"Totally love Doug! He was super helpful, made everything easy to understand and the process was super simple. He’s also very hard working being the only one there!"
"Easy process from start to finish. Doug was great to work with and even allowed for extra time needed to clean out the unit. Very flexible. I will definitely check back for the next auction and hopefully be doing buisness again."
"I normally do not give 5 stars, however, Doug at Life Storage San Marco's deserves a 10!
He is easy to work with, makes the whole process a breeze, and is not trying to sell your stuff. I cannot speak more highly of a storage facility then this one, seriously."
"10 ++ all day with life storage in San Marcos California ....a good find every time, I'll be here once a month. The office manager Doug was a great help to me very respectful and a professional."
"One of the best finds we've had so far came all the way from Long Beach out here it was well worth the trip we'll do it again I've been every time when it's life stories online that's the way we tell it anyway making the money it was definitely worth the money we spent"
"Doug was wonderful. He helped me out with a space when I was in a pinch! He gave me all my option that fit my budget. I can’t express how much I appreciate Life self storage in San Marcos."
"Needed temporary storage while showing and selling our house. Easy move in and out, with convenient drive up. Staff is quick and efficient - thanks for the help Doug!"
"Douglas was a pleasure to speak to and handle issues with. He was patient, kind, understanding and made extra efforts to ensure I was taken care of and that my issues were resolved. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE."
"I was unsure as to what size unit I needed. Doug took the time to show me the different size units and to explain how to optimize the space for my belongings. He was very helpful and kind. Thank you Doug."
"Makensey was super sweet and helpful when it came to her property. The whole place was clean and organized. I was super happy with my experience here."
"McKenney has been awesome at helping me with storage units. She always goes beyond the extra mile. Which is so appreciated.
I am a very happy customer!"
"Wonderful experience throughout. Carlos was very attentive and professional, but all of the staff were just as helpful. Would recommend to anyone looking for affordable storage!"
"my experience with this company was great. Carlos was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to help us in our move. My husband and 6 kids are more than happy (:"
"Stopped by too look at units and ask questions. And was very impressed by the staff not only did I feel welcomed. But all my questions where answered and I felt taken care of. Definitely recommend this location !!"
"Move in experience was excellent. Very upfront and honest and great customer service. This place is being upgraded and the staff is pleasant to work with. Ample gate hours, good location, and no sketchy people loitering around. That is because it is managed by capable people. Carlos is new but took the time to get things done correctly. Definitely recommend."
"From the time I moved in, to the time I moved out 6 mos later the facility could not maintain promises and assurances. The elevator worked when I did the walkthru, but never again. I had to move the contents of my storage unit on 2nd floor both in AND out without a lift. The front gate remained open most of the time, as that was broken. I couldn’t access my unit one weekend because the security key pad was broken. Promises of a regional manager phone call resulted in no one calling. The manager Makensey is nice enough, but doesn’t seem to have either the ability to effect long-term change, nor does she seem to have the support of management. Don’t be fooled by the price, you will pay later in frustration, wasted trips to storage, and a feeling that your belongings are not really safe. I’m giving 2 stars because they want to be better and try…they just aren’t."
"Top notch customer service! Carlos was friendly, insightful, and attentive to my specific needs! Got a great deal as well! Would definitely recommend to any and all!"
"Makensey was so really helpful and made our experience renting here absolutely pleasurable. She was professional yet personable and very efficient. Would definitely recommend!"
"Makensey was the store manager who helped me pick out my unit. Very respectful and very helpful in my situation. She was Very efficient with pricing and very informative w/ the transaction . Highly recommend"
"Chris and Mackenzie are amazing! They have been helpful for the whole process. Life Storage was great. Thank you, Life Storage, Chris, and Mackenzie!"
"Makensey was more than helpful and made the entire process extremely easy! As a first time user of a storage unit I would be more than happy to refer someone to her!"

"What can I say it's a decent storage unit property. Secure, competitively priced, reasonably well located but the new manager: Makenzie is a rockstar. Helpful, understanding, insightful. I dont even have a unit there just helped a few friends move in and out and she was ridiculously accommodating and if I ever need a unit I'm getting one from her. You should too. Thanks for the cold water Makenzie!!"

She helped me figure out exactly what I needed and how to get me situated during a life crisis. I needed storage yes, but the fact that she showed care was certainly extra. If only everyone was so helpful and understanding!"
