"Wonderfully ran and well kept by a genuine human being...
I chose this location due to its proximity to my house, however, I would have picked this location as my primary storage even if I lived across the Valley due to the amazing individual who manages it. Charles stopped in the middle of his lunch break to help me reserve a unit--he was incredibly kind, helpful and truly made me feel like a valued customer from the get-go. Every visit to this store has been a pleasure as it is incredibly well kept, clean and professionally managed--and as an added bonus, Charles is the type of individual who can light up your day with a smile. I would strongly recommend this location or any other that Charles manages--not only will you get thee best customer service whilst provided the feeling that you simply chose a great place for storage, but you will have the opportunity to meet this wonderful human."
"My best friend has a unit there and I helped her move her items. Charles was great, showed us all about the storage facility and merchandise available. He went above and beyond his duty. Thank you Charles."
"I have 3 storage units and Charles is amazing. He is truly a class act when it comes to customers and taking care of all of us. I have 3 units and each one has been amazing and he is always thinking of logistics for future. I can count on Charles for a laugh, a smile or when having a bad day a quick chat. He always has time for his customers and I am glad he manages the property I use for my small business storage needs. All my units were clean and Charles has also been helpful with his time.
I appreciate Charles so much."
"I used Life Storage on Alma School in Scottsdale for 7 months. Charles Brumley was GREAT. He was helpful in getting our unit set up last July, showing me how to use the lock and the second entrance which was much closer to my unit. When we decided to move our goods out of the unit, he explained the monthly prorate policy which helped me save a few hundred dollars. He is very customer focused providing excellent customer service - always a smile and always willing to help."
"I never would have imagined a storage place could be so pristine! Add to that truly professional customer service (yes, Charles still knows what customer service is), better-than-expected prices and a convenient, safe location and this becomes the only reasonable choice. As a rule, I don't leave reviews but Charles and this Life Storage location near Troon deserve accolades."
"I’ve been using Life Storage on and off for over a year. Clean, safe, and friendly staff. Charles seems to always be there with a smile and friendly hello."
"This has been such an amazing storage unit to utilize for storage of vehicles, items, and even getting mail. I have used it for several years now. I high recommend it. Charles is wonderful to work with and goes above and beyond for the customers."
"We worked with Charles, the store manager. He was awesome to work with. He ensured we had all of the necessary information to reserve and secure the unit properly. He made it an easy process!"
"Thank you, Charles, for making the move and storage experience the best it could be! Your facility is immaculate and I’m so happy to work with you. Thank you so much for all of your help!"
"Great place to store things!! Extremely clean, safe, and has the best staff! Charles is always so nice and friendly! Would recommend 100% recommend to anyone needing storage"
"Charles the manager is the absolute BEST! He has created a real community with all the tenants. Knows everyone by name and is always there to greet you with a smile. He makes swinging by storage fun part of my day!"
"Probably one of the best storage experiences available in Arizona. I’m from Chicago and was looking for a reputable company to trust.
Charles was so helpful, provided great service, knowledgable and friendly. He took the time to help me with my account and streamline my move out process. I’ve worked with other storage companies and this is by far the most personalized and customer focused."
"Today I had a top tier storage experience. Charles at this location 26520 N Alma School Road in Scottsdale was attentive, friendly and knowledgable.
Coordinating large items in and out is stressful but he made the process easy! Excited to use Life Storage again and hope to work with Charles again."
"I have rented two storage units, a POBox and had documents shredded. Charles is the best. Highly recommend this storage facility. Clean, well lit, accessible and friendly service"
"Life storage on Alma School in Scottsdale is the ultimate place to store anything. It’s extremely clean, well protected, and well managed. Charles is extremely helpful, professional and personable. He is an asset to this company.
The units are easily assessable. It would not be possible to find a better situation."
"We only left 'Life-Storage' at Alma School in Scottsdale because we left the City....Life-Storage was everything we could have asked for,,,,
Of SPECIAL note, 'CHARLES', the Manager, is OUTSTANDING....professional, very personable and very knowledgeable....an important ASSET to Life-Storage.
Thank You For Asking.
Brian"
"I have a storage unit here. Last night I was in the unit and it was extremely hot making it very uncomfortable for me and the 3 people helping me to load up some things. We all were sweating 🥵 like crazy. It is advertised as air conditioned but believe me it was barely tolerable. It is a nice setup but please turn up the air-conditioning!!!"
"Charles was fantastic at finding the right unit and best deal. The facility was always very clean and everyone very helpful. I wish all aspects of moving were easy and helpful as our experience with Life Storage."
"We needed a storage unit for the next day and Charles was my hero! Everything went so smooth and our family can now take the time to go through our parents leftover furniture on our own time. Life Storage and Charles made it easy!"
"We had heard time and again what a special place Life Storage was...and after meeting Charles and Kelly we realized why. They both embody all the values of a good business...a passionate concern for every customer and all their needs. This place is 5 Star Plus!"
"Charles is amazing and provides great customer service. He is very personable and helped out diligently with the storage rental process to make sure we were happy and we were getting what we wanted/needed. He is an asset to the company. In addition the storage facility is always neat, clean and presentable! Great place!"
"When planning a location change from Nevada to Scottsdale, I initially discussed our 'move' and the need for excess storage space over the 'phone with Charles at this location.....His welcoming personality and space suggestions helped make our subsequent move 'seamless'. Charles is a major asset.
Since we started using the space, everything has been handled excellently. The facility is well-located for North Scottsdale residents and is very well maintained; easy to navigate within the building; and has a secure and safe atmosphere.....We are very satisfied clients of Life Storage."
"Charles, the store manager, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He did everything possible to make sure our needs were accomplished. His units are very clean and he takes pride in his operation. Thanks Charles."
"Reported a problem with a timer for a light in my space three times, no resolution. Light just turns off after about 4 minutes and you are in the dark. Can't be safe!!"
"I highly recommend life storage on Alma School Road . They are the BEST. They did a great job facilitating a large home of furniture to their storage units and it all went very smoothly. Kelly and Richard were efficient and very professional and observed all COVID safety protocol. They made the most unpleasant move to a great experience."
"My family had a space here for years and was always treated with respect and welcomed with a smile. Super clean facilities, friendly staff, and Charles, in particular, always went above and beyond. When I had some extenuating family circumstances, time and again, Charles worked with me for the best possible solutions. I couldn't recommend a place more highly!"
"First rate facility. Clean, well lit and great access. The customer service from current manager Charles and previous manager Calla is excellent. They are professional, helpful and always willing to help you in any way possible. Highly recommend"
"Very impressive! Neat, clean, well managed and friendly staff. Temperature controlled for the Arizona summers. Indoor loading bay for trucks and trailers. Definitely recommend this location for short or long term storage."
"This is the best storage facility I've used. I had my "extra" items stored for 1 1/2 years and my son just moved here from the NW and also had his items stored. The day he was ready to moved we had made one trip - load a large trailer and came back for the last load (drive time 1 hour) to his new location. AND he left the storage unit key at his new home...this is where the amazing customer service started. Calla Winkler, store manager, said she could drill out his lock...turned out it was not an easy task. She spent 1 1/2 hours working...working...working with her drill. Never gave up, apologized to us that it was taking too long and was finally successful. She is positive, willing to help, pleasant to work with - the best. The facility is very clean, well managed, and temperature controlled. Thank you Life Storage for hiring the best Store Manager ever!!!"
"We have been using Life Storage for the lat 2 years and they are the best! They have always been very helpful and responsive with any questions and we highly recommend them as a partner for your self storage needs."
"This Life Storage location is always neat and clean, and it's so conveniently located for us! The manager, Calla, is extremely friendly and always helpful. She goes above and beyond to be of assistance. I highly recommend this place for all your storage needs!!"
"Life Storage is a clean,modern, seemingly safe, climate controlled storage location in north Scottsdale. The staff are excellent. The reason for giving only three stars is the cost, which constantly increases. The frequency of price increases in a relatively inflation-free time is shocking and a reason for customers to look elsewhere before moving into Life Storage."
"Purchased a storage unit online the experience was great and the facility was very clean. I have also had to deal with the staff on various occasions and they are always pleasant to work with."
"Life Storage is great! Convenient for our location but also convenient hours and very accessible. Calla is very good with a warm friendly smile whenever you see her! Highly recommend!"
"Life Storage is the best! I've been a customer for over five years since Desert Storage days. There have been some policy changes from Desert to Life Storage, but still a well-run operation. At this location, the Manager, Calla, is professional, efficient, has a pleasant demeanor and always willing to assist. She will do above and beyond what is expected. The whole staff is like that.... Kelly has helped me so many times! She is professional, cheerful, competent in whatever she does for you. This is a Dream Team. I hope they never leave this location. I recommend Life Storage highly without hesitation."

"Spotless, clean, safe! This is the nicest storage facility I have seen and the management team is incredibly helpful and friendly. Great access areas make it so easy to move in and out of."
"I recently had to add a second storage unit at the Life Storage off Alma School in Scottsdale. This facility couldn't be cleaner and Calla is amazing. She was extremely professional, helpful and did everything possible to make this situation work for me and my endless parade of "treasures".The customer service she extends is above and beyond."
"We just cleaned out our storage unit at Life Storage south of Dynamite on Alma School Rd. It was such a pleasure having our furniture and boxes there for the past 2 years because the place is clean, well maintained and the office personnel were so nice to work with. It was important for us to have our treasures in a climate-controlled space and to feel comfortable and safe visiting it any time of the day."
"Calla truly is on top of everything. Moving is stressful at best but when you walk into the office a calm takes over - Calla's there. The facility is top-notch, clean and secure. A great experience!"
"I needed a short term short term storage solution and worked with Calla. She answered all of my questions and really took the time give me the VALUE I was paying for. Thanks!"
"I have nothing but positives to relay to the world!!! Kelly was so efficient, and my transaction was completed in minutes! The facility is spotless. It'is simply effortless and secure to "move" articles in and out of the unit.
No one enjoys moving. It's emotionally and physically draining. But this is one stellar business!!!!
And, an update to share: yesterday I was unable to lift two boxes into my vehicle or out of the unit. Kelly and Calle just happened to walk into the parking garage and I asked if they knew of someone I could hire to help me. Those two angels went back down to my unit and muscled those two very heavy boxes onto the cart and into my car!!!! I was near tears. Such human kindness and compassion is not present every day, and I will never forget their gesture!!!!!
I just can't say enough about the quality and kindness of Life Storage both as a business and as a wonderful human connection with my two new friends. Thank you SO SO much!!!!!!!"
"Five stars seems insufficient ! The property is spotless. The units are spotless. The business office is more efficient and knowledgeable than most business Ive dealt with in my (long) life. I feel safe there while shuffling boxes during my unexpected move. And.........drum roll please.......the two gals, Kelly and Calle (spelling forgiveness please) are simply dears, and jumped to my rescue when I couldnt lift two boxes. Now THAT is customer service and just plain human kindness. I was near tears of gratitude....its hard to find that level of compassion in todays crazy world. I highly HIGHLY recommend Life Storage Scottsdale. Thank you !!"
"Life Storage #787
26520 N Alma School Rd is by far the best storing company. The manager Calla Winkler and her Associate Kelly are so helpful and dedicated to excellent customer service which made the stressful, unpleasant move to a tolerable and pleasant experience. I highly recommend this outstanding customer service oriented storage facility."
"These folks do a great job...very clean, great customer service and no nonsense, ease of use sign up and exit process. A pleasure. We will use them again in the Spring for next Summer storage."
"This is one of the best storage facilities we've ever used. It was always clean, well-lighted and well secured. Calla, the store manager, is one of the friendliest people you've ever met. If you have to have a storage facility, this is the place you want to be.

"Began using Life Storage in September to store excess items from the house and help declutter. The entire process -- from reviewing available units to discussing prices and options to accessing the site - has been smooth and hassle-free. The available hours and loading dock make it convenient for me to pop in and drop items off. The staff has been most friendly and helpful as well."
"We are moving to Arizona and using Life Storage #787 on Alma School Road. Cala is great to work with and so accommodating to any of our requests. The facility is clean and in a safe location. We would highly recommend this location for storage needs."
"The facility is very, very well kept and staff are friendly and helpful. Totally meets my needs with elevator, carts and great temperature control. Recommended."
"Calle, the manager at the location was so helpful and professional. She made sure we had water while we moved our belongings into the unit and couldn't be more gracious. She is a true asset to your company. I give her a 10 plus..."
"Thank you for making it such an easy process. Loved getting everything set up with Calla and she is always so friendly to talk to when I would go in and have questions as well."
"Our small company was getting rid of bags and bags, boxes and tubs and all needed to be shredded. Calla Winkler was most helpful and our confidential documents are all safely in place for shredding. Great service! Thank you!"
"First class storage facility with outstanding service!! Calla goes above and beyond in making sure one's experience at the facility is a positive one. Highly recommend!!"
"I've used self storage facilities in different locations over the years and Life Storage 787 is by far best, starting with Calla in the office to the clean and very convenient facility. Near my home was my reason, but now that's way down the lost of the positives here."
"As all other reviews I can only say we are so pleased with facility and Calla is so helpful and keeps the place spotless. As we were leaving the facility earlier today she came out to our car with bottles of cold water for my husband and me. Where else do you have service with a heart? If you have storage needs this is THE place to come!
Thank you, Calla!"

"This is a five star facility. Always clean, well kept and there is plenty of parking and easy access. Calla has been very helpful and always friendly with a smile. I'm totally happy with my experience here."

"I stopped into Life Storage to purchase a few boxes. They didnt have the size of box I needed for sale, but Thomas was so helpful, and found a box on the premises that suited my needs. Very helpful and kind."
"We loved how clean and efficient this storage facility was. Thank you Calla! The wine storage is wonderful also, we highly recommend this Life Storage and will continue to use it."
"Calla is a great manager of this facility. She was very helpful and keeps the whole 3 stories neat and clean. She responds quickly to be helpful . I would definitely recommend Life Storage for good climate controlled storage, even the wine storage bins are perfect."
"Let me preface this review with I've been a customer of this facility since 2015 when it was Desert Storage. I've come and gone of course and since, it's been taken over by Life Storage. As I'm a long term storage-er I get to know the managers pretty well (Be nice to the people who keep your stuff safe). Currently, Calla has been great. She's efficient, nice, and welcoming. She opens the door for you if she sees you're coming in with a cart so you don't have to type your code with your hands full. The facility is kept clean and cool. I recommend this storage facility to anyone with any storage needs. Desert Storage always felt like a family run company so Life Storage does feel a bit more corporate but Calla makes it easy so big business doesn't complicate your life even further!"
