"I was impressed! It was my first time renting a storage unit, yet store managers Brittany and David made it easy. They advised me on unit size, and thoroughly explained all charges and access procedures. I have asked for their assistance several times since then, and they've always been helpful. Once I had to call for assistance while on vacation, miles away, but they responded almost immediately. Their customer service is impressive.

"Easy to set up and great service! This is our second time renting from this storage area and we will definitely be back again. Easy to unload and in a great location. Staff was friendly and answered anything we needed. Thanks again!"
"$69 for climate controlled ~10'x10' was less than half the cost of my next best option. It was just enough space for the stuff from my 1 bedroom apartment. David was helpful in the office. No issues when it was time to cancel my unit either. Just went to the office during their hours and finished one form in less than 5 minutes."
"I found the entire experience of signing up, storing, and final clean out to be enjoyable. There was little fuss or muss and the property was always clean and well-maintained, even in the Colorado weather."
"The experience of storing my household goods was very enjoyable. Getting a small unit in the climate controlled building took no effort. Anytime I needed to access it, the area was clean and plowed. Finally, cleaning out and closing the account when I no longer needed it was easy and quick. Top notch operation."
"I’ve used Life storage in the past and they always run a tight ship. Sam helped me reserve a unit and he was extremely professional, helpful and covered everything I needed to know about the rental.
Dave called me right after to walk me through the location/access and was equally as courteous and helpful.
Rentals also includes discounted moving supplies they sell on location."
"I had an excellent experience at Life Storage. The facility is well maintained and it has always been easy for me to get in and out to gather my belongings. It is very close to downtown Boulder (only 15 min away). Great customer service and affordable prices."
"Great customer service! My first experience with a storage place. David was very helpful! He directed me to the closest place to park to unload. He assisted me with the unfamiliar lock. I found his help to be very supportive! Thanks again David!"
"Great service is rare to find these days. David went over the top to assist with my storage move in. He answered all of my questions and made it a pleasurable experience. Thank you, David for making my day!"

"David was super nice and helpful. We had a good couple laughs when setting up my storage unit. This is my first time using a facility like this and so far it’s been nothing but a pleasure!"
"Great facility! We needed extra climate controlled storage for about a month and the reservation process was easy, it's a good location, and the climate control was solid for the hot late summer months.
David at the desk was very helpful, noticing within an hour or two when I had emptied out the storage unit and sent a move out confirmation without me having to call or email. Very convenient and appreciated!"
"I’ve been a customer here for a few years, they’re always super helpful and friendly. Recently I had an issue where I was robbed and they took my keys, including the key to my storage unit. Such a huge hassle. Today I went to the storage place and had them get me in to the unit, They were extremely helpful and quick. Got me settled in about 15 minutes and now I don’t have to waste a bunch of my day figuring that out. David has helped me a few times in the past and he’s an awesome dude. Highly recommend"
"Stored here for two years, and all fine with that.
Policy to not refund majority of month when checking out on the 6th was irritating. Apparently the policy changed from when we started in 2019."
"The facility is well maintained. The folks that work on site were always quite friendly and attentive...But, the annual rate increases, though indicated in the agreement, became too much for me (latest was about 17%) and the space I had no longer would fit into my budget. My guess is that Lifestorage will simply raise rates until they have a certain level of vacancy. Also, be aware that an adjacent marshy area seems to result in rat presence- one of the biggest I've ever seen wandered by one day..."
"Absolute terrible business. This location is NEVER open. If I show up in the morning, sign says back ~11am. When I tried showing up around 11am, sign would say @ lunch, back ~1pm. When I tried showing up late in the day, sign would read back ~5:30pm. Today I tried waiting until 1pm since I had the day off, and sign said @ lunch, back 2:15pm. Out of the last 5 times I tried to pay my bill, they were only in the office once during normal business hours. Totally unreliable at this location, never there, and manager lies about phone issues when you try to phone in payment.
Corporate office is just as unprofessional. They promised me resolution, promised me their district manager would contact me and never did. They chose to forget about their lack of professionalism rather then deal with it.
AVOID THIS BUSINESS AT ALL COSTS. You would be better off storing your items in a ditch than relying on these people, let alone actually paying for their "service""
"Totally unreliable, office is NEVER open. I tried showing up early mornings, but always found sign saying back ~11am. I tried taking an early lunch to be there ~11, and sign said @ lunch back ~1pm. I even tried showing up near end of the day only to get sign saying back ~5:30pm. Today I figured I would show up at 1pm and sign said @ lunch, back 2:15pm. Out of the last 5 times I showed up to pay my bill during normal business hours, they were only actually there once. Major waste of my time, corporate no longer has humans you can speak to because of their lack of professionalism.
AVOID THIS BUSINESS AT ALL COSTS. You would be better off storing your items in a ditch than giving this company your business. They purposefully make it impossible to pay your bill so they can charge late fees. Don't trust any of these other reviews, they are not actual customers because their level of service, kindness, or professionalism has never been what some of these show.
At least when I die I won't ever have to deal with this place again. Helping my mother with her storage units is the single greatest burden in my life thanks to these people"
"We recently needed short term storage and worked with David at Life Storage in Boulder. David was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend David and Life Storage if you have any storage needs near Boulder."
"I've rented here in the past and now need to rent again and Brittany helped me both times and she is great! She knows everything about the facility and has always hooked me up with the best unit to store my motorcycle. Thank you Brittany for all your help! Highly recommend this place!
Marcel"
"reasonable rates and excellent customer service and dedication by david and brittany in helping me keep my valuables safe and secure! they are always helpful and I've been here for over 5 years... highly recommend!"
"Great! Made getting a large storage unit easy. David was absolutely awesome handling a bit of the complicated needs we had. He gave 150 percent of making everything work out. Excellent to do business with. Thank you!"
"David is super nice, informative, helpful and truly cares about this property. And the facility seems clean, and well maintained. It is conveniently located off the Diagonal Highway. I just rented there myself and look forward to moving in my stuff, knowing it'll be issue free."
"After renting here twice, we found the units at Life Storage on Odell clean and as advertised. They provided secure access with roomy spaces between buildings so that you can drive your car a reasonable distance to any unit. Renting online was simple and their office was very responsive if you need to talk with someone."
"The storage unit is a little difficult to locate, but the service was outstanding. If it wasn't for the help of David we would not have been able to find our unit as easily as we did. We really appreciated the excellent customer service and bright smiles :)"
"This team is awesome. Stopped by today to get a box and I'll definitely be back when I move next month to buy boxes from them. Great customer service and brightened my day."
"I just wanted to express my thanks to David (your manager in Gunbarrel). I stopped by yesterday and had some questions regarding rent unit price increases. He investigated and called me back today. He was very courteous and a pleasure to work with."
"We have used this storage unit for several years and they have always been responsive. Today David was very helpful with a payment question--he was professional and responded quickly to my question and followed up within the hour."
"Wow, an excellent experience! I called, and someone answered right away, and made my reservation. After driving to the location, David kindly let me in to check-in, even though they were only doing online check-ins. He went above and beyond to make sure I was all set. He was funny, kind, welcoming. He laid out all of the options, and this is the best storage unit I've ever had. Easy to store, wide enough to access belongings, and they have drive-up access. Thank you so much David for your support! Highly recommend, I'll be storing here in the future."
"David hoadley is an amazing man. Great attitude and a wonderful heart even though he goes through alot himself. They have made my move to boulder a wonderful experience. Would never use any other facility than life storage. Thanks David"
"Wow. What amazing customer service. Like EVERY time. David and Brittany are so funny so real and so helpful. My rental (my third here) went so smoothly yesterday that I promised to bring David a burger. And then I forgot! Sorry David! It will be coming!! Thanks for everything you do."
"I have stored household items at the Gunbarrel Life Storage (Odell Place) since August 2019 due to an extended home remodel. David and Brittany are the best. They are customer service professionals. I have appreciated the help they have provided many times during "my time". Thank You both, wishing you the very best!"
"These guys are great. David is always zooming around the property doing this or that and Britany holds the fort down. I have never had an issue. Would highly recommend Life Storage!"
"Brittany, the Manager, cannot be counted on to open the Office on time; she needs about 30 minutes to do so. And yes, she and her staff have a tendency to disappear from the office leaving "Office Closed" signed without any other note mid business hours. The Headquarters never called back when I left a message asking for explanation. This is not a way to run a business."
"I was happy with my service at this location until I tried to close my account. I cleaned my storage unit and reached out to the office staff multiple times (leaving a detailed voicemail every time) over the course of a week to complete final paperwork. I never received any response from their team and was forced to reach out to cooperate to get assistance. Cooperate told me the local store would be in contact within 48 hours, but that never happened via email or phone.
I consider communication a vital part of customer service, and it was completely lacking in this experience. Next time I need to work with a storage company, I will search for a team that properly values communication with their customers.
p.s. If you do choose to work with this team/location, be sure to cover everything you own as the chicken-wire celling on the space led to large amounts of dirt and insulation falling onto & into my things."

"If you're on the fence about where to store your stuff, Life Storage in Gunbarrel is hands down the best option.
David especially will go above and beyond to ensure that you're taken care of. I got myself into a huge pickle by forgetting to lock an empty unit and extend the lease, and when I lost access to it mere days before a major out-of-town move, David SAVED ME. He was on site just past regular office hours and set me up with a new unit for the same price. Because of his kindness and great service, I didn't have to cancel moving trucks & movers or push back my move date.
These folks are the best. You will not find better customer service in Boulder!"
"Customer service at Life Storage is fantastic! My experience renting there has been great and whenever I have had questions or needed help there was someone there to to happily help. Highly recommend this place!"
"Brittany and David were communicative, attentive and professional. They were so helpful and made the rental process smooth and seamless and they did the same at check out. I would highly recommend this storage facility. The facility was secure and clean."
"Had a space for a couple of years. Finally moved into a house. Brittany and David run a tight ship and answered/fixed any questions/needs I may have had!"
"I had an amazing experience with life storage for my rental. David, the store manager, helped us get all settled in the unit. He was very professional, personable, and informational. Highly recommend if you need a place for storage!"
"I rented two units to use during a move and worked with
David Hoadley.
The units were clean and well lighted, David was always there checking on the storage units when I was there and he always came by to offer help if needed. I recommend this Life Storage location for any storage needs."
"Always stressful moving- but add to that this was a move because of Covid 19, and this was worse. Not allowed to come back after Spring Break because of Corona. Then being summoned back to move my daughters things from the sorority house during a small window. Not fun- but Dave was great. Found us a great climate controlled unit. Did everything digitally, so no contact. Simply amazing. Safe."
