"Excellent service! From the moment that you call you feel the difference…
I started looking for place to store equipment and contacted multiple places, by the customer service and the facility is the best. At least at the Glastonbury location. Dave O’Brien attention to detail was phenomenal delivering fully explained contract and agreements.
You’ll fulfill your storage needs here."
"Just signed up for a unit and everyone was super helpful. I booked one unit but then needed to switch to a larger unit and they helped every step of the way."
"Jayne and her team will welcome you like family to this pristinely clean facility. They have units that can accommodate vehicle storage with adequate room to maneuver into said unit."
"I will be selling my home in the Glastonbury area soon and moving out of state. Until I move into my new home I will need storage units to hold my household belongings. I went to Life Storage in Glastonbury and spoke with Jayne Goodwin the store manager. Jayne was extremely helpful in reviewing a storage plan with me that will work for my moving situation."
"Very clean storage unit. Easy automated gate acces and very friendly staff. Unit size was perfect and helped us out with our move within town. Would definitely recommend!"
"Best storage facility I’ve used. Safe; not crowded, and you can pull right up to your unit. No evidence mice or ants even though it’s an outdoor unit. Vinka & Jane, the managers, have always been so helpful and pleasant, they’re both pretty interesting too if you strike up a conversation with them. Just don’t forget to prepay or pay on time (7 days from due-date) or Lfestorage will charge u a late fee). Some self-storage places just feel ‘seedy,’ this one doesn’t."
"The staff was exceptional in helping me get setup with my space and assisting me with getting all the boxes I’d need for my move. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone searching for a storage location."
"The new Manager gets a five star review! Vikka the storage manager is easy to work with. She is reliable and keeps things running smoothly!

"Everything went very smoothly from start to finish. I booked online and my unit was available when I showed up. It was easy to get in and out of the facility with a moving truck. Most importantly my stuff was clean, dry and bug/mouse free after 9 months of storage!"
"Handled everything online and over the phone, both the start and the end. Not a single office visit needed. Painless, efficient, friendly. Clean and safe property, bug-free spaces, located in a safe town. Thank you, Jane and the staff."
"Very secure, we had our unit for a few months and experienced no problems - friendly staff, everything was easy, couldn't have asked for a better experience!"
"Well managed facility with exceptional service! The store manager, Wencke, set me up in a friendly and efficient manner with a unit that suited my needs. Answered all my questions and made it so easy!"
"This place is a rip off buy their lock for another $17.00 w/tax $24.00 for admin fee (the lease) nickels and dime you to death. No discounts here. Go down the street there is a better place for less $$$$"
"If you want to be ripped off use this place. They make you purchase a lock you cant use anywhere else so burn another $17.00 9w/tax)! I asked to pay for a few months in advance if there was a discount! No discount I found a different storage place down the street pay for 4 months get 2 free! The admin fee is more expensive too $24.00 for filling out paperwork really a rip off! My advise look around this place is a RIP OFF!!!!!!!!!!! Tried to give them zero stars but google wont let you rate that low."
"Professional, first class customer service! I had my boat parked at Life Storage for almost 2 years which offers a secure, safe gated environment. Best storage facility hands down, and I have used several different places in CT but this place is by far the BEST! You will be treated like family, I wish I could rate them more then 5 stars! The only reason I moved my boat out of the storage unit was due to moving out of state. Please give them your business, they are clean, secure, great prices and you will treated with respect, which you won't be able to say about the rest of the areas storage facilities."
"Met with Desiree this morning, wanted a inside climate unit. She did notify there was none available at the moment and put me down on a wait list which I was greatful for. She still brought me out to view a couple of available units she did have so I can visually see what the sizes look like. She was so knowledgeable, and sweet. When we came back into the office she did not rush me out but rather showed me the best items to buy to protect my stuff in storage. Thank you Desiree for the amazing customer service which is rare to find at the moment. See you in January !!"
"Have been going to life storage for 2 years now over winter. Both times the employees have been very helpful and the storage units themselves are great"
"Just wanted to edit my review and give big shout out to Desiree. Please forgive me if I got your spelling wrong but very much appreciated your help in transferring from large unit to smaller one. Dez was extremely helpful making sure I transferred unit without any extra rollover charges saving me for the month and thereafter. She walked out to meet me at my large unit, took info and set up all my paperwork for a simple sign and finish when I was ready. Extremely pleased once again, hats off Desiree!!!👍"
"I can't begin to tell you just how helpful these good folk were to me. They have to answer to the powers that be too but really will bend over backwards to do the best that they can. If I needed storage again I'd turn to life because of the good folk in Glastonbury CT. GBU and best wishes 😊😊😊😊😊"

"Used them twice -- the first time, Jayne and the staff were so helpful that I wanted to use them again! Recommended them to my friends as well. Genuinely nice and helpful people. If you're shopping on price and another unit costs $4 or $5 more a month, stick with Life Storage for the service, because it's worth it."
"I went to this storage facility to check on prices and rental information. Desiree greeted me with a great smile ! She was so kind and helpfull. She answered all my questions,she even gave me great suggestions on how to protect my things while they are being stored. I will return to rent my space here when I figure out my moving date, because of her excellent service.Thank you Desiree!!!"
"Right after the hurricane I had some issues making it difficult to pay my bill timely. The girl working, not Jane, listened to my problem patiently and addressed my issue quickly and I was able to resolve. She was very knowledgeable I thanked her and want to thank her now for her great assistance👌👍"
"Had a great experience with Liz and Eric and Jane at this facility. From signing up for a unit to when we moved out. Liz was especially helpful when we were packing up to leave. Very courteous, knowledgeable and kind, especially during this pandemic. Highly recommend this facility for storage."
"Liz was amazingggggg. She made everything so easy for us and was so patient while we switched sizes of units to a bigger size. It wasn’t working but she stayed past her day was supposed to be over to help us get the unit switched as well as get us the lower reserves correct pricing. She did it all with a smile on her face. I wish everyone treated their customers as well as she did. So glad we chose to rent a unit here! Thank you so much Liz!!!!"
"Liz over at life storage always has such a positive attitude and is always looking to help out customers whenever need be ! Great company great employees"
"I had a wonderful experience at Life Storage in Glastonbury, Connecticut today. I needed to access two storage bins which were locked and did not have the keys. I needed to provide legal documents to prove I was the owner as expected. I dealt with Liz and she was very helpful and pleasant to work with. She went above and beyond the call, cutting off the old locks for me and getting everything I needed to get my work done in a timely manner. 5 well-deserved stars for Liz at Life Storage in Glastonbury, Connecticut."
"Eric was great and walled me through whole process without issue! After long trip he made storage process easy and simple. I would recommend Life Storage for all your storage needs! Thanks again Eric!!"
"Eric was so helpful and made the whole process very simple! Couldnt have had a better experience! Thank you so much. 100% will recommend and use this service again."
"Great overall experience. Highly recommended!
I spoke with Eric over the phone looking to rent a storage unit. Literally within minutes he was able to find me the perfect unit within my budget."
"Eric from Life Storage in Glastonbury Ct was very polite and helpfull. I called the other day and inquired about a few things. He had all the answers and told me if I needed an air compressor for our car tires he had one and would be glad to help. Without his help we would never have been able to get the tires inflated. Eric was more than willing to go above and beyond. I would recommend this storage place for sure. Thank you Eric for all you did to help us."
"The facilities here are clean, well kept and secure. Eric was responsive and took care of us. We showed up without calling and he was prompt in taking care of our needs. He made us feel comfortable leaving our belongings here and assured us that if we ever needed anything that he had our backs. Great guy, great place, happy customer."
"Best customer service Ive ever had. Not an exaggeration. Friendly and helpful. Eric was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Ill be going here for all my storage needs."
"Stopped by there today and rented a unit from
Eric. He called me since I was late for my appointment and waited for me to arrive. Great service and he took the time to show me the unit and made sure my access code worked. Highly recommend!"
"I recently closed out my storage units with the Glastonbury location and I can't say enough about the wonderful service I received . Jayne and Eric are amazing!! They are very helpful, patient, and professional!! I really felt that my personal items were well protected and taken care of over the 1.5 years. I would strongly recommend this location to anyone."
"Had the opportunity to visit Life Storage in Glastonbury and met with Store Manager Eric . Hats off to Eric ... extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Not often I meet people in a customer service environment who just get it . Takes his job seriously, but the smile never left his face."
"I highly recommend this storage facility!
My family and I unexpectedly lost our Mom... We needed a storage unit ASAP.
A Mr. Eric Pagel assisted us in getting a unit that would serve our needs...
He was extremely accommodating and helpful...
He made this process easy for us during our time of crisis and grief.
And the property / units are well maintained which puts my mind at ease"
"Great location very convenient to town. Manager was extremely helpful in explaining the services and available units. Units are clean. Highly recommend!!"
"Eric Patel was extremely proactive in helping us find a larger storage unit, in close proximity to the current unit, and assisting us in moving some of the larger items. He was friendly and engaging and his assistance made the experience much easier and efficient than it had been prior to his arrival."
"Great service my items were well protected and from theft and wether moving in and out was a great experience staff is very helpful as well. Always left my unit in a good mood :)"

"My husband and I had a great experience using Life Storage for about six months while we were moving to our new home and sorting through 30 years worth of belongings from our old home. The two units that we rented were very clean and dry, in excellent condition, and easily accessible. Jayne and Darlene were extremely helpful and friendly. I'd definitely use Life Storage again."
"Darlene at your location in Glastonbury, CT is the most friendly and professional person. She always went out of her way to make sure our experience at LifeStorage was great. She also has a great enthusiasm for what she does. Thank You Darlene!
Peter"
"This was the cleanest place I have ever been and I have all white furniture so I am picky. The lady behind the counter was so helpful and honest about the charges and the hours of operation, I think her name was Darlene. I get there is nothing free but others get you in the door saying that but nothing is free and your lock end up being $50, not with this place if I added up the whole year and divided it by 12 we were saving 12% and that is where the others get you and there letting just anyone in at all hours
That is not where I want my belongings for security and this storage place has cameras that work not just for show. Thank you Darlene at Life storage for giving me confidence in your company and a clean place ."
"The office staff are all wonderful- especially Darlene! Super helpful and knowledgeable. Any and all questions or concerns I had were answered. Made it that much easier to make a decision on working with them! Hands down I would recommend Life Storage to anyone and everyone I know."
"I stopped by the office and had some questions about getting a unit as I will be moving soon and I was greeted by Darlene- she was very helpful and patient with me as I am under a lot of stress and don't know if I am coming or going. She really brightened my day, thank you!"
"Darlene and Jayne in the office are great! The facility is clean, well organized, and very friendly. Highly recommend Life Storage for your storage needs."
"Excellent service , reasonable prices , super customer service... the staff at this location is very pleasant, they provide clear information on the units and are eager to answer questions.
Both Darlene and Jane were great to deal with and went above and / beyond helping me with a recent unit rental.
They have secured units, with gate access. The area is well lit with security cameras. Offering 24/7 access to your units .
You can save an administration fee $25 if you do a rapid online reservation."
"Life Storage has been a life saver for us! As down sizers in a recent move, we could not have done it without the two storage units we needed to rent to store many treasured items. Knowing our items were safe, was a great comfort. The staff, Darlene and Jayne, could not have been more helpful and accommodating, in recommending the appropriate units, answering our questions, and giving helpful suggestions in packing certain items. Also, in the stress of moving, they always have been so supportive. Sue and Bill M."
"I arrived and was greeted by Darlene who was kind , patient and very informative with all my questions. She immediately put me at ease and made me feel very relaxed at the end of a chaotic and frenetic week. My cousin Art Bouchard recommended your facility highly and praised the staff repeatedly."
"I felt that the associate was extremely customer focused and interested in me. I was just gathering information but felt so comfortable that I made my decision to rent on the spot!"
"Darlene was super sweet and always very curious and helpful. In this day in age where it's difficult to find good service anywhere you go, she was also very kind, pleasant and greeted you with a smile. I would recommend others to use this location and service. Thank you!"
"Having previously rented from U-Haul, it was a pleasant surprise to be treated like an important customer. I would definitely recommend Uncle Bob's in Glastonbury to my colleagues."
"Just one thing: I initially "reserved" a storage space, then a week later came back to actually rent it. It would have been helpful if, when I reserved the space, the agent had reminded me that I would need my own padlock. I had assumed that Uncle Bob's supplies the locking device."
"Uncle Bob's at Oakwood Dr. in Glastonbury the outside electrical outlet at unit E23 does not work. The electrical outlet outside unit E17 does not work and it is not fastened to the building. You can pull it away from the building exposing the wiring. Safety hazard for sure, possible fire hazard. I have reported this to management 4 times in the last 6 months and the condition still exists. Please see what you can do to rectify this situation. All of the above notwithstanding, I am a very satisfied customer and the management people are superb."
"The associate was incredibly helpful, I had little knowledge about the renting and insuring process and she was patient and knowledgeable and helped me navigate the rental process easily and successfully. "
"I have rented at other storage places and was not satisfied. I found your staff welcoming and enthusiastic to get my business. They were as hlpful as one could expect."
"My storage unit remained dry throughout the winter and rainy spring season. The grounds were always accessible and the staff helpful (but not too inquiring..) This was my first experience renting a storage unit and Uncle Bob's exceeded my expectation. I even liked the convenient on-line payment method. No problems and I'll return if the need arises.
Thank you for running a competent helpful business of value. "
