East Bay Self Storage

Had to rent a U Haul cargo van for a few days while one of our work vans was down for major repairs.
I found East Bay Self Storage via the U Haul rental site.
I called to confirm that they had the van we needed and went right over to fill out the paperwork.
Pat in the office is such a sweetheart!
She had the van ready for us and we were in and out in under 20 minutes!
She even gave us a gate code in case we needed to drop the van back off during off hours.
Very easy and convenient location right behind the Dunkin Donuts!
You can rent your U Haul van or truck right through Pat and pick up at any U Haul location… I would highly recommend using East Bay Self Storage for anyone in need of a U Haul rental!

Pretty big facility with outdoor large garage door units to inside heated units. Corridors are always clean, parking area and side roads to units always clear as well (except for some small boats and cars that people have rented out door spots for, so sometimes maneuvering is tricky). Been coming here for years never have a problem. Ranges in price for different units. You can pay one month at a time or months in advance. There is a gate at front where you put your individual code in to get in and out. Gate locks after you. Only bummer about gate is going out hard to swing your car around if you come from right hand side. You have to backup at least one to get to key pad.
You can actually have a moving company or ups ship right to your unit if you wish. Never see anyone around at desk. Their back fence is connected to a wood yard but they don’t seem to bother anyone and cameras say they are in use in that back fence. Pricey but aren’t all storage places.

As others have mentioned, Pat runs a tight ship here and is pleasure to deal with. My wife and I had a lot of logistical changes to deal with in the past year and East Bay was the perfect location and situation for us. Pat has great rates, the storage units are climate controlled and very clean/​well lit and it was easy to get our stuff in/​out, even though our units were on the second level (they have easy to use storage elevators). Right off 195 and minutes from Providence make this a great place to use if you need storage services!

I love the Pat the manager of East Bay Storage — she made the experience of moving/​storing a lot less stressful. I have moved quite a bit over the past couple of years and this is by far the best storage facitlity thanks to Pat’s attention to detail. I liked her so much that I rented a Uhaul from her when I recently relocated to Buffalo and she had it on site ready to go when I moved. She even called the next day to make sure we made it alright!

I got a storage unit with them 3 years ago when I lived in Riverside. Since then I’ve moved twice and I still kept my storage unit here. Great location with nice tall ceilings and a very friendly staff. And I just found out they have a good price on packaging tape and boxes! Also did I mention it is climate control, which it just another added benefit to this place. They just started Uhaul rentals as well.

Bright, friendly and clean
Access from one ninety five
Personal service
Storage places are all pretty much the same, as far as their basic purpose. As long as there’s a roof, floor and door with a lock, what else do you need? The rates are mostly the same in any given area, as are the sizes, accessibility, etc. So why be picky?
There’s a few reasons to choose this over other similar locations, and most of those reasons originate from their manager, Pat. She’s super friendly, and very attentive to everyone’s needs. She personally cleaned out the space I used on a Friday night to get it ready for my move. She left a comprehensive note to the staff person working on Saturday explaining my situation, what she’d done to my account already, etc. When I couldn’t come in and pay on Monday, she said don’t worry about it that I could catch up with her sometime later in the week.
Overall, she was incredibly helpful to work with in getting all moved in, from taking me on a tour of the units I was considering to personally calling me on Saturday evening when she thought there might have been a problem with my move in (there was, but only minor.)
I would definitely recommend East Bay over other places I considered. From the first time I came in to get a quote, I felt like I was the only person storing things there, and that sort of personal service goes a long way in my estimation.
Of course, the place is clean, bright, secure, and has enough carts to fill the needs of a large moving party (4+) all working at the same time. Many other places also have all of these qualities, but really they felt like am empty lot with an unconcerned attendant. Here, I get a wave as I pass by the main office.
