"The customer service I got from the Manager Ashley was amazing. All information was accurate and the instructions was clear. The facility was clean and it wasn’t hard to find my unit based on the instructions from Ashley. I am in between housing and this was storage made it less burdensome for me . Thank you!"
"Ashley the store manager is simply excellent. Make my storage experience a lot stress free. Sucsh a friendly person. Thanks Ashley for being there always."
"Ashley is a true gem and an asset to this facility. She is kind, professional and so helpful. She took her time, making sure we understood all the required steps for renting a space. She escorted us to our storage unit, made certain we knew where the restroom was and how to work the electric doors. I have used 2 other storage companies in the past and have never experienced such complete customer service."
"I went to find a unit that was suitable for my things and when I arrived the location was well organized and smelled amazing ☺️. The representative that assisted me named Ashley was well educated and explained all the available units. It was very refreshing getting the services received!"
"When you contact them Ashley at store number 453 was very helpful, polite, and curtious. It's wonderful to know that with the way things are now in days where you can only talk to someone by phone. She was wonderful on helping me get the right answers. You have a wonderful employee, Thank you."
"First time renter here, and Ashley was so professional, insightful & helpful. She explained everything so that I understood it clearly & also had a few jokes. She made my experience with Life Storage so much better."
"i would have gave "life storage" in plantsville ct. 0 stars if i was able to! because they are ripping people off!! i'll be posting all over the internet as well, about my experience with these scammers!! this company "life storage" bought out ct. self storage! life storage locked my 10'x20' unit on 2/18/22 before my contract was even expired!! i received a phone call on friday 2/18/22 saying i owe 1 month of storage. i said wtf are you talking about? i paid 1 year up front in full!! they told me, "sorry" our billing cycle is every 8th of the month. so i asked them wtf exactly does that has to do with anything?? i paid 1 year up front in full; from 2/24/21-2/24/22. that's one year!! "do the math" "1 year is 1 year"! it doesn't matter when your billing cycle is or ends! it was not on auto renew either! just another storage company scam! do not use this company!! they are f-kin liers!! & scammers!! they made me pay for a month of rent i didn't even owe! $216.95 to unlock my unit! which i will be disputing with my credit card company!! do not use this company! they are liars & scammers!! i would assume all their locations are the same!"
"Ashley is the best! Always helpful and very courteous. She went the extra mile to ensure my year plus at Life Storage in Bristol was a great experience. Very highly recommended!"
"I was driving around with extra belongings in my truck when I remembered that I used to rent in Bristol when I walked in there was Yahaira she immediately smiled and made my day she made sure that I got what I needed and made it easy for me to rent once again you are the true meaning of a professional thanks for going above and beyond..⭐️"
"My husband and I were in complete need of a storage unit and somehow Yahaira was very informative and professional I would highly recommend using them if we needed to again..."
"We were relocating from Florida to CT and Yahaira and Ashley were amazing to our needs, one of the cleanest facilities I’ve ever been too. I will definitely recommend and use them all over again thank you Yahaira.."
"I’ve been having storage spaces for long time at multiple towns and states. This location in Bristol is the cleanest and the neat one. Ashley the store manager is a very friendly, helpful and kind. She is the true professional and knows what she is doing very well. I strongly suggest this location for your next storage space needs."
"Lifestorage is a great facility! Ashley was very friendly, patient, and efficient in getting our unit set up and checked out. Nice to work with professional people in the Bristol store."
"Needed some help trying to hedge on my Connecticut relocation plans and Ashley came through with just the help I needed or may need......thanks very much."
"Today I stopped by life storage at 700 Mountain Rd., Bristol I wanted to find out information about the units and I must say the manager Ashley was amazing and pleasant… I definitely will be going back and renting from life storage"
"Ashley is great she helped me immensely since my first time using a storage unit she was very friendly and caring and was patient with my ignorance she is a definite asset to your company"
"While the facility is generally clean, there are issues with snow removal and snow blocking garage loading bay doors in winter,,, and "climate control," is basically ineffective in units that have an outside wall. Most of the staff is courteous and understanding, but corporate ties their hands to help anyone.
The corporate office raises rent with no regard for anything. I have been in that facility for many years. There is no regard given for my loyalty as a customer. They raise rent due to "increased demand," but they don't lower it when demand decreases. What other product can a company get away with charging you for then deciding, "well, someone would have paid me more for that so you owe me more money?"
In essence, fairly nice facility, but lousy business practices."
"Lifestorage is a great facility! The staff is friendly, patient, and efficient in getting you set up and checked out. I will rent from them again if I ever need storage in the future! I highly recommend them!"
"Easy to begin rental process online. Store Manager Ashley was helpful in completing rental agreement and with tour of facility. Building was clean and in good condition."
"Ashley and Jayne are incredible. Finally friendly faces with experience, knowledge, and charm that make me look to them to help with any issue I have. They actually answer the phone and have helped me with several issues so far. They made LifeStorage the correct choice for me! I appreciate them LS, treat them well!"
"I've been seeing significant deterioration in quality at a number of businesses lately. It may be related to the reports that businesses are having a hard time finding workers. This used to be a good business. Good reviews that previously were posted about the manager and employees are corrrect. The manager was excellent. Employees were excellent. All the positive comments were accurate. However, the manager was recently replaced. I don't know why, but it's terrible. The new manager seems to have brought at least some new employees. It has become an awful place. The new manager seems very inexperienced and lacking in training. She's disrespectful and argumentative. She has no interest in helping customers or providing good service. She's interested in arguing rather than helping. She seems immature. The seemingly new employee(s) are also of poor quality. The new manager may have gotten rid of previous employees because I haven't seen them, and understaffing seems to be a problem now, as the office door is often locked during business hours with a sign up to call the manager if you need to get in. Very disappointing what has happened to this place. I don't know why the previous excellent managers and enployees suddenly disappeared. But at this point, if you're not a customer, consider yourself lucky and stay away"
"I met Ashley when I was stuck on the side of the road and she was so kind to help me get to safety. What a wonderful person, kind, compassionate and caring. Thank you Ashley a thousand times!!"
"Ashley was well organized, pleasant to talk to, and meticulous in helping me set up my storage plan. She even drew me a map of how to find my storage locker. Should be the manager of the store. Robert"
"Store manager:?Kapil Verma was great he was very dedicated prompt and attentive. He gave me a great understanding of everything...thanks so much for your service"
"I went into the office to let them know about water leaking from the roof. The manager, Kapil, was rude and didn't do anything to get the issue resolved. I also have a hard time getting someone to help me here because the office is never open."
"Store Manager Kapil Verma was very understanding and patient. I was very concerned about a late payment and he assisted me very professionally. I am very pleased with how he represented Life Storage."
"Kapil was excellent in closing my lease agreement! He was efficient, thorough and professional. He went above and beyond for me to set up my storage for corporate usage, and made the authorization process efforts directly toward my company to make the experience as simple as possible for me. I would recommend this business and even more Kapil as a manager to anyone requiring storage space!"
"Life Storage was able to provide me with a unit very last minute when I needed one and Kapil went above and beyond when I was closing the account to make sure I was only paying for the space when my things occupied it. Even though it was a difficult time and transition for me, I knew that my things were safe there. Would recommend."
"Kapil was wonderful. He was very friendly and attentive. I would recommend his and LifeStorages services to friend who are looking into obtaining units."
"I have had a great experiance with your costumer service, store manager.Kapil Verma. Has great knowledge of this business. A great help also. Thank you for chosing Him. I hope he is here for a long time. He needs a raise. Sincerely, Mrs. Joy boudreau."
"We had 2 storage units at Life Storage without incident for several months. But a few weeks ago, we arrived to find a large pool of water coming out of the unit two doors down for us, and water running down the back wall of our storage unit. Both the employee on site that day and the manager I talked to the next day said my only option was to change units, and that they would not provide any discount or any compensation whatsoever towards movers to move my entire house's worth of stuff in those units. Both the employee and the manager told me that "life happens". And that "the unit was dry when I gave it to you." This is not an acceptable response for a place that is supposed to care about keeping your belongings safe from harm. I do not recommend going with this storage unit unless you too want to hear that "life happens at Life storage!". As a result I moved out early, and now have a jampacked garage because it's safer there than in Life Storage Bristol."

"The gentleman working there was very helpful ! We weren’t sure what size unit we would need so he showed us a couple different units and helped us make a decision! The whole process was just very easy ! Thanks for great customer service !"
"Francisco at Life Storage was awesome. He was professional, courteous and very helpful. The process was easy and the location is very clean. Thank you Francisco for making a stressful situation quite easy!"
"Great storage location. Nice huge facility with easy loading whether it’s upper or lower units. Plenty of room for offloading, numerous docking doors and nice big wide doors. Very clean.
Can be a little tricky trying to make a left turn out of the parking lot, busy four lane road."
"The first time I ever rented a storage unit. Francisco was very nice and personable. He showed me around and also suggested options in products. Not pushy at all and was very professional. The place is very clean and the one to one customer service was great. A couple of days later I had to rent another unit and was given the best deal over the phone with customer service. When I got to the store Bobby was extremely nice and funny, seemed very happy to help, he even made sure I saw the unit before my purchase and got the best price. I would definitely suggest this place to others. Keep up the awesome vibes!"
"Bait and switch. I'm disappointed I have to review so low because before they decided to randomly raise the monthly fee on me, this was a 5 star experience. But about 5 months into my contract, they sent an email saying that they were now allowed to raise any fees at any time, and a couple weeks after that raised the rent. Will be taking my business elsewhere."
"I used Life Storage in Bristol for about 9 months and it was perfect! Exactly what I needed. When I moved out Francisco, the manager, was SUPER helpful and very kind. I would definitely use this storage facility again!"
"Fantastic experience. I worked directly with the location manager. She was very friendly and welcoming. The facility is spotless. Definitely would recommend to anyone needed a storage facility."
"I went today to downgrade my unit and was greeted by Liz. She was filling in for the day and I’d like to say what an amazing experience I had with her. She was so very professional, kind and informative about my options and she went above and beyond to assure me of my best options. Life Storage is so very lucky to have her represent your company. I am so grateful for her kindness and expertise. Truly a great job well done and I hope she gets recognized for her amazing customer service! ! Thank you Liz. Sincerely, Lisa A 👍👍👍"
"Chante was polite, informative and helpful. She showed me a unit that fit my needs and quickly explained everything I needed. I was ready to move in the same day with ease."
"Mr Morales did a good job helping my mother and I look for the right storage unit for us. Kind, helpful, understanding and listened to what we had to say."
"Francisco Morales was great. He walked me through everything. He was very hospitable and made sure I understood the way LifeStorage operates and was clear on what to expect. I'd definitely recommend LifeStirage to others. I felt very respected. Thank you!"
