StorageMart - Market & San Pablo

Lots of units available

Good prices but one drawback. You cannot access your items after 6 pm. They are open during 9am-6 pm only, no amount of begging will allow you access after that . Even if it's only 6:15. Just know that and plan accordingly

Recommended: No

It's less expensive

One of the front desk employees has no empathy whatsoever

Recommended: Yes

Just what I needed!

Rachelle at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The units are in good shape and at a fair price.

Recommended: Yes

Great Customer Service! Jessica was great and very helpful.

Seems like Storage Mart will suit my needs well. I was a little disappointed that the "first month free" offer online was not available in the store, but Jessica was very kind and helpful, which I appreciated.

Recommended: Yes

Fast an easy

The manager was friendly an knowledgeable in her business an took her job seriously. We could use more people like that in today’s world regardless of the Job. Thanks

Recommended: Yes

Very nice place

I had an easy time checking into the unit. Pravesh at the front office was very nice and attentive, making things a breeze. The unit though was not quite the dimensions advertised, but I made it work.

Recommended: Yes

Unit I was assigned did not match description

I ordered a 6x10x8 and the room I was assigned when I arrived was not those dimensions so I got charged extra to get another unit since my stuff would not fit in the assigned unit. Horrible experience

Recommended: No

Affordable, helpful staff

Easy to get in and out, do need to be physically fit to load in/out with elevator, but simple, affordable process. Staff was kind and helpful.

Recommended: Yes

Clean but underwhelming

The facility is clean, but the storage itself was a lot smaller than we were lead to believe. Customer service was adequate.

Recommended: Yes

Filthy, nasty, crazy place with too many things going on.

Run! Don’t get a unit here, the place is filthy and the staff hella unorganized.

Recommended: No

Great value and great facility

Very pleased with this facility's flexibility and price point. Late access would be nice, however I appreciate the security concerns. The staff are lovely and helpful, and the facility has places to park outside on the street as well as inside the unit, plus push cart dollies, which are extremely helpful. I'm happy to know my things are safe and that the staff is happy to help. I love the elevator, too! Choose this spot for your storage needs!

Recommended: Yes

Helpful service with some technical glitches

I felt like I got a good deal on the unit and the manager was very helpful with whatever I needed. The freight elevator could definitely use some instruction signage—and it feels like a puzzle to figure out the first time you use it. My gate code also didn't work at all the first day so needed the manager to let me in.

Recommended: Yes

Great Customer Service

Woman worked with us to find a great unit for a great price.

Corporate order errored. The facility stepped up with excellent customer service!!

It was decent

The room was not exactly as described (smaller) and the elevator was hard to use

Recommended: Yes

The space is too small

I can’t even fit anything in my storage unit because the hallway is too small

Recommended: No

Easy to use and affordable

It came through in the last minute. Very happy

Recommended: Yes

Good service. Everything explained. Satisfied customer.

The person who helped me to check in was very helpful.

Recommended: Yes

Friendly helpful staff

I appreciated the help situating some larger items. I was disappointed the space was 8 sq ft smaller than expected. You made a fair price reduction, but the extra space would have allowed us to keep our stuff organized instead of cramming it into every available nook and cranny. The maintenance guy should wear a mask in a building filled with strangers. People are dying from Covid and I don't want to be one of them.

Recommended: Yes

Great customer service!

Great storage space, convenient location, and I am happy I picked this place to store my stuff. A huge thank you to Tishone, the manager of this facility, for helping me during an extremely stressful moving day. I moved from another storage unit to StorageMart because the pricing was much better for a larger unit. The facility was busy, but there were still plenty of carts available for my move. And I was so grateful that the management was so accommodating. Thank you!

Recommended: Yes

Worked in the kitchen

Nice place i knew it first time i saw the place

Recommended: Yes

Okay location I guess

The customer service rep was just too sweet, real calm with a lot of patience!!

Pretty good place...reasonably priced.

Appreciate Sparefoot and StorageMart for partnering and being so dead on!!! And very simple process Thanks Guys!!!

Recommended: Yes

As advertised.

Unit was a bit dirty, and staff was ok. But good overall.

Recommended: Yes

Great service, overall okay

The people working there were incredible, helpful beyond expectation or belief. The facility wasn’t very well maintained, ripped carpets, not enough ladders, etc, but overall fine.

Recommended: Yes

Very quick and helpful

Clean place, service was patient and helpful. Very easy to navigate

About my storage unit

I had a very decent experience and I was given my storage unit with ease and the paperwork was light, easy, and very understandable.

Recommended: Yes

My man hooked me up and made things hella smooth.

I was in a bad way needing a place for my things and this place really hooked me up. It was good stuff, all around.

Great customer service

Everybody is good there and the people are great and nice

Recommended: Yes

Not that bad

It's a storage unit and it dies that we'll enough. Check it was fine, explained all the nesesary details and process for ending the use of the space. Hours are not the best and parking is difficult and sketchy.

Recommended: No

Rats !! Ratones!!

Rats!!!! Nice people managing it but they can’t fix their rat problem! My stuff has droppings all over it!

Recommended: No

Storage made relatively easy

The process of moving in was relatively easy, the customer service was great and the the price was very reasonable.

Recommended: Yes

Super down to earth and thoughtful

Do not make short cuts and make sure your peace of mind is first and formost. I legit feel like if my things were in my home.

Recommended: Yes

Super helpful and extremely transparent customer service.

Know me by name and not for negative reasons. Go above and beyond to ensure your things are safe and sounds. Always have peace of mind knowing that my things are in good hands. Would completely recommend to anyone who values their things and wants to ensure that extensions of themselves are always safe. I’m so glad I found them!!!

Recommended: Yes

Quick and easy way to store your stuff

Very helpful good price and location

Recommended: Yes

Best price...best location for me

Good size storage for the $$.man at the desk very nice!

Recommended: Yes

Cheap and friendly

Small space that is difficult to reach and partially blocked but it is cheap.

Recommended: Yes

Conveniently located.

Good customer service and understanding if you are late finishing up the storage process.

Recommended: Yes

Good customer service but shady facility

The location is great and the people behind the desk are nice and helpful, but thats about it. The parking at the facility is only for two cars at a time, and loading/unloading is difficult with very small carts and a locked gate between the cars and the very old freight elevator. The storage rooms are very basic - no lighting, and not particularly clean.

Recommended: Yes

Gross!

This place is really dingy and dirty. Walking around it feels like you're in a maze from a Saw movie. The first storage unit they offered me had a giant pole in it reducing the square footage by 1-2 feet! The storage unit I ended up with doesn't have a pole but does look like a dungeon. I guess it wouldn't be so bad to be locked up in there though because a 10 year old could probably kick down the door. No wonder they *require* you to buy additional insurance. ...But at least I'm saving $60 a month, so I guess that's worth it?

Recommended: No

Best price, the locker was smaller than expected though

This was the most affordable place in the area and they were very helpful to me. My one issue was that I rented a storage unit that was supposed to be 8 feet deep but it was 7. However, they were very helpful and we ended up making that unit work.

Recommended: Yes

Close to downtown, cheap, and friendly service

I was so happy to find this spot because of the price and location, and the customer service is great. Would recommend to friends.

Recommended: Yes

The facility was dirty, but the unit was clean

The hallways are very narrow, which was a bit difficult to navigate with my furniture.

Recommended: Yes

Decent facility, extremely affordable

Less than $30 a month for a 40 sq ft upper unit is pretty unheard of. Also got first month free as part of a promo. However, the first unit I saw had huge rat droppings. The worker was kind though and moved me to a different, cleaner unit on a different floor. The facility smells old/damp and there seem to a many homeless people who live out of (though not in) storage units here. Despite the negatives, this place fit my needs.

Recommended: Yes

Cheap and close to home

The unit is a little tricky to reach, but it is big enough for me, close and cheap. I'm very happy about it. Nathaniel is a great guy!

Recommended: Yes

Quick, east, great value

The facility reminds me of "the shining" but overall my experience was nice & service was great. Value for money is unbeatable!

Recommended: Yes

Gets the job done!

Employees were helpful, but the area felt a little dangerous. Freight elevator was difficult opperate. Makes up for what it lacks in reasonable prices

Recommended: Yes

The manager is great and the place is solid.

I'm a college student, and I have to be particular with how I spend my money. Here I got a really good price and a 5x10ft storage space. I highly recommend.

Recommended: Yes

Does the job

Needs cleaning. Great customer service

Recommended: Yes

Facility was not open on time

Facility is dirty and smelly Service is ok They were not open on time

Recommended: Yes

Convenient location is the only upside

The only way to sufficiently describe the place is willfully forgotten.

Recommended: Yes

Horrible service, unclean, overpriced, sketchy, stolen credit cards...

I started out my encounter realizing that I'd been scammed in a bait and switch operation. The reservation I made wasn't fulfilled- they tried to sell me a smaller size for over twenty more dollars per unit. The first one he showed me had no light in it, it was smelly and filthy dirty. They didn't even bother to sweep it. The locks are sketchy, the carts don't go into half the units so you have to transport heavy stuff from hallway to unit. The guy left my credit card unattended and it was stolen by another customer. When I asked him to call the police and report it while I cancelled the card- he refused and instead grabbed my U-Haul truck keys and went to move my truck out of the facility. His only concern was to get out of work by closing time. When I grabbed my keys out of his hand and told him he can't operate the truck- he was very rude. I had to pay an extra day of the uhaul truck because I didn't have a credit card to pay the fees and was late. When I called on Monday to report it to manager-he pretended to be the manager. When I tried to locate the district manager- they never bothered to call me back. Needless, to say I am going to have to rent another truck and move my stuff out of there because the place creeps me out. Worst service ever.

Recommended: No

Small but good

For small rental needs, this place is perfect. The only downside is the parking bay which holds only 2 cars or trucks at a time. The service from the manger was very good.

Recommended: Yes

No frills solid unit.

Not the cleanest place I've ever been, but also not extremely dirty or anything. Does what it says - a place to store your things.

Recommended: Yes

The manager went out of her way to wait for me

I was running late and the manager went out of her way to help me get moved in on time!

Recommended: Yes

Yuck! I signed the contract to soon out of desperation

The building is rundown and the floors were filthy with random litter and holes in walls but I thought it would be ok. I didn't hear the rats squealing in the walls until I had already dragged my first boxes in. I'm looking for another facility as we speak that place is disgusting. Unfortunately I don't think I can get my money back.

Recommended: No

It was great and spacious, top customer service!

I loved this place, I didn't catch the employee's name but he helped me park my really big van. Everyone was very helpful and patient. Thanks.

Recommended: Yes

Good service, system and security.

Nice place. The only thing preventing a 5 star rating is lighting in the units and 24 hour access.

Recommended: Yes

Friendly

Nice place to do business. Had a good visit to the storage unit, it was just what I needed.

Recommended: Yes

Convenient storage for the bay area

StorageMart had great customer service as I approached management about a unit. They had dolly's available for use which made the moving much easier. They allow you to drive up close to the main gate which is very convenient.

Recommended: Yes

good storage for the price

plenty of room for your things, but they clearly have a rat problem as there are traps at every corner.

Recommended: Yes

Loved the outcome

Good location, excellent price

Cheap but gets the job done

I was looking for a small unit for plastic bins of clothes and books; this was the cheapest rate and most convenient location. There was a deal going through spare foot so I made an online reservation for the same day. The gent working was incredibly busy and juggling multiple customers my entire time there. He gave me the rate I got online (even though there was a different discount I -could- have gotten based on demand), but gave me a really convenient unit on the first floor instead of an upper floor. There are rat traps set every 5 feet and he was very adamant about all boxes and bins being sealed tightly and definitely no food in any of them. The latch on my unit is pretty janky and it looks like you could take a hammer to it to bust it open. With it being one of the lockers requiring a hard-to-find ladder, and the number of people who had issues with the gate code not working, I'm not that worried about the safety of my stuff. The rat traps though… those are a little unsettling.

Recommended: Yes

Great customer service and seems like a safe, relatively clean facility

Recommended: Yes

Great customer service, clean and secure facility

Very friendly and helpful customer service. Could use more equipment (dollies, ladders, etc.) but other than that, it's a great storage facility

Recommended: Yes

Great place, great service!

The location is good, accessible storages with a great staff! The price is very affordable, you get what you pay for and more. Security seems strong, no hassle,l with anything. All and all a very good place

Recommended: Yes

Ok location, great price, the staff is very friendly and helpful.

The staff that you have there is very excellent very knowledgeable very helpful when it comes down to the customer relations

Recommended: Yes

Good facility

The facility itself is good and a great value, it's well maintained. The only downside is it's in a bit sketchy part of Oakland, and all tha entails.

Recommended: Yes

Staff were friendly, facilities were adequate

Recommended: Yes

space is not exactly as advertised

I reserved a 8 x 10 space thinking I would have plenty of ceiling space to stack my boxes and some bags and stand my mattresses up....I only had about 2 feet where this was possible due to the small spaces they placed above my space..there are rodent traps EVERYWHERE, which concerns me....hopefully I'll be out in a couple weeks.....

Recommended: No

Easy to move and nice staff

The only problem was that my reservation was given to someone else, even though I confirmed. Fortunately, there was another space that just became available.

Recommended: Yes

Kept waiting for the catch

The staff when I checked in was very courteous and professional. Compared to other places that want ridiculous money this place seems like a very good deal. When giving me the briefing on the place and its policies I kept waiting for the catch, they will charge minimum one year to get this price. Nope. You can't move out anytime you want. Nope. You have to use a credit card. Nope. You have to buy our $50 a month insurance. Nope. They didn't try to rip me off in any way I could see which is what I'd expect at a place that charges a fraction of what others want. Just good service and a good enough facility. On the negative side I'd say that the little space I rented seems like it would not be hard at all to break into, but I'm not storing gold in there, just my work gear. So if you are reading this please don't break into my unit.

Recommended: Yes

As advertised, good rate, helpful service.

The hallways and units are really dingy, and there are rat poison containers everywhere. Locker units have doors made of plywood...

Recommended: No

This was the worst experience I have ever had!!!!

The employee at Storage Mart confirmed with me the size unit I had requested. I told him that the biggest item I needed to store was my bed. He assured me that it would fit. When I arrived, he again confirmed that this would fit and that the bed was the biggest item. He then placed me in another unit closer to the elevator. Upon trying to move items into this unit, I realized that this unit was not the correct/requested size. The bed absolutely would NOT fit. After 2 hours, the front desk man then put me in a larger unit for 4 times the price of the original quote! The whole time this occured, the front desk man was fighting with another employee. There was a used condom on the ground when moving in!!! This was the worst experience I have ever had trying to move. I would not have chosen this storage facility had I know what was going to happen. After moving all of my things out, into the elevator, out of the moving truck, into the 1st storage locker and then back out because it was TOO SMALL, I was completely exhausted and done with the whole situation. WORST PLACE EVER!!!!

Great customer service!

Overall, a really great place. Wonderful customer service, the manager is really sweet, smart, and helpful. Clean and organized facility

Recommended: Yes

Good service, good price, seems safe, just unsure of cleanliness.

Rumors of rats and other pests, as well as a smell issue that was covered by excessive disinfecting sprays make me unsure of the cleanliness of the building and hesitant about leaving my things there over the summer. Service, price and security are all satisfactory, so I'd suggest investing in an exterminator and new carpets, maybe some paint jobs in order to keep customers

Recommended: Yes

Kept having issues with trying to get in to the building, but everything else was great.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. My only issue was getting into the gate to put my stuff inside. But that also assures me that if i can't get in, then thief's cannot either so that works out. One other complaint is another customer told me there was rats and the building was unclean, i don't know if this is true or not but it worries me, so it should be looked into and will be considered next summer when I'm trying to decide where I want to store my things again.

Recommended: Yes

great price and service

StorageMart has the best rates for storage I've come across. I just needed the smallest space available (I think it's around 5x5x4?) since I only have a few boxes, but everywhere else I looked was charging $70 per month while StorageMart charged $30 (around $40 with insurance). The customer service is also great; staff were really friendly and helpful.

Recommended: Yes

The ease of finding a storage space right away was easy at this location.The site manager was very personable and friendly. The security staff John even helped me with one cart of furniture which I thought was great. Overall I recommend this location. The prices are right and I'm sure they will have the storage size to meet your needs.

Recommended: Yes

For the price, I was thrilled with the cleanliness of the facility and the helpfulness of the staff when I moved in.

Recommended: Yes

Cheap

Not in the best neighborhood, not the best hours, not the fanciest facility but excellent service with a smile and unbeatable prices. The clerk was really transparent about their policies and practices, informing me I'd receive a couple rent increases over the next couple years to bring my price from $30/mo to $45 or so. Note that their "lockers" are basically attic spaces above their normal spaces, with separate doors above the regular doors, so you'll need to use one of their moveable staircases to load it up. Not ideal if you're moving heavy boxes full of books, but again, super cheap, and I'm not planning on moving things in/out terribly often.

Recommended: Yes

Great deal for a unit, easy and convenient.

Great customer service, and an especially good deal for people looking for a smaller space for only a few months. Really helpful and SO affordable.

Recommended: Yes

Good staff, good location, fine storage

I haven't finished using my storage space yet but so far it's fine. The place is convenient and I've already gone back to take stuff out since I moved in. The people who work there are really nice. Unfortunately I chose it for the affordability I noticed online and when I got there realized it was for a attic-like space that wouldn't work so I had a big price increase from what I expected. But they were pretty flexible with some deals. I made sure to get a good lock for my unit because it seems like the gate is easy to get through. I was able to pull right in and take care of everything really quick and easy- it'll do.

Recommended: Yes

Friendliest, Cheapest, Most Helpful Storage!

Natnael was a great manager and helped us out perfectly! We had a slight hiccup on reserving a storage unit and he made sure we had one anyways! I would recommend this place to a friend for sure. If you're around the area, you won't find a cheaper deal!

Recommended: Yes

So far it's been pleasant.

Recommended: Yes

Excellent pricing supported by an even more excellent customer service experience - Natnael and Yonas were great!

Move-in was very easy, and Natnael was extremely helpful and clear in his communications. Was dreading having to deal with storing my stuff, but the great customer service made the experience easy and even pleasant!

Recommended: Yes

Fantastic service

The customer service is excellent. They helped me find the cheapest and most convenient storage unit, insisting that as I was a student they did not want to charge too much, and tried to do the best for me.

Recommended: Yes

Not as secure feeling as I'd like

The front gate into the storage area doesn't close very quickly so people could "sneak" in. There was also a hint of pee in the air. I wish there was a more secure space and more space to put your car when you loaded and unloaded stuff.

Recommended: Yes

Amazing, cheap, convenient

The elevator and facility are a little janky, and haven't been updated since the beginning of electricity, but can't beat the price and outstanding customer service.

Recommended: Yes

Great customer service

Fast, friendly and affordable. I also like the location, which is close to downtown Oakland and Emeryville. The only thing is that the elevator is an old freight elevator which door is too heavy for me to open and close by myself.

Recommended: Yes

Fantastic!

Great customer service, competitive prices, and a location that's easy to access.

Recommended: Yes

The two gentlemen working were thorough, polite and helpful.

Rather dim, with no lighting in units. Rat Traps all over the place gave me the heebie geebies...better to catch them than that they are crawling all over my stuff?????

Recommended: Yes

I went to storageMart because storage.com promised me a first floor, outside unit for $110/mo. When I got there they tried to give me a second floor unit for $120. I had to show them my email to get the right unit (even though it was indoors) at the quoted price. It wasn't a problem but it shouldn't have happened.

Recommended: Yes

The price is good but other aspects of renting from them make it less than ideal.

My overall experience was decent but I feel like they have a bunch of policies that are put in place just to extract more money from the customer. An example is that you have to give a 15 day notice that you plan to relinquish your unit, and you can't pro-rate your rent if you want to move out in the middle of the month. If you think about this, there is no good reason to do this as the demand for storage units may peak in the beginning of the month but should remain relatively constant over the other weeks, so they shouldn't create such a huge incentive to move at only a certain time. The other sketchy policy is to require an additional fee if you don't have renters/homeowner's insurance to cover your unit. They told me that the fee would be an additional $10 per month for my unit. Which makes one think that they are providing insurance, but when you read the form and all the exceptions, one would be hard-pressed to come up with a situation where they would actually pay for damage or loss to your property.
