In December 2015, I started looking into getting a storage unit at Public Storage.  I didn't need the unit until mid-January, but there was a promotion at the time for a winter special.  It was important to me that this rate be locked in for the long-term, so I wrote customer service at Public Storage to confirm and they responded:

"Thank you for contacting Public Storage Customer Service.  Yes.  The Winter Holiday Sale is on and many spaces at that location have the 50% off promotion.  With the Winter Holiday Sale the storage unit will be priced at 50% off the regular price for as long as you rent the space."
 
A few months later my rate increased nearly 30%.  When I explained to the manager at the on-site location what happened, I was told it was out of their hands and that corporate decides rates and rate changes.  I wrote an email to corporate explaining that I was told rates wouldn't be increased and didn't get a response.
 
I've had several other issues including very basic tasks, like changing my address, not showing up to the move-in appointment (and leaving a sign on the door that says closed due to company meeting), and refunding unused boxes at the time of move-in.
 
The on-site staff have all been very nice to me, but it was a frustrating experience nonetheless.
