"We used your Gandy Blvd store in St. Pete and Nicole took care of everything we needed. She was amazingly nice to us and completely charmed my children. The price of storing was high for my tastes, however, I would use you again simply because of the impression she made on us. We had great experience because of her!"

"Your people and their attention to cleanliness and service are exceptional. Stayed longer at higher price, further distance because the front office mgr & asst were so personable and professional. That said, you have a lot of competition now, so I moved closer to my house and saved $25/month - quite a lot. Lower your prices for longterm clients and folks might just stay. Thanks!"

"Your employee (George) was professional, but friendly. He showed several choices and explained why, in My situation, he chose those spaces. He also helped calculate the size necessary. It was the perfect size, any smaller would not have worked. Your prices are high and location hazardous with the road construction, but I purchase things based on people integrity too - that is
largly why I stayed with this choice."

"I reserved a 5 x 10 storage space, but was not able to arrive on the day originally scheduled. However, Nicole was kind enough to extend my reservation for 3 days, and I was able to rearrange my schedule to arrive then. I was concerned that I would lose the reservation since this location was sold out of that size unit. "

"You guys totally met my expectations. I really liked the fact that you offer a free moving truck! That is a great perk. Should I ever need another stage unit in the future I will be sure to use Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]. I will be referring any friends and family as well. I never had any worry that something would happen to my belongings as they were stored at Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]. Keep up the great work! :-) "
