"This is a very competitive market and I feel as if this facility was exactly what I was looking for. When I got there Nicole really went out of her way to show me around and to explain to me the prices and any necessary information that I will need. Prior to moving my things to the unit, she was very helpful by calling me regularly Ilif I had any questions and staying proactive throughout the whole experience. I really don't give anyone five stars unless they really deserve it but this location and Nicole really deserve it thank you guys God bless."
"Nicole was awesome. Very friendly and super funny. Sign up process was easy and quick. Prices are better than a lot of other storage places. Very convenient location. Thanks Nicole 😁"
"Excellent customer service, over and above working to find the correct size storage unit for us. Very pleased with Shawna she’s definitely the one to go too!"
"I had to leave a review...I accidentally went to the wrong location (all I had was the reservation number) and I spoke with Shawna she was so sweet!! She wrote down the correct address and phone number to help me find the correct location, she was super helpful!!"
"I can tell when the manager is working because the property is very clean and always smells good. She is the reason my family uses that storage facility."
"The lady at the front desk was really nice and helpful. I bought a bunch of moving supplies and she gave me a discount and help me load everything into the car."
"Shawna is great! Her customer service skills are on point as well as her management of the facility. I highly recommend this storage facility. It is sparkling clean and employs energy conservation efforts, such as motion sensor activated lighting. I look forward to remaining a client here."
"ms Shawna has a great attitude and was very helpful i would give her 10 stars if I could I will always come back here if I need a storage space ever again"
"Shawna showed me the unit space and answered all of my questions prior to me committing to purchasing a unit. She was so pleasant, kind, and helpful throughout my visit at LifeStorage. Thank you for your assistance, Shawna!"
"This place is a scam. They for one, talked us into a smaller unit (a 5x10 for a 2b/2b) so now we have to rent ANOTHER unit from them. They advertise a FREE van for moving but its the only van they have for all of their locations. We can’t even reserve it for a week out. And even if we could, we’d have to drive way out of our way to get it. Lesson learned. Just another headache to deal with... like moving isn’t stressful enough."
"Shawna was very professional, she answered all of our questions and took care of everything for us in a timely fashion! Not to mention the location was very clean."
"Shawna was amazing and very professional. This place is awesome to store long term or short term. Shout out to Nicole the Store Manager always friendly."
"Mrs nichole was a great help. Her customer service skills are exceptional and i wish more people responded as appropriately to my questions as she did. This lady deserves a raise. Thanks nichole for all your help."
"We’ve had our stuff in life storage for awhile. I know my stuff is safe and I have nothing to worry about. Nichole in the front is the sweetest person ever. Nightly recommend!"
"Dana was very friendly and went above and beyond to help me find a unit that fit my stuff. I wasn’t sure if my equipment would fit, but he even toured me around the unit to confirm it would fit. Awesome customer service."
"Nichole was an excellent agent! She not only helped me sign up online but when I showed up to view my unit she personally took me to see it. I was going to rent a smaller unit but after she asked me for the dimensions of the boxes she helped me realize that I needed a slightly larger unit. She applied no pressure but gave me information that I needed to make my decision. She is not only professional, Nichole has a wonderful personality. I recommend LifeStorage to anyone in the Saint Petersburg/Clearwater area in need of a storage space."
"Best prices I could find. Self-serve, online rental process was seamless and flawless, from signup to accessing the unit. You can use your own homeowner's insurance and lock to bypass additional charges. Great customer experience; the office manager Nicole goes above and beyond to greet new customers face-to-face and to provide advice and answer questions. The facility is secure and very clean--even the office smells amazingly fresh."
"Nichole was super helpful with getting us setup with a new storage unit. Great customer service and thorough explanations of everything. Would definitely recommend Life Storage on Gandy!"
"Excellent storage facility, clean and secure. 🔐
I was nervous about leaving all my important things, but Ms Nichole answered all of my questions and made me feel confident that I was in good hands! Highly recommended! A+"
"Nicole is always in great spirits and such great help to us. Pulling up to the storage facility we look forward to her genuine smile and her slight -quite warming- hand gesture (the ✌🏻 sign). She is always even keel, and just pleasant to be around. Its the perfect location in which fits our needs as we visit quite often. Please let Nicole know we appreciate her >>> Thank You Life Storage!"
"The Manager at this location was super helpful, courteous and made the experience easy. We were recommended by a friend to go to this Life Storage and we are glad we did."
"Nicole is a life saver. I arrived in FL having a 10x20 unit at another place but the door was too small for my trailer. I was in a real jam. I started calling around and many places didn’t even know the measurements of their drive up doors. Long story short - Nicole saved me. She knew exactly my situation. Had me bring down my truck and trailer and we did a test fit. After dealing with 15+’self storage places in area I was getting frustrated with terrible service or people who lacked the basic common sense to understand my situation. Nicole is smart, friendly and clearly got hustle. If looking for storage in area stop In see her. Avoid the other clowns in the business."
"Great place, very clean and friendly. Nicole, very nice worker made it very easy and simple to get set up. Any questions, comments, or concerns she’s ready to help."
"The store manager Nichole Morta was such a help. She not only provided me excellent service but also helpful advice. Love is always love and I would recommend this storage unit to anyone looking for a reliable storage facility"
"Alyssa was very nice and professional. She worked very quickly and easily was able to help me with my storage needs. If I need another storage unit, I will definitely come back."
"I have had an amazing experience and everything was thoroughly explained to me. Nichole was extremely helpful and very personable and friendly. The facility is very clean and I'm happy to use this location! Thank you!!"
"Renting with this Life Storage facility for the second time. The location staff has always been incredibly helpful and pleasant during all the processes involved in our moving and storage. Highly recommend!"
"We recently started leasing a storage space and we are so happy that we did. We went to life storage inquiring anout their storage units to see what would work for us. We weren't quite sure what we wanted, but when we talked to Aly it was pretty easy to make the decision. She was so friendly and helpful that what started as an inquiry ended up being a perfect fit for us! Such an easy process. We were very pleased with the cleaniness of the facility and the prices. We will definitely recommend life storage on Gandy from now on."
"The Life Storage facility located at 1159 94th Avenue North in St. Petersburg, FL was very clean and accessible. The manager, Laidy Moore, was friendly and courteous. The site and unit was clean. The unit itself was dry and large enough to hold our furniture and belongings. The only thing about the facility is the pathways are narrow causing some difficulty driving down them."
"The team was super helpful and made sure I had all of my questions answered. They let me see the space first to make sure it was the best fit! Nicole and Alyssa are the best!"
"Had to throw some apartment stuff in a unit before I move in August, and it was very simple and easy! Pleasant staff and very accommodating. The property was clean and nice and they everything you needed to easily move your stuff from the UHaul to the storage unit."
"This was by far the best experience I have ever had with any rental company. Alyssa was absolutely amazing. She was very welcoming and took care of all of my needs quickly and efficiently. Life storage will now be my preferred choice of storage companies."
"Great customer service on deciding which unit size would be best for me. Quick and easy process on setting up auto payments. Thank you Nicole for everything. I highly recommend them."
"Nichole and Alyssa were incredible and extremely helpful. We have rented Rented here with them once before and couldnt be more happy with the service this place provides and the friendliness of the employees! 10/10"
"911-Our gal was Andrea or Nicole. Sorry I suck with names. She is amazing! We had a great laugh with her. Amazing top shelf customer service. If I had a business she is who I'd want to be the face of it!"
"I am glad that I chose this location of life storage. I am from out of state and I just moved here and I didnt like other storage units in the area until I found this location. Nicole the manager has helped me in every way I can imagine through this moving process. She showed me clean units until i found one that suited me. She showed me where all the emergency exits are and all the push cart locations. She is very knowledgeable and very friendly. I will recommend this location for sure"
"Extremely great customer service experience! I had to complete my rental at the office vs their online 'no contact' option due to tech issues. Which was not a problem. Both employees ( who wore masks ) were extremely friendly and funny. They made the rental process smooth and simple. They also gave me tips for when my movers bring my items. Very much appreciated!"
"Nicole was amazing to work with from start to finish, I had a very difficult situation going through a divorce and she made sure she was able to facilitate all the needs of getting movers in and out. Gave me an amazing deal on the storage unit. And stayed in contact every step of the way during the transitional move between house and unit."
