"Amazing service and very helpful. Ken the manager went above and beyond to help me with my storage reservation. Very clean and safe would highly recommend!"
"Avoid this place at all cost! It's such a headache dealing with them, and prices go up without warning on a regular basis.
RATS ATE THROUGH EVERYTHING IN MY UNIT & ITS SUCH A HASSLE DEALING WITH INSURANCE. I still haven't gotten an answer for my claim! There was no food or perishables, yet there were rat poop and urine all over as well as holes in all out things.
Today I came and they changed my lock! Everything on paid for and they auto take payment out, and I tried calling customer service and no answer even on their 24-hour line! This is ridiculous! Locked out of my own storage and no answer from anyone and proof they have been charging my account!"
"Brand new 30ft RV Stolen in early Feb 2022. In December 2021, thieves stole the batteries from our rv. This is supposed to be a locked facility where they charge us $426/mo with the expectation that there is some security. Life storage did not offer to repay the cost of the replacement battery.
Apparently, thieves conducted a smash and grab of RVs from the facility in Feb 2022 and I assume mine was stolen at that time and I was never notified. It wasn't until over 30 Day later when we received a parking ticket in the mail for our rv. It was stolen from Life storage for 5 weeks ago and they tell me they had NO idea?!? Really? It was brand new, 30ft long and occupied the corner space that was hugely
We located our RV in a Los Angeles homeless encampment destroyed with people paying gangs rent money to live and party there. In addition to this, we received notification from Life Storage they would be raising our monthly dues.. this was during the time our rv was stolen.
So if you are looking for a facility to pay a mortgage prices that has absolutely no security and would rather keep quiet and support thieves, then this is the place for you!"
"My $30k camping trailer was just stolen from here. I was paying $300 per month for the storage. Apparently a truck rammed the gate, came in and stole two RVs. It was all caught on footage including the license plates of the vehicles involved in the theft. But Life Storage didn't notify me or the police until more than three days later. The gate is still broken and left in the open position. If you have vehicles stored here or a storage unit, you would be wise to find another place ASAP."
"Friendly, reliable, secure, and always chill. Lots of parking, all ground floor spaces, all easily accessible, climate-controlled section, and wheelchair accessible throughout the entire premises, including the front office. The staff is always nice, and they have 24/7 customer service over the phone with a live representative."
"Recently, the office is closed much on the weekends despite the posted online hours starting they are open.
This weekend (feb 12-13 2021) the office was closed Saturday after 1230 and all day Sunday.
This means one cannot obtain a cart to assist in hauling items to/from one's unit. A major inconvenience. (They're padlocked, keys are in office). This is ridiculous.
Despite scrimping on services, we still pay full price."
"A good place if you want tons of security.
They have carts for your use to move in and out. Except the day you decide to move out and expecting to use a cart only to find out they are locked up and the office is closed ON A SATURDAY at 1 pm. No key for the cart. WTF"
"Moved in today to a 10x12 unit, and Trey who was working the property made the whole process incredibly easy and enjoyable. Turned something that usually sucks into a decent experience. Knowledgeable, efficient, and good spirited. Ask for him if you can."
"I want to thank Life Storage for always keeping my units clean and safe. The professionalism and politeness of the staff on site is refreshing. In particular, Ken Evans and Trey Johnson. Thank you gentlemen for your customer first attitude when helping me with my deliveries and making sure my unit gets open for FedEx and UPS. You both help me facilitate my business needs as if they are your own. I have a lot to be thankful for this time of year and me and my company are thankful for Ken and Trey keeping our inventory of pharmaceutical samples safe and sound."
"I have had a unit with Life Storage for over a year now and it has been a very pleasant experience. Recently, I lost the key to my lock and Ken at Life Storage was able to help me get it removed to access my storage items. He was very helpful and the process was easy. 10/10 would recommend!"
"Such great customer service! I greatly appreciate all of the assistance I received from Ken. I've been a long time customer and it's been a great experience. I highly recommend this location"
"They take such advantage of you once you have been there. My rates went from just over 100.00 when I first rented to now 270.00. Sad and ridiculous that they charge that much. Find somewhere else."
"Been with Life Storage when it first opened under a different company. It is clean, well lit, and easy to access. I have just rented a BIGGER space while I reorganize my place and life. Thank goodness, Roger (Manager) was there to help. The process couldn't have been simpler. Now all I have to do is reorganize my stuff! LOL"
"Life Storage in Elk Grove California is where i rented a unit. My storage was RAVAGED BY RATS! I chose this site because it looked clean and advertised climate control so that items are not baking in the heat.
My unit was # 399 10x30 above the unit are residence that lived there. Alot of my items where ruined and damaged. The rats chewed the wiring to a 2,000 dollar GE 6 burner stove that was brand new, I also had other items and clothing, comforter sets, paintings and queen mattress that were distroyed. I filed a claim with life storage ins. company is Xercor who only pays $500 dollars and still took out $100 dollar for a deductible. I only got a total of $400 dollars. My comforters for my queen beds cost 275-300. i ONLY CHOOSE 1 STAR BECAUSE i CANT POST REVIEW WITHOUT RATING. It rates a ZERO DONT USE"
"I stored all of my belongings at life storage during a remodel. The facility was clean, well lit, and seemed safe and well watched over. I was expecting to "get got" with additional "gotcha" charges upon moving out but i am happy to report that was not the case.
The staff was a differentiator. They made the move in and move out process straightforward. I worked with Stephanie and she walked me through the entire process and was more than accommodating."
"I've been to Public Storage and Extra Space. Both places CANNOT COMPARE to the level of professionalism, cleanliness and customer care given by Life Storage. The staff, Ken and Stephanie, is awesome! The manager Traymore is Awsome! and actually cares about the customers. I strongly recommend Life Storage"
