the exact reason people don't want to move here to Seattle. It's unperson-able, un-kind, and un-welcoming people such as you, people who don't want to walk 20 feet to ask what someone needs. I was in actual need to get into my storage unit that YOU situated for a meeting the very next day to help me with so I could turn around the next day and get back to the airport the very next day.
This is a storage unit company. It's not that deep. go the tiny extra mile for people or at the least be kind.
Renting a unit here was an absolute waste of my time and energy. Thank you to the other kind staff working and to the customer service agents that adjusted the correct access hours.
