We were able to do everything over the computer and had the most amazing help over the phone. That's was what sold my wife. I believe Kameron was her name. Also reading such great reviews helped make our decision that much easier. 💯recommend this fe"
"I was so happy to have such a wonderful experience with Kameron, She helped me figure out everything that I was going to need when I get to the area. Great personality and knowledge of what I was really needing."
"I used this storage facility to store items for my daughter's dorm since we are from out of state. The staff there was super friendly and so accommodating! Kameron and Sarah personally went above and beyond to ensure that our items were delivered and stored safely. The facility is spotless and the electronic access is extremely useful. I cannot say enough great things about the staff professionalism and courteousness, cleanliness of premise and most definitely plan on using this storage facility again! Highly recommend!!"
"We used this storage this summer while our first born went to college. So nice to feel our stuff is some where safe and cared for. Kameron helped us and put our hearts at ease. I knew We were at the right spot after having one meeting with her. Thank you"
"I have known the owner since my days in college and knew that he had put a lot of effort into a high-end storage facility. I need to store some personal belongings while undergoing a house renovation for 5 months.. I was very pleased with the process and the unit was clean and nice little touches include the internet-based access into the storage facility and they will also provide you the key and lock for the storage center. The service personnel Kameron and Josh were very personable and attentive to my needs. I would highly recommend Life storage of Gainesville."
"I didn't realize how state-of-the-art, secure and clean a storage place can be! And actually, while I was there, I met the owner and he talked with me and showed me what they'd done, and why they'd done it that way. It's basically like Disney World compared to the county fair. They only chose and continue to choose doing it the right way. It's very secure and very humid-controlled all over the place."
"This is the most technologically advanced, secure, safe, clean, convenient and well managed storage facility in all of Alachua county. The smart phone based access control system and smart locks with digital key sharing for individual storage units is awesome. It's powered mostly by solar panels, and the first floor has dedicated dehumidifiers for the best storage environment available!"
"Kameron (manager) was fantastic to work with. Very knowledgeable and superb customer service. Moving from out of state and she helped to make the process seamless. Storage units are very nice, clean and include contemporary locking system. Would definitely recommend !"
"Kameron was great to work with on our storage needs. Outstanding customer service! She was patient, informative and professional. I would recommend her highly to my friends and family."
"The employees that I spoke with on the phone were courteous, pleasant and sounded like they are happy to working at LifeStorage. The covered loading area is fantastic. The app to onlock the unit and the map are innovative. Overall exceeded my expectations!"
"Had a great experience! The technology is great, the place is clean and Josh was the nicest, most patient customer service representative I have ever encountered. I was bracing myself for an annoyed person when we showed up minutes before closing, but Josh was unfazed and treated us like we were family making sure he answered all our questions without trying to rush us out the door. Truly service with a smile:)"
"This was the best storage experience I've ever had! I can't rave about it enough. The process was so organized and efficient, the workers were so friendly and helpful, and the storage unit itself smelled amazing and was super clean. I usually don't write reviews but I had such a positive experience I just had to share. I recommend this storage unit to anybody looking in Gainesville!"
"To begin with, this place had amazing rates for the month that I needed the storage. Everything was air conditioned and electronically controlled. There was no set of keys for me to lose! Karen, the store manager, was extremely helpful and made the process super simple. 10/10 recommend!!"
"We recently rented a unit to faciliate our child's upcoming move to UF. The staff has been extremely helpful with setting up our rental and walking us through how to arrange to have packages delivered. Thanks again Cameron and Josh! They have been so helpful and a pleasure to work with. Having packages delivered is a great benefit of this location and we were able to make all arrangements remotely. The app is also intuitive to use. Glad we found this place."
"Terrible, just absolutely terrible.
Staff broke my unit door after the unit was full. Still is not fixed. Just terrible.
Josh Wonder is unprofessional and is and does not represent Life Storage in a positive way."
"We needed a storage facility while we prepare to move. Lifestorage is a fairly new storage facility here in Gainesville Fl. We’ll, one look and we decided they had all the things we wanted including a great monthly fee. They are completely automated. No padlocks, no codes to remember, just an app that lets you in, the app opens the elevator for your floor only and there are plenty of carts. The app even opens and locks your storage room. But I was really impressed with the little things like the scented plugins along each corridor. It’s clean and there is a roof where you park so no issues with rain! And Kameron, the site manager is great! Highly recommend!!"
"The staff were extremely friendly and helpful! The unit is also VERY secure and they take every measure possible to make sure that your stuff is taken care of, while also remaining cost efficient. Would definitely recommend this place!"
"I had my unit for about 10 months and have had a wonderful experience. It's clean and air conditioned. Everything is done through the App which is awesome because you don't have to keep track of keys etc. Customer service is great!! I highly recommend this storage unit. Way different than any other storage unit facility."
"Amazing. The people working there are so nice and well informed. Everything is super clean. It’s very secure and high tech. I highly recommend it. I never post reviews but this experience was genuinely so nice and positive I had to."
"Kameron and Josh are great! They are both very professional and inviting. The facility is very clean and accessibility/payment is very easy through the phone application. Keep up the good work and I will definitely recommend your facility to friends and family in need of storage. ~ Thank you!"
"The cleanliness of the entire property is outstanding. I appreciate the ease of use..being able to use my phone to enter the gate. I always felt like my belongings were looked after with care."
"This was a five star experience. Josh and Kameron were professional, helpful, and very nice! The technology was very easy to use. This was probably the best customer service I have received. Highly recommended!"
"We recently moved all of our storage units to Life Storage and we're thrilled to have done so. The convenience is amazing, the security and technology (app) is impressive and their customer service is priceless! It's a pleasure to trust Life Storage with our property!"
"5 star all the way here. Friendly staff, Affordable rates. The technology is awesome and the app is very easy to use. Highly recommend if your in the Gainesville area and need a storage unit, this is the place to be."
"They are super annoying and very expensive. They will call you so many times trying to get you to buy there storage. You barley have time to think about it."
"I needed a storage unit on short notice! I searched multiple places in Gainesville however, my luck ran short b/c it was Saturday and most places closed between 4/5pm. One place l went to basically closed the door in my face🙄.... So, as l was in the walmart parking lot, l made one last attempt and came across LIFE STORAGE! I Called at 4:45pm and they welcomed me with open arms! Even, though they closed at 5pm. They were willing to wait for me to get there! Such great customer service and patience!! Not too mention a great special they currently have that placed the icing on the cake!!! Thanks for being awesome! I normally don't do reviews but their customer service was awesome and l wanted to give them a shout out! Thanks, again! And Happy Holidays❤"
"Having stored at most of the facilities in the area, can easily claim this facility as the best by far. Friendly staff, great units, truly climate controlled."
"1st time LSI renter; previously rented units from three other companies. LSI has the best mobile phone app bluetooth auto gate control, best sign up/sign out, best month-to-month without long-term lease. Toll-free national number was used to smoothly prearrange rental even before arriving.
Will seek out and rent from LSI again next time I need a unit or parking.
This is a new Life Storage (LSI) location with friendly accommodating staff. The units are clean, interior lighting auto turn-on, grounds well-maintained and fenced, good location. Good for vehicle/trailer/RV storage."
"I stopped in to price check and Josh showed me around the new facility. Very nice, secure place!! Thanks Josh! I'll call ya when I'm ready to move in!"
"I stopped in to grab a couple boxes so that i could finish packing up my apartment, Joshua and Kameron were very helpful and friendly. If i need storage in the future im definetly going to Life Storage."
"Even though this storage place is not the most centrally located, it is still very well designed and maintained.
The loading area is inside the storage building where your vehicle can enter, so you do not need to worry about bad weather when moving your stuff. The main gate, elevator, and locker units are all controlled by a mobile app, and only people with legitimate access can enter, so in general it is safe. It’s also convenient in a sense that you can access the units during after hours (6a -10p I believe). Inside the storage building, the storage spaces are dry, clean, and temp is AC controlled at about 75 F.
Overall it was a very positive experience. Would return in the future if I need storage space."
"Storage facilities are numerous, especially in Gainesville, FL where the community is largely transient, however, I had to take a minute to acknowledge the customer service I received from the manager Kameron Bishop. I called the national sales center for a trailer space lease and the sales rep said no problem and offered me an introductory deal but to finalize I had to visit the local facility. I went within a couple days and the facility is brand new state-of-the-art. Great security and technology. I was disappointed to know that the deal offered to me over the national call line wasn't being offered at this particular facility. I reluctantly moved forward with the lease being in a bind. Another request I had was to enter the facility earlier than their normal hours based on the nature of my business. Unlike most managers out there and the service industry in general, Kameron went to bat for me. She called her executives to gain me early access and it was granted. When she called to share that news with me I told her I had made a call to national sales about the miscommunication on the introductory offer that I still hadn't heard back on. Kameron went to bat for me again on her own time. This time she called back with more good news that she got them to honor the introductory offer. It would have been easy for Kameron to tend to new sales and leases, tend to the needs of new customers and do what I would have fully expected someone in similar positions to do which was not make another persons mistake become her problem. She did the opposite and for that, I recommend supporting this business in full. Lease here without any concerns. Tell your friends about Kameron Bishop."
"This brand new storage facility is much better than what I’ve used in the past. The call center and office staff were great and helpful. I was really most impressed with the amenities. It has a drive thru the building so you can unload and load out of the rain. It also has a smart phone app to control facility and unit access, and it lets you share digital keys with family and or employees! Staff explained they also have 24/7 monitoring of the security cameras that lets them talk to intruders about the cops being on their way to keep my belongings safe. There’s no other facility like it in Gainesville! I highly recommend Life Storage to anyone needing a secure, safe, clean place to store their belongings."
"We needed a storage unit for our college age son who was in between apartments. This facility is brand new, clean, has every convenience needed including carts for loading and unloading,and an app based entry. The staff was friendly, patient and welcoming. Would highly recommend!!!!"
"I have 6 units here currently, so that kind of says it all. I have other units around town, and this is by far my favorite srorage facility. Convenient phone access (and it actually works well and quick), bith managers and employees alike really do care and are very attentive to any needs.
Not to mention, it's brand new, so the facility is in tip-top shape. Proper insulation/rain protection/bug control/no mold.
Would highly recommend."
"The customer service here is absolutely amazing! They made sure everything I needed with move-in was a success and the move out process was the most smooth I've ever experienced. They deserve a reward for their service!"
"Great new facility, very clean and secure. Josh and Kameron are friendly and knowledgeable, caring and professional who help you meet your storage needs by finding the right solution for you at a competitive price."
"We were helping some friends move to Arizona and stopped in for some boxes, what a clean a super friendly environment. I was surprised by the customer service, the lady (I think she was the manager) was super sweet! If we lived there, I would definitely rent space there."
"I saw that Life Storage had a new building and I was curious about what it looked like and wanted to get a quote. Kameron was very professional and friendly to say the least. She explained everything well and I am impressed with the state of the art facility. Truly steps above the competition."
"We were extremely impressed by how clean and organized this storage facility is. Easily accessible with a welcoming staff member. Conveniently provides a built in electronic lock that is activated by your smart phone. First month was free! This is the perfect storage facility."
"Josh and Kameron were so helpful! The facility is clean, staff is clearly friendly and knowledgeable, and the prices are more than fair. The location is great, too. Couldn’t recommend this place more!"
