"The manager is friendly and very knowledgeable. He was very helpful with some information that I needed. And he had suggestions that I didnt think about.
Great Guy🙂"
"I have been here before this was Life Storage, Life Storage with Mike is the best. Every time I've had an issue it has been taken care of. Mike and the team here go beyond to make sure clients are happy."
"Excellent service the employees are easy to talk to and very understanding are extremely quick to resolve any and all issues. I would highly recommended choosing life storage for all your storage needs!!"
"Renter beware - Double-digit storage rate increases common......
We received a ridiculous "didn't you read the fine print" response to our question about the anniversary present Life Storage and Joseph Saffire (CEO) gave us; a double-digit storage rate increase with little to no warning.
Staff at the local Sarasota, FL are very nice but the idea of a double-digit (13%) storage rate increase during a pandemic is ridiculous.
We are caught between a rock and a hard place as we are not close to our storage unit at the moment and can only answer their response; "if you don't like it move out" with "guess we will suck it up"."
"Very satisfied with my overall experience. The employee was very helpful. She was very nice, polite, knowledgeable, and she answered all my questions and I left feeling totally at ease with leaving my belongings there knowing that all my stuff is safe and in a very clean environment. Thank you again!"
"Had an awesome experience at my life storage on Bee Ridge rd ! Jane called me to tell that there was a smaller unit available , I was not looking forward to the move ! But Jane made everything so much easier ! And positive ! What a wonderful person , for helping me move my stuff to the smaller unit !!!"
"Great storage place, pay your bill online, perfect for people who don't "people". Clean facility, gated, easy gate access, no unnecessary security theatre. Reasonable rates for the area, and a very convenient location to me, it's less than two minutes from my house."
"If there is an award that your corporation gives for the BEST customer service, Mike should get it! From the moment my husband and myself walked in the service has been impeccable. Bar none. We had gone across the street prior but experienced quite the opposite. Mike was very welcoming and hospitable. The faclities are clean and was secure to giving the appearance of Ft. Knox."
"Quiet and decently clean lot and hallways. But I found 2 dead roaches in my unit as I was just moving my stuff in. At least they were dead. They Can't control what other people move in. If you work a regular 9-5 job this is not the place for you because you'll never be able to get to your unit. The hours are 9:30a-6p weekdays and 12p-4p on weekends."
"Exceptional experience from start to finish. Jane and Mike made sure everything I needed was taken care of. Highly recommend this location to anyone."
"Recently / 1st timer won a storage unit at Life Storage. When I arrived, I was greeted by Jane, she was beyond pleasant, accommodating, and very personable. Showed me the Facilty, everything I would need to know and I truly felt like I knew the place inside and out. Not only was it a great facility it was very inviting, bottomline great experience, Jane was absolutely wonderful and I recommend this location and some.
Thanks again Jane."
"It wouldnt let me give zero stars so unfortunately I chose one. If you like getting your storage unit burglarized, then this is your place. Had my storage unit robbed and the facility decided not to look at the video footage to see who did it. They repeatedly refused to provide any information at all as to what happened or why they refuse to check the video. Complete joke of a business. Worst customer service Ive ever dealt with. Recap: Got robbed, no video was checked, got no answers at all from anyone. Stay away if you hope to keep your belongings."
"I think Im being generous with the two stars. Basically I feel its important for people to know that making a payment over the phone or on the internet shouldnt be a charge for convenient. If you happen to fall a little behind on a bill. Yikes its pretty high. I wasnt to please with the unit on first inspection ether. Found a bag of rat poison. Ive been paying for this this unit for about a year. Expressed my concerns with all of the staff members. To no avail. The unit is dry, so thats nice..."
"Jane was awesome, very informative. She made sure we didn't leave without making the right storage space options. I suggest you use life storage, very clean and secure."
"I worked with Jane to secure my storage unit ! She was so friendly and patient working with me to figure out the unit that was right for me! 5 stars in customer service !! Very refreshing!!"
"Moving is stressful enought. Jane at the front desk made it alot less stressful! my first experience at a storage facility, life storage gets 5 starts all day!!"
"I needed a storage unit in hurry! Life storage was fast, friendly and efficient! The store manager Jane returned my call from corporate and have everything set up me with my reservation. Once I arrived at the location she was friendly and her customer service skills are great. Easy access and a clean place! I will refer them to one I know who needs unit!"
"I dint like the way they treated me I have a hard time getting my money back for the space that I rent by mistake I have the wrong size I was told that I was going to loose my money because they dont refund money so I went across the street to public storage and I get the right size that I need and they were very nice people very good customer service no problems at all"
