"DO NOT RENT FROM THIS LOCATION! I chose this location based on my prior experience with Life Storage in Sarasota. HOWEVER, they mishandled theft that occurred at the Manatee Avenue Bradenton location.
We were called about 6 weeks ago and told that there was site-wide theft that occurred but that our unit was not affected. But our door had been damaged from someone trying to get in. Because of this, we were unable to access our belongings for a least 2 weeks, while they repaired the door. We were told we were welcome to come down but that our possessions were stuck in there until they could get it fixed. They ended up waiving the rent that month (after we insisted) but 2 weeks turned into 4 weeks. About that time, they said it was fixed and they provided us with a new lock and keys. Stating that a new lock was better. We were not present when our unit was accessed to fix the door. We were just called when it was done. We never received any official correspondence over this issue- which is why the dates are not firm. No emails, no letters, no procedures, or forms to fill out if there was a problem. Not even a number to call.
Last weekend, we went into our unit and discovered that the entirety of our 10 X 10 unit had been tossed. Every bin had been gone through and many of our belongings were missing. There was no one on property when we discovered this, so we called and left a VM and asked that someone get back to us right away. Two days passed and we never got a call back. We also tried calling them (during posted business hours) over those 2 days, but no one ever answered the phone.
We showed up in person on the third day and asked to speak with a manager. The front desk employee called a manager and spoke to her in front of us, but we were not given the opportunity to speak directly to them. The result was "the problem is that we assumed that your unit was not broken into". YES, that is the problem. There was SITE WIDE theft and you assumed and told us that our space was secure. Question: was our lock still on our door at the time of the site wide theft? Did you remove our lock when you repaired the door? If the thief that robbed everyone else's possessions took our stuff, our lock would have to have been removed. Or was it still on our unit when the door was fixed and THAT'S when our things were taken? We'll never know.
Even if Life Storage is the victim, every part of this was mishandled.
We decided to move out immediately and asked that the current month be prorated, and we be given a refund for the unused portion. The answer was no- that they already gave us a month free?? We were given the number of the regional manager and we left a VM, called several times but no call back. Not even an apology.
If you want your things safe, DON'T RENT FROM THIS COMPANY!"
"Theresa Price is the best! So helpful and saved me a ton of money. I'm seriously happy with the experience. I can't believe I waited so long to get rent a storage space!
Richard Tonkin"
"Theresa at LifeStorage might be the nicest and most professional store manager I’ve ever met. She was helpful over the phone and in person, listened to our needs and even referred us to another location, helped make that reservation and was kind enough to honor the special we had at her location. Don’t look anywhere else- if you need storage - call Theresa at LifeStorage."
"This is a great place. It is clean and well maintained. The owner and operator, Theresa, is extremely kind, helpful, and easy to reach. She was like this on the day I moved my belongings in until the day I moved my belongings out. I would recommend this storage unit to anyone who needs extra space."
"I just recently signed up to rent a storage unit and couldn’t make the move-in date, they changed it for me without any problems at all. I highly recommend this place if you need storage. The staff there is the best"
"Theresa as absolutely wonderful! She called to confirm that I was on my way and I think she even delayed her lunch for me, which I feel terrible about. I was going to rent 2 units, but I didn't realize the price was just for the locker. Had no idea that I had to pay for insurance which covers way more than what I have stored. BUT, Theresa explained it to me , sympathized with me and because she was so understanding and kind, I rented the space! She was GREAT!! If you want a unit, make sure Theresa is there to help! Customer service at it's best!"
"Not a bad place its very clean and you cant enter it after 9pm but ive only been there 3 months and they already raised the fees 20 dollars now I just wonder how often this is going to happen. It looks like i gotta move my stuff to a place that doesn't price gouge"
"Amanda signed me up for my storage unit I had an incredible experience they were very friendly, very accommodating, and very easy to work with. Very clean facility very nice storage unit. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a storage unit they made this process so easy for me."
"Amanda and Theresa offer exceptional and seamless service. They are warm, kind spirits, who both offer outstanding customer experience. They even listened to my whole story about why I needed storage and helped me select my perfect storage space. It’s been a true happy service today! I highly recommend this location."
"I had multiple units, come to find out. Not one of them actually measure to be the size they claimed they were. TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED. This company is going downhill fast! So they lied to me, raised my rent, changed what I thought was my agreement, and (New Staff ) super rude to my brother who was just helping me. I do NOT RECOMMEND THEM! A lot of better places to store my stuff."
"Theresa was absolutely great and very supportive in everything! The place was clean and well maintained, and she explained all the details on spot professional and very friendly. Thank you Theresa :)"
"These reviews are definitely added by Theresa, her sister and friends. Everyone that's makes there usually can find them outside @ any location chain smoking cigarettes! I have children that have to be exposed to their poor behavior. There's no reason they should be smoking directly by the doors customers use. RATES RISE EVERY MONTH!! I'm sure they can edit it and adjust whatever they want. A lot of fraudulent activity goes on through them. Do not rent unless extreme emergency."
"I had s great experience in this location. Everyone was kind and helpful. From Theresa to Kevin and another lady that made my check out very easy and simple. No hassle what so ever. Loved them. I would use them again"
"Thank you to Kevin for being such an informative person, he went above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service!! I truly appreciate the time and effort!"
"Sierra was very patient and helpful for the set up process. It was much easier than I thought, and I’m so glad I got such a good deal on storage. I highly recommend Life storage!"
"Switched storage facilities because of rate change!!! Theresa was wonderful and totally understood our frustration. Process was quick and use of their van was ideal!!! I would strongly reccommend this facility, AWESOME!"
"My husband and I went to a couple other storage units (that were a bit on the scary side) before finding Life Storage. We were so relieved to have found a nice, secure and clean place to store our belongings. A very huge thank you to Karen for all of her help with finding us the perfect unit. Keen was very friendly and extremely helpful. Definitely a 5 star from us!"
"Easy to make payments online. Easy to access the property. Just an easy place to do business with. And the prices are competitive with the other storage facilities."
"Great Experience from beginning to end. Staff is always kind and understanding and helpful - they never hesitate to make you smile.
Unit was as advertised, outdoor but climate controlled - minimal issues there.
Definitely would use again"
"Walked in just to check out prices. Becky and Theresa greeted us with a huge smile and were exceptional helpful in finding us our very first storage unit! They showed us what was available and they beat every price in town! I was happy to see them using covid-19 precautions in a very clean environment. Thanks ladies for taking great care of us!!"
"Becky, the ASM. Went above and beyond with her customer service. I am beyond impressed. I have rented from a few storages in my lifetime and the management is horrible often times. But, Life Storage Manatee Ave W, get 2 thumbs up!"
"I have used this storage unit location several times, and it is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Teresa , Becky, and Michelle are super sweet, helpful, and FUN. So professional and just made the move even more enjoyable!!! Highly recommend!!!!!"
"Becky and Thereasa were very polite and helpful with finding me the right size unit I needed. I was very satisfied and felt welcome with there service 😁"
"Becky is awesome! Becky and Theresa were both very helpful, informative, and positive. I had a pleasant experience here at Life Storage off Manatee Ave. I definitely recommend"
"Fantastic friendly staff, Theresa & Becky are wonderful!!!! They helped me from beginning to end with ease to rent an affordable unit to fit my needs. They have a clean, safe & organized facility and I have no worries that my belongings are in excellent care. They go above and beyond to get you what you need."
"Walking into any storage place can be a little overwhelming... So many questions... What size do you need? Is there enough room? The guessing whether or not you need climate controlled or just regular storage...etc... as a single mom with twins In the middle of a move, I was already stressed.... Becky at Life Storage on Manatee Ave made our experience simple & streamline. She even went out of her way to make the kids feel comfortable & appreciated by complimenting them on their hard work & help. I absolutely cannot express how wonderful the customer service is!! I’ll always be a Life Storage customer whenever We are in need of a unit..."
"Use this place for short term emergencies only. It's conveniently located, and the units are spacious enough. But don't leave anything there that can be ruined by humidity longer than you have to. These units are not climate-controlled, and whatever you leave in them will feel the hot and humid air of Bradenton. Yes, your stuff will be protected from direct rain, but the humid air itself will be the equivalent of rain, so protect things well if you are leaving them there longer than 60 days.
And you don't want to be there longer than 60 days. These corporate predators will hike your rent soon, or find some pretext to assess a fee. For example, they keep no dumpster on the premises so they can fine anyone who leaves anything behind. And there's no discussing anything with these corporate sociopaths. They don't care. Was not always the case, but they were acquired by some real scumbags. So use them--and lose them."
"Amazing customer service from Becky. Amazingly understanding and flexible with a fluid situation re: storing my vehicle. Would absolutely 5000% store here again"
"Theresa helps us out so much after we were rudely greeted at CubeSmart literally down the road from this life storage, but we came to Theresa at life storage and she helped us out by getting us a 5x10 unit that can fix out 3 piece king size bedroom set, even thought CubeSmart said a 5x10 won’t be able to fit it. Sad for CubeSmart they lost a customer!!! But y’all go and check out my dog Theresa she’ll get you right on storage I highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Great place, very knowledgeable with customers, very helpful. Becky did a fantastic job with us handling the transaction and her spunky energy was awesome. I recommend Life storage and will use them again."
"I would just like to say that the manager Theresa of The Life storage on manatee avenue Bradenton Is Awesome!!! She has the greatest personality and her customer service skills are top notch .110%.
she has gone above and beyond for me .. she is so Courteous of my needs .. I would think either she needs a raise in pay or a major promotion.. so happy with her !!!!!"
"First time renting a storage unit and I decided to go with life storage because I saw a lot of positive reviews online and the storage facility is close to my home as well as great deals compared to other competitors. Becky greeted me warmly and showed me to my unit. She explained to me everything that I needed to know about the facility and how to properly store items and pack them as well as finding a lock and the best insurance for my needs. She was a great help and made the whole process easy. Already feel at home."
"Just shopping around looking for prices on storage and the manatee location was very helpful. The rep Becky gave me all the info I needed and was very patient with all my questions. I am glad they have a staff that cares about their customers."
"Received wonderful service from John, today. He was a very efficient and helpful with the process of renting a storage unit. Quick and easy. Facility seems clean and secure. I left as a happy customer! Thank you."
"Had 2 units here for 10+ years and never had any problems. Very nice facility, clean and very well taken care of. Teresa the manager is sooo wonderful."
"While our time at Life Storage was short, Theresa Price was wonderful from our first meeting. She is kind, gracious, accommodating and certainly knows her facility. She is also extremely fair and goes the extra distance to care for her customers. My recommendation of Life Storage is the direct result of our experience with Theresa. Many thanks and gratitude to her.
Bonnie & Jill"
"Life Storage is an excellent storage place. The manager Therasa is the best extremely knowledgeable and helpful! Supplies are a good deal in the office too."
"I needed to rent a unit today at the last minute and as always Theresa was wonderful, she really goes the extra mile. I've been renting with Life Storage for over 5 years without incident. I would and do highly recommend them (Life Storage) often. Check them out. They have everything you could possibly need for a successful move from the truck right down to the tape and they throw in a dolly to boot! And if you're lucky when you get there Theresa will be working. Please, be sure to tell her that Toni says hello! Happy packing!
Sincerely
Toni B"
"Excellent service and excellent price. I rented out the smallest space for almost a year. I have no complaints. I just moved into a condo with storage space and didnt need to rent a space anymore, but would use them again in a heartbeat."
"The team at Life Storage was amazing to work with! The price was great, the facility is spotless and there are no tricks or hidden fees. Theresa and Jonathan were so helpful!"
"The assistant manager, Jon, was fabulous to work with. He was efficient and friendly. We needed two units and he helped us save money by determining the right size/available discounts. I'd highly recommend Life Storage."
"As soon as I walked into the office I was greeted by Jon. He was very friendly and most importantly, very knowledgeable. He gave me information and I was able to reserve a storage unit. Several days later when I began to move my items, I was welcomed by another associate. I regret that I do t remember her name, but she, too, was very friendly and knowledgeable. She showed me to my storage unit and even took me outside so that I could see where I should pull my car to unload. The facility is very clean."
"I have stored before at a couple of competitors locally and Life Storage is by far, hands down the cleanest facility I have stored at. Jon was amazing!! I came in close to closing on a Friday and thankfully he was VERY patient with me and walked me through to find the perfect unit for my needs! He made my move in seamless and effortless. Thank you SO much Jon for all of your help! I appreciate your time and promptness!!"
"Came in for storage and Jonathan and Theresa helped me get into a larger unit for less than advertised!!!! They are amazing to work with. Great customer service."
"Amazing customer service! Theresa went above and beyond to assist me with moving and storage questions. She is so friendly! Everyone I have spoken with has been so great. I can not reccomend this storage facility enough. Especially if your like me and moving your belongings across country!"
"I was greeted with 2 smiles from John & Theresa when I came in to get information about renting storage SPACE. They both were very helpful and got me in that day of need. I would recommend Life Storage to ALL of my family and friends that need a space to store all of their cherished belongings. Thank You John and Theresa for making my experience a great one!!"
"Manager Teresa goes above and beyond to help customers find the right size unit at the best price and to assist customers however she can to make their move a most pleasant experience"
"Infested with rats and spiders. Our property was covered with rat urine and feces. We immediately moved out upon discovery of the unacceptable conditions kept by management, and were told that they already treat for this and they'll be doing nothing to make it right for us. We had to throw away hundreds of dollars in belongings. Disgusting."
"Called and went to three different storage facilities only to realize that they neglected to disclose all fees such as locks, insurance, tax. All I wanted was an accurate price, thats it. I went online and found that not only was this business the only one that was up front and honest, but they were the least expensive and had excellent customer service. Ill never shop around for storage units again in the future, Im just giving Ms Thereasa a call."
"Great place Jon was amazing and helpful very attentive and explained everything well. Well engaged and when I mentioned I was storing Furry costumes he assured me they were in good hands. He didnt make me feel uncomfortable when I mentioned it."
"can I just start by saying AMAZING? This place was super clean and the staff was very helpful, I needn't had to worry about anything involving the process of getting a unit for my ever expanding collections, John was super helpful with helping me pick out the right unit and can i also mention the prices are super affordable especially on my budget. He was upfront honest and even helped me find my units location. And the location? Great! Right next to my favorite fast food place! All around 5 stars will recommend! Thanks again life storage your guy John was awesome will be back!"
"This place is hands down the best!!! Honestly the staff is exceptionally friendly and very helpful I would recommend anyone who's needing a place they can trust."
"Phenomenal experience with life storage. Best prices in town along with a very clean facility. The manager (Jon) made me feel really welcome and took care of me quickly. Thanks again life Storage!!!"
"Thank you Theresa and Jon it was a nice meeting you both and painting your doors and floors hope you love the new look .thanks again,from Sean,and,Dan the crew and from four seasons painting ."
"Manager is super friendly went in to purchase boxes for a client told her I would be back wemt back 2 weeks later she remembered my name and exactly what I needed."
"I shopped around at multiple places before deciding on life storage. They are by far the cleanest facility in Bradenton and the staff is HELPFUL. Kaitlyn showed me 5 units before I made up my mind and never once showed frustration. She had me sold by the time the viewings were done!!!!! GREAT PLACE"
"Wonderful experience renting with life storage. Clean facility and the staff is super friendly. The manager made me feel really welcome and made my moving experience worlds better. Thanks again life storage"
"I originally made my reservation online. Their website is not very user friendly but the assistant store manager was!!! She had all my paperwork done and me out the door in 15-20 minutes!!! Best storage in Bradenton!"
"Out of this world customer experience at this facility! Kaitlyn was very knowledgeable of the property and was able to answer all my tough questions. If you are looking for a place to store.... ask for Kaitlyn!!!!!"
"Please read this: Do not rent at Life Storage. When I was looking for a unit to rent, I was told by two (2) Staff Members on two occasions one the Assistant Manager, that my rate "would not go up for at least a year, maybe longer" and that "they don't do business the same way as Public Storage." Guess what; 9 months after renting there, my rate went up $20.00 per month due to "supply and demand." When I asked if it would go down when demand went down, the answer was a resounding, "No." The Staff Members are trained liars, plain and simple. They are trained to tell you what you want to hear to get you in the door. Buyer beware: DO NOT RENT AT LIFE STORAGE. The response I received to EVERY question I asked after receiving this rate increase started with, "we understand your disappointment ..." Again, they are trained to lie...DO NOT RENT AT LIFE STORAGE."
"I recommend Life Storage it's always clean and the staff are really nice whatever you need they are always there for you. Katie's the one that I have dealt with and she is fantastic so she will be the one that I deal with every time I need something from Life Storage. Thank you life storage"
"My job requires the use of a storage facility. I have set up accounts in 25 states and never have i been treated so well as i was by the manager here. Made me feel like i was at home and super professional and freindly. Thersa price is amazing at her job. Thank you so much"
"We would just like our refund for December soon. The only reason we left was we are downsizing and had room in our garage for the things we had been storing."
"The office personnel have always been extremely pleasant and helpful. We originally moved from another state and had to take care of several things long distance to set up the unit. We couldn't have asked for any better service. "
"Associates have been very helpful each time I have called or come by the facility. The space was just what I expected and I was able to accommodate all of my stored belongings."
"There could be another cart available for use, It appears that there is only one cart and one hand truck and if 2 people are trying to move "stuff" at the same time, that creates a problem."
"It was a shame that your price jumped so much after just one year of using your place. It became too much money for the space and we then worried that the next year it would just get higher too. For this reason alone I don't know if I would recommend your place. "
"The entire process went quickly, the attendant took us by golf cart, to see the unit before we signed the contract She was very polite and we were able to move our things into the unit right away once the papers were signed. "
"We couldn't believe how nice not only the employees we have dealt with Alyssa & Dan but the overall facility!! Very very well ran operation. We are in business ourselves. The owners whoever they are should be very happy to have such professional and friendly help working for them! Will tell all our friends about Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]
Dinah & Bob Gredy
"
"When I was ready to place my articles in storage, I had to wait about 10 minutes for the Associate to open the office even though it was during business hours. The Associate was elsewhere on the property (according to a sign on the door)."
"Bathrooms need to be cleaned throughout the day.
Trash Can.s needed next to doors
It is now dark & hard to see. It appears that you may be trying to lower your Electric cost. You may want to consider timers on all the lights. They wil come on when needed & go off when not, thus helping both of us"
"Alyssa was wonderful. We decided to upgrade the space at the last minute and she was great. She helped me with process very quickly yet professional manner. I would highly recommend Uncle Bob's Self Storage."
"I was very satisfied using Uncle Bob's storage. If I could change anything it would have been the price!! It was clean and I felt my things were in a room in "my home". I would not think twice about using your storage unit if the need arises."
"For the first time in 5 years, I forgot a payment and arrived to find I had no access. I did have to wait as your agent was busy with another customer. But I was very pleased that she could resolve the matter with an immediate payment and did not charge me a penalty. I would expect that as a loyal customer."
"I was given information on the phone about security locks and supplies being available at your location, which was very helpful to me. It was pouring rain that day and saved me another trip out in the weather."
"I was a customer for 3 years and I was always treated with courtesy and in a professional manner. I will call on you again if my future needs call for a storage facility. "
"Other than having to sweep out the unit before occupying it, the overall experience was great! Kathryn was extremely knoweledgeable and took the time to answer my many questions!"
