"This storage is amazing. I absolutely love it. Eric who manages the place is awesome. He is so Courteous, Kind and welcoming. I have another storage unit elsewhere but I’m switching to this place. 5 star all the way for the facility and Eric."
"Erick was very friendly and helpful, gave us a great deal. This building is extremely clean. Everything seems to be brand new. By far the coolest and nicest storage unit I’ve been to. I love the drive in option, that way you are in AC while loading/unloading. There are plenty of clean carts to use as well. Elevators are very clean, and large."
"If you need a storage unit, i highly recommend coming here. The building looks brand new and is very well maintained with a wonderful staff. Gabby, the manager here, is absolutely phenomenal to work with and made the enrollment process super easy and enjoyable. Definitely an A+ storage company."
"Gabby is amazing!!! Moving can be so stressful but she was wonderful and made it so easy for me!! Loved working with her in getting myself a unit! Thank you Gabby!"
"I was in dire need of storage and I walked in to this location and Gabby was such help she showed me a couple of options and now I just need to make my mind up on what I need. She gave me a tour of the place it is immaculate and well secured. I will be back to this place to move my things in and I really recommend this place great customer service from the staff."
"If you are looking for an easy to use, safe, clean, and updated storage facility, look no further! This is the best storage facility I have ever used. The building looks very nice as you drive up, the facility itself is so well kept. You can drive your vehicle inside in order to get what you need. There are carts available to use as well as a moving truck for free in a certain timeframe. Most of all, Gabby the manager was always attentive and helpful. I had deliveries sent to the storage unit and they accepted and carefully put in my unit. I even had an issue with a missing package and they helped as much as they could. Would use again 100% and would probably travel even a distance to use this storage facility."

"This particular Life Storage is amazing! (E Gold Dust Location) Gabby is so friendly and helpful! Every single time I go in that she is there, she greats me and we end up talking. She went above and beyond when I initially moved in and then again when I changed to a different sized unit. The place is always spotlessly clean, great temperature, clean restrooms, and very friendly other staff. Great amenities, super easy layout, and plenty of space to load and unload vehicles. Plus the elevators and corridors are big enough/wide enough, that getting your stuff to and from the unit is always easy. 10/10 recommend!"
"Joseph was so incredibly helpful. I have never had a storage unit before and he was so patient with me. I would recommend this location solely off his customer service and how clean and functional the property was."
"Joe was by far the best person to work with. Not only did he do a great job at explaining things he went above and beyond to make sure we go the best deal."
"Gabby & Joe were so helpful when I showed up asking for storage needed for boxes in my trunk. They both went out of their way to accommodate me and make it as easy as possible. If not for them, I don’t know what I would have done. I recommend LifeStorage for all your storage needs. The professional service from Joe & Gabby couldn’t have been better."
"I would highly recommend LifeStorage on Gold Dust Avenue in Scottsdale. The facility is very clean and well maintained. I never felt uncomfortable with the level of security provided and the drive in feature is a definite plus. Gabby and Joe from Lifestorage were absolutely amazing. They are always willing to go above and beyond to assist with extra needs or in our case adding and vacating different units multiple times. I also felt that the pricing of the units was extremely reasonable for the high level of service. Do not hesitate to trust this facility with your belongings. We are so pleased with our experience!!!"
"I am new to Arizona and chose Lifetime Storage based on location. What I learned was that this facility is the nicest most well kept storage facility I have ever had the pleasure to use both Gabby and Joseph have gone above and beyond to make my experience pleasant. I spent most of the day there today when movers unloaded the contents of a one bedroom apartment into a 10x15 unit. Gabby and Joseph offered me and the movers water on multiple occasions, assisted with unloading an elevator and appeared to know many of the occupants by name! The facility is clean, the bathrooms were what you would expect in a quality hotel and my experience has gone above and beyond my expectations. Thank you for the incredible service!!"
"Joseph was friendly, funny and made us feel right at home🤗 Rented our new storage unit and happy to be part of the family😃 Telling all of my clients, of this beautiful facility 😊👍🏼"
"Loved renting from here, Joe was the best! Super helpful throughout my whole time there, and went the extra mile to help with whatever I needed. Highly recommend if you’re in the market for a safe and reliable storage facility!"
"Joe S has been a tremendous help during my elongated move. From assigning more units to helping move items into the units and provide supplies he has surpassed the bar. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a facility to store items in."
"Joseph was amazing! We had issues at another store and Joseph went above and beyond to help us! I would recommend a company who has excellent customer service like this one!! Thank you for saving our day!!"
"Life Storage on Gold Dust in Scottsdale is awesome. So easy to work with, very professional and the place could not be any more clean. You could eat off of the floors."
"This facility is amazing. The Associate Store Manager, Joseph S., has been unflaggingly helpful. He helped me find a great unit that didn’t break my budget. The facility is spotless. The drive-in access is a lifesaver for all us in HotZona! Stop wasting your time elsewhere, and run don’t walk to this LifeStorage. If you can’t get there, Joseph can set you up for an online enrollment!"
"Gabby is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST !!! I really liked her and she’s so personal.. It’s fun and exciting good place for all your memorable belongings!
I had a real experience driving the truck too !! I do hope to see them again !!
Thanks for all your help as you made everything a breeze !!"
"Fortunate to have found this spacious, well organized, and unbelievably immaculate storage facility. Gabby has been so helpful during this time. Moves are always difficult and unpredictable; but she has gone out of her way to make things quite a bit easier. Thank you!!"
"Incredible! Both agents, Gabby and the Val could not have been more professional and knowledgeable Coupled with a pristine facility made this my ideal for a storage partner. Can not recommend Life Storage more. Give them a visit."
"This may be the most wonderful storage experience we have ever had. Thanks to the manager a thousand times for understanding how to provide stellar customer service that went above and beyond any previous experience with other sub-par storage businesses."
"This facility is immaculate and Gabby who assisted me with securing my storage unit was very polite and helpful. I recommend this storage facility to anyone. It’s impeccable and accessible."
"We concur with the earlier comments of posters about how wonderful this location and its employees are. Gabby is our go to person when it comes to needing storage units. She assisted us with securing another storage unit in the north valley and was the first person contacted when a second unit was needed. She is always there for the customer and will go out of the way when additional information or clarification is needed. We actually look forward to going to the unit to store more stuff but more importantly to visit Gabby!!! Please convey to Gabby our sincere gratitude for her assistance, professionalism, and old fashioned customer service. This location is blessed to have Gabby as its manager. Way to go Gabby!!!"
"It's hard to put into words on this amazing experience and top notch service I was provided by a outstanding representative Joseph! He definitely went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and earned my loyalty as a customer of the company for life!"
"Ron at life storage is the OG on my momma. My man had me in quick and speedy and had that paperwork nice and teady. Could not have been happier with their service"
"I have rented in different Life Storages and this location is just amazing the service is great and the place is nice and clean Gabby and her team do an amazing job taking care of their customers always gives me water while im in my there moving things around. I would give this place more than 5 stars just amazing."
"Moved from Cali , and this storage facility has the greatest team members I’ve ever worked with. Specifically , Joseph.He was able to assist me with an issue I was having with another customer. This place is 100% safe because of employees like him , and the staff at life storage."
"Gabriela Gonzales, is a 5 plus star on customer service. Thank YOU very much! Moving is very hard and tiring, but this manager Gabriela Gonzales with her good attitude and knowledge made my day easy the minute I walked in her store. She is very welcoming. God bless her!"
"Ron is just terrific! I had the hours mixed up and arrived at closing time. Ron went above and beyond, let me in to complete the paperwork and assigned a unit. He was so accommodating and kind! Its the cleanest facility and the staff is just great!"
"July 2020 I decided to downsize my living space. I was hesitant to store any of my belongings due to my past history with storage companies. I've had all my furniture stolen from a company in California. I walked into Life Storage on Gold Dust without much desire to store at this facility. After meeting Gabby, a delightful young lady, I felt comfortable taking a self guided tour. I have happily been with Life Storage now for 6 months. Joe the Manager at this facility is amazing. Nothing short of pure professionalism. I fact, my experience has been so wonderful that I've decided to rent a Life Storage unit in Nashville for my daughters dorm room items. No need to inquire elsewhere. This is home."
"I wish I could really I could put into words the experience I have had here. Five stars is really nothing compared to how kind, caring, and understanding the entire team was. From Alex that I spoke to in the back office to make my reservation to Michael, who helped me get everything put together.
This review is specifically for Michael though, I think he was on loan from another store, and it must have been a gift from God that he was there when I got there.
This gentleman literally listened to me tell him my whole crazy story about why we were moving, offered some advice, and then just even had great conversation during my entire experience.
He was very fast, super knowledgable, and just created a welcoming experience for me. I was nervous because it was my first time ever renting a storage unit and he made it very simple and helped as much as he could.
I hope I get to see him again at our location before we move out, but I wanted to ensure that this facility (which is also brilliantly designed) got the commendation it deserves."
"Just wanted to say thank you to Gabby, Joe, and especially Sandy. Even while dealing with a rude customer Sandy got me my unit and guided me through everything so easily. Will be using your stores in the future for sure."
"I have had a great experience Gabby was amazing she made sure I was taken care of she is a great asset to the company she just has the best customer service"
"This place is amazing and Gabby and Lacy where just amazing. Place is spotless as soon as you walk in they greet you and make you feel welcome. This is the place to store. #lifestorage # greatcustomerservice"
"I've never had a terrible storage experience, but until I tried Life Storage, I hadn't had an outstanding one, either! This facility was built recently and is sparkling clean - from the bathrooms, to the storage floors (which they keep mopped - even in the units!). The indoor, air conditioned loading zone is top-notch. I always felt safe and trusted that my belongings were, too! I only stayed for a month because it made more sense for me to use a facility closer to DTPHX, and I was SAD to go! I never thought I would be sad to leave a storage unit LOL.
Gabby and the staff are remarkable - they take care of their customers. When I came in to fill out paperwork, I was offered water and discounted moving materials. While moving in on a hot AZ afternoon, my husband, our friend and I were again given cold bottled water. They are honest, straightforward, and incredibly kind. Thank you, Life Storage Gold Dust! I would recommend it to anyone!"
"I have stored my stuff in many different Storage Unit places over the years and Life Storage is by far the friendliest, the cleanest, and the best well-kept Storage Unit I’ve ever seen. I only have amazing things to say.
You can drive your car in, it’s air-conditioned, they greet you with water at the door, and they have security cameras everywhere. Your stuff will be safe and happy inside! Highly recommend this place. Never going anywhere else."
"Everyone was so kind and courteous. Val and her team went above and beyone to make sure I had an adequate storage space and that all the paperwork was done properly.
I have rented storage space in the past, however, this was such a pleasant experience, I will only recommend Life Storage (and specifically this location) to others."
"The manager Terrance was very professional and helpful especially when I was already having a stressful day! He made my move smooth and swift! Definitely will be doing business again! Great Staff!!"
"Gabby explained all there is to know about Life Storage. She was quick, precise and very helpful! I appreciate the way she greeted each guest that walked in even as she was helping me. The storage facility is awesome! I highly recommend Life Storage in Scottsdale and Gold Dust!"
"Our experience at life storage was great. We had to find a storage locker fast because we were moving and they found a storage place that was just a couple blocks away from where we were moving. They booked our reservation we came in and met with Val. She was excellent!! She got our paperwork done quickly, she showed us our unit, and she was extremely friendly and efficient. The place was clean the locker was in great shape. I would recommend life storage on Gold Dust Scottsdale for anybody that’s looking to store some items. They also gave us a free month and the cost of our locker was very reasonable!"
"My experience at Life Storage has been wonderful. From the moment I booked my space online the customer service has been top notch. Gabby is so kind and professional. The staff is courteous. The facility is very clean and well managed. Life Storage takes the time to make sure you are taken care of. For example as I was moving my items from the moving truck into my unit I came back to the truck to get another load and was surprised to see a staff member had placed 2 bottles of water on the back of the moving truck for myself and friend helping me move."
"This place is GREAT - strongly recommend. The facility is new, clean, and has easy access (3 huge elevators - if you are not on the main floor) and wide hallways to the storage units. The staff (Including Gabby) are constantly working/cleaning around the facility to keep it looking it's very best. When we had our movers there unloading - they brought out waters to each of them - which was very kind, since it was 110 degrees that day. The cooled unloading bays are a great idea, and something that every facility should have (suggestion - next time raise the doors by 12 inches so the box trucks can get in). We had historically used another chain for our storage needs and were skeptical about changing - but we will not be going back after the experience we have had with Life Storage."
"Gabby and Val were so wonderful. They were very attentive and great help when moving into and out of the unit. When I need another storage unit I will be back here for certain!"
"My husband and I wish to acknowledge three people and two different locations at Life Storage. First, and foremost, we must acknowledge Val at storage location# 8401. She immediately made us feel comfortable and proceeded to find us the perfect storage unit, based on our estimated need. There was no question that she could not answer and when we mentioned that we were looking for help moving, she provided us with the name of a moving company that is often seen moving people in and out of this location. She even made sure that we had well-chilled bottles of water to keep us hydrated during our move-in. Val is an excellent first experience with Life Storage!
We also want to acknowledge Gabby (sp?) at #8401 and Shaundra (sp?) at #782.
Gabby is a sweetheart, just like Val, and was tremendously helpful, as well. She was patient and kind and even stayed a little late to assist us with securing a second storage unit after we realized that we miscalculated on the size unit we actually needed.
Shaundra, at storage location #782, assisted us with leasing a 14' box truck and gave us the name of a moving company that she is personally familiar with and trusts to be reliable and fair.
We wish to comment on the appearance and cleanliness of both locations. We found both to be immaculate, modern, and secure. Location #8401 opened in April and is an impressive building! Our experience with Life Storage, thus far, has been very positive and we would highly recommend these two locations and three wonderful, professional, and friendly Life Storage associates to anyone seeking climate-controlled storage facilities in the Scottsdale area."
"Very clean and great customer service. Gabbie was VERY helpful and so sweet. Will definitely use this storage facility anytime I need to store my items in the future!"
"This facility speaks volumes for how well Life Storage pays attention to their customers. Everything was exactly as it should be. but to top it off I had a very pleasant experience with the staff during the initial purchase of my unit! Gabby was extremely professional is very thoughtful and extremely diligent. I wish all encounters with customer service representative of any sort where exactly like this encounter! Thank you buy storage for making it so pleasant to get a storage unit you made my day"
"This place is fantastic!! Super nice facility that is brand new the rates are reasonable and they have many different options the manager Gabby was super professional and very happy to explain the different options and work suited my family best. I would recommend them every day!!"
"Best place in Scottsdale really handy location that is brand new the rates are reasonable and the facility is super clean and tidy!! Gabby the manager was super professional and answered all my questions and even showed me around the facility with different options
Available. Super friendly experience!!!"
"I have used storage many times but this place is just amazing Gabby was so helpful she gave me a tour of the facility and made the move as easy as possible in and out with all the information needed. This storage facility is so clean and you can drive in to the facility just amazing. If you are looking for storage this is the place for you."

"This place is top notch. The customer service was above and beyond. Gabby ensured that my storage unit was ready upon my arrival to Scottsdale. She also gave me detailed instructions on all of the processes. I am so glad I chose this location to store my things and really appreciate the great customer service. You don’t get that kind of service nowadays and am so thankful I chose Life Storage."
"Val and Gabby are amazing!!! I needed storage for just a couple of weeks and they showed me several units to help me figure out what I can do. Their customer service is awesome, not to mention the cleanliness of this place. Highly recommended!!!"
"Very pleasant staff. From my arrival until completion of my moving they guided and assisted me in smooth transition to store all my furnitures.
Great location and accessibility.
I highly recommend life storage.
Sam F MD"
