We at Life Storage want to maintain the best storage facilities in Boulder, and in every city where we do business.
Take a look at all the good things our customers say about this Life Storage, and all of our stores! It thrills us to give customers the best customer service possible, and to hear when they are pleased with how we have taken care of their storage needs.
"The staff here at Life Storage are amazing. Their customer service and professionalism are top notch. I'd recommend location to all my friends and family. I'll say it again in my opinion they are the best in boulder."
"The nicest people work there--so friendly and helpful--they made the process enjoyable. Not what you'd expect from renting a storage unit. Now I kinda want to go back just to say hi.
The unit was so secure, I didn't even need to sweep the floor when I moved my things out of it."
"Wow - you cannot make up the rude, disrespectful, dismissive, nasty behavior of the two women in the office. I have never been treated so rudely in my professional life. The older woman with the fake eyebrows (sorry did not get her name) chastised my son and me telling us that "we would have to wait for a final check-out receipt and that she couldn't help us because she had to call other customers". The other, younger, larger woman was shockingly rude. She would not go out to the unit to perform some inspection so we could get our final bill. She finally stood up from her desk to go do it, huffing and puffing the whole way, AND SHE SLAMMED THE DOOR IN MY FACE WHEN I TRIED TO FOLLOW HER. On top of it, the place was filthy and full of trash from the prior tenants. Go somewhere, anywhere, else."
"Front desk staff are extremely rude, unhelpful, and unprofessional. Went into the office for simple assistance and the front desk staff seemed to be simply annoyed that I was disrupting them. Was insulted and cursed at when walking out the door. Would recommend anyone who’s looking for storage to check out anywhere other than here."
"I’ve had nothing but good experiences with this facility! My belongings feel very secure and the staff has always been so friendly through the years I’ve been storing here! Highly recommend."
"Do not use this facility. Leakage is rampant, the units do not properly seal causing significant dust/dirt to enter under the door, and the staff can be unfriendly. I highly recommend going to Extra Space Storage off Industrial Lane 15 minutes away, worth the drive. The units at Extra Space are much cheaper, the facility is new, there are climate control units, and the manager is excellent. You will regret choosing Life Storage over Extra Space."
"Horrific service and late fees. The website is very clunky and outdated. Tried to put the unit on autopay many times but their website didn't take it, so we got charged almost $300 in late fees despite our best effort to pay things on time. When we called and tried to figure it out, we got absolutely no traction. The manager hung up on me when I asked for fee waivers due to not being able to maneuver their website. She said I needed proof of confirmation that it had been put on autopay, so that was a good way for them to weasel out of any kind of good faith customer service. But it turns out the website won't let you put anything on autopay if your payment is late because you thought it was on autopay! Avoid this facility. Other facilities and websites are much easier to work with. We also use Public Storage nearby and there have been no problems."
"BEWARE!
A leak in the roof ruined over 50 thousand dollars of items. They took ZERO responsibility but admitted that it happened and took pictures. The reason we pay outrageous monthly fees is to keep our goods safe and stored. The "insurance" that they require you to buy literally has no coverage for WATER or VERMIN or MOLD (and other types of damage). Considering the large gaps under the doors (easily large enough for mice and rats-- and there were plenty of droppings). Very disappointed and you have BEEN WARNED!"
"Sheila is the manager here and is the sole reason I am leaving a one star review. She became impatient, rude and hostile when I tried to get my own insurance instead of paying the ridiculous $14 fee for their insurance.
Worst customer experience ever and I highly doubt she would’ve treated a white person like this but I guess bc I’m black she thinks it’s appropriate to yell and then speed off in her bmw when I told her I didn’t want the unit due to her unprofessionalism."
"Professional and extremely helpful from start to finish. Karla helped me with recommending a smaller space than what I thought I needed. That saved me money. Saving money makes sense!! Thank you Life Storage! I am one happy customer!"
"We stored our travel trailer for a month here, and it was a great spot, easily accessed, and clear rules to follow, so a great experience. The ONLY minor thing is that they often don't answer the phone, but they DO return calls promptly when voicemails are left, so it's not a big deal. We already have another month booked!"
"Disrespectful staff with unorganised and costly mistakes that are only dealt with by the money out of your account. Rude managers who blame deflect and ignore staff misconduct and poor conduct of employees."
"I was in a bind and needed to find a storage solution quickly. Karla listened to me and help me decide what the best option was for me. She made the entire process seemless and in no time I had a place I can store my belongings. It was good old fashioned customer service that is hard to find. I am so thankful that I found life storage and a wonderful lady like Karla . 10/10! You deserve more than 5 stars! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"Life Storage at 5815 Arapahoe is really safe and secure. The people who work there especially Alex is really helpful with any questions you might have. Great value for the cost"
"I came to Life Storage with pretty low expectations. I've dealt with other storage facilities in the past and thought this was going to be very much the same experience. I was extremely mistaken when it came to here. Alexander was the most helpful and knowledgeable employee I had the pleasure of meeting with. His expertise of the inner workings of Life Storage far surpassed any of my past dealings. Alexander was friendly, personable, and extremely patient with me and all my questions. I was taken a back when I learned he wasn't in management; he is more than qualified to run this facility. I'm not sure if these are read by management but if do internal hiring Alexander is your man. The name speaks for itself, I am now a life customer at Life Storage!"
"Karla, a part of the management team, was great to work with.. I initially had frustrations with some aspects of my move in (separate location) Karla pulled up the slack, and got it on track.."
"I needed to put my car in storage over winter break and I found this place at the right time. They had a special going on and it only cost me $25 to put my car in a space for a month. great accessibility and amazing staff that has helped me so much. Will be doing business with this place again for sure"
"This storage company is overpriced oh, and they do not prorate any additional days if you close your account with them early. My brother lost out on $87 because he paid a few days ago and we were able to come get his stuff out of his unit and they wouldn't refund the additional days. Use them at your own risk."
"Price of my unit kept increasing to a point that friends of mine had larger units for significantly less money. If that's the way you reward loyal renters, by milking them for higher rents, then I'll find a different vendor."
"Had a wonderful experience working with Karla! I was in a bind and needed something fast and she took the time to show me a couple of units and we picked the best size for my needs. Paperwork was fast and she was so kind and helpful. I definitely recommend coming down to see her!"
"Thank you! Thank you! Carla was so knowledgeable, friendly, and understanding. She made this crazy process so easy and hassle free. I felt like I mattered and not just a number in line.If you need storage, I highly recommend going here first."
"I took advantage of a promotion while relocating. With the rate I received, it was excellent value. The facility was standard for an outside accessible / non climate controlled unit. I found the staff to be very responsive and helpful."
"I highly recommend Life Storage of Boulder CO - Bruce Sterling and the rest of staff are outstanding, the rates are very reasonable. Ive dealt with other storage companies in the Front Range, and they dont compare... see Life Storage first and skip the rest."
"Storage is fine, but sometimes their security lacks. Gates sometimes left open, and homeless people wandering about the units.
Also, do not use the trash their because theyll charge a ridiculous $500 fee."
"My girlfriend and I stored our things here this past summer and unfortunately had a pretty bad experience with life storage. Getting the unit was a hassle as phone calls to the office were returned very infrequently. Additionally, whenever we went to try to get things out of the unit, we were attacked by the wasps living in the nest in her unit. My girlfriend even got stung in the face, which left her with a swollen face for two days. We spoke to representatives of the company and they told us there was essentially nothing they could do about the wasps, and that they couldn't offer any sort of refund, even partial, to make up for the fact that we got a wasp-infested unit. I understand they didn't purposefully give us a bad space, but they made no effort to remedy the problem in any form."
"As mentioned in other reviews, the payment system is a headache. I had repeat payments set up in a unit, then moved to a new unit - and without my knowledge, my repeat payments stopped, causing me to be charged a late fee of 25% of the rent. I complained about this, had a representative waive the late fee and set up repeat payments while on the phone with her. Next month, I was once again charged a 25% late fee, and upon complaining again, they said they were not going to waive the late fee.
There are cheaper storage facilities with the same quality in the area. And although I was recommended to use this location, I'm now planning to go somewhere else."
"The lady in the front office really helped me get the best deal possible and helped calm my chaotic situation. You are a life saver. Thank you for all of your help carla. :)"
"They dont prorate youre last month. Ive used other local storage places that do and I considered this a basic principle. If you move out of your space then you shouldnt be paying."
"Numerous vagrants swarming all over the in this place. Space at $20 per square foot is more than a heated commercial building. Non working security camera."
"Life Storage staff are very helpful and friendly, and treated me with respect and kindness during what was a difficult home transition for me. The facility is clean, secure, and well maintained. They also worked with me during my move out!"
"I am and have been a current customer and am going to empty out and close my unit tonight or tomorrow morning. Firstly, they advertise my unit as being $49 but after you give them all of your info and have invested your time and energy into them they tell you it's actually $62. This is annoying but not terrible. The real issue I have with them is that they refuse to save your credit card information and they do not contact you about when your next bill is due. I regularly receive emails from them informing me that I owe them exorbitant "late fees" when I haven't even been contacted to make an initial payment. I've been out of state for a long time otherwise I would have ended my business with them months ago.
Long story short, I find their practices to be dishonest, unprofessional and unethical. Avoid this business at all costs."
"Karla and Kristen we incredibly helpful the other day. They took care of me quickly, answered all of my questions, and got me out quickly. Great facility and clean units."
"A word of warning, they will try to upsell you on "Storage Unit Insurance" when you arrive to claim your unit. Most homeowners insurance covers personal property in a storage unit....BUT...they require a printed copy of the declarations page from your insurance. You can either bring a printer version with you or you can FAX it to them (#Only90sKids). They can't take an email of a PDF, they can't print anything there, they are relying on people to not show up with the proper documentation and then pay extra for their insurance.
The units themselves are a good deal and easily accessible, so no complaints there."
"From the reservation for the unit, to the paperwork and payment. The staff here are knowledgeable and explan any questions you may ask, quickly and clearly. They have quite a selection of packaging supplies for almost any move. There's usually 2 employees on location so wait times are short. Will update pics and more info later."
"The best storage facility I've ever used. Karla has always been incredibly helpful and she keeps the facility clean and maintained. I definitely recommend this property for anyone with storage needs in Boulder!"
"Karla is amazing. She goes above and beyond what is expected of her. She is always friendly and ready to help and thinks outside the box to figure out how to fix a problem.
Josh has always been kind and helpful also.
The best workers I have come across anywhere. They should be appreciated and acknowledged."
"Karla was extremely kind when I was checking in for my reserved garage. Made the process a piece of cake and made me feel secure about storing my things there. "
"Your company, facility and service are terrific. My only comment would be that you're a little bit on the pricey side. But I guess you get what you pay for."
"I left because I needed storage only for a defined time period and then would have no further need. Your people and facility were excellent and, should I need storage in the future, you are the best of the 4 others I've used in the past 5 years. I will recommend you.
"
"I have been renting a unit for about a year now and have always dealt with Karla and Jordan and I would have to say they are the most polite and warm hearted people I know. Thanks for the great experience at Life Storage.
