Take a look at all the good things our customers say about this Life Storage, and all of our stores! It thrills us to give customers the best customer service possible, and to hear when they are pleased with how we have taken care of their storage needs.
"Jesus is very quick, kind and informative with his storage facilities! The process was painless an got my storage unit with 15 mins! He takes you to the lot as well to take a look at the unit before deciding to make a lease commitment."
"Extremely easy process, Orlando took great care of everything I needed and got me set up really quickly. He was very courteous, thorough in explaining the process, guidelines and rules, and had a pleasant attitude the whole time."
"I see a lot of high reviews lately but we're more than disappointed. I know there were other reviews about the mice but now I don't see those. For months now there have been mice in the units that have chewed into a lot of our stuff, some of which is irreplaceable. When we asked about it they guy (although very nice) just said they could basically spray some sort of repellent. But...why aren't they doing that anyway since they know there's a big problem with them? In fact, the first time my husband spoke to a lady about it and he was told pest control was coming out the following week. We've cleaned up their remnants several times since so they're obviously still an issue. We won't even know the extent of the damages until we move our stuff out, so that's a huge bummer.
To top that off, our unit continues to go up. They raised it twice last year. I don't even know how they can do it this was because from my understanding we had a year agreement... but our agreement started in August 2020. In Feb 2021 they raised it,, then again in November 2021. We're now being told that as of August this year our rate will be over $180/ month for a basic, small, non climate-controlled unit with our things being destroyed daily.This includes the insurance which mind you, does NOT cover mice. God forbid we end up paying late because it'll be over $200 with the late fee. Bottom line, dude is nice... but what you receive for what you're paying is not equal, and your stuff might just get eaten."
"I shopped for days looking for the perfect combo of an rv spot and garage spot at the same facility.
After speaking with Jesus and he shared the availability with me it was a no-brainer to choose to store here!"
"Jesus is AMAZING!!! Super sweet and helpful!!! Im really happy I chose this facility just because of him. 10/10 would recommend off of service alone."
"Life storage manager Jesús went above and beyond for us. They very cooperative and makes it a great place to be. Kudos to Life Storage for having such nice Representation."
"I've had my unit for more than 5yrs.... honestly didn't think it would be this long.....I've spoken with a number of employees over this time while only 1 has been worth the time to speak with. Presently Mardi is who I've recently conducted business with...very pleasant, on point with knowing which hat to wear....laid back enough to listen then approach the issue. I recently downsized and every but of the way Mardi was consistent in manner. While I've never had a storage unit prior Life Storage and Mardi have made up in character what former employees have lacked. I appreciate doin business there, trust my items are safe, and grateful to be able to cover my expenses affordably. Thank you LS, Mardi.... truly grateful....would I recommend...of course...makes sense to believe others would have a great experience as well."
"I have rented a couple of locations around my area and non compared to this one. We have two storages and Mardi has been exceptional when getting us the best price for the units. You can tell this is a good location since almost all of the units are filled. Insurance offered here is very"
"Amazing Staff!!!! The lockers are very nice, even the ones tucked in the hallways have airflow and lighting. This place is very clean, well lit, easy access gate code and staff willing to help in anyway. Highly recommend and feel safe with your locker being protected."
"Looking for a storage place I went online and found this place had great prices. I was kindly greeted by Mardi. She gave me great rates and quickly showed me the unit available. We are very satisfied with the service and will be recommending this storage facility to my friends and family. Thank you Mardi!"
"Great experience! Storage facility is nice and clean. Mardi was absolutely wonderful! Very knowledgeable and extremely nice. Highly recommend this facility."
"This location is a BLESSING to my family, recently moved to Tampa and had a situation with my apartment and Marty helped me more than words can describe. This location is from HEAVEN!!! THANK YOU WE ARE FOREVER THANKFUL!!!"
"I purchased a storage unit here !!! I have never seen such rat damage and debris in units in my life when I let Marty know that there was a huge rat problem.she said we try to maintain pest control but this is fla . If I paid to store my stuff and came back to everything chewed up by rats and dropping all over the unit on everything I would be livid. Do yourself a favor avoid storage here."
"I went in and got a 5x10 unit after unpacking half my belongings I realized it wasn't going to fit. The lady in the office was nice helped me get into the proper size unit and was overall a huge help."
"Life storage was simple easy and quick , access is easy and the unit is perfect , the unit door opens up smooth and the locks close great , I had a storage unit at uhaul and had nothing but problem with these things ! Also customer service is awesome and Mardi was so nice and helpful !"
"Extremely clean location! Very conveniently located. Very secure. Outstanding friendly staff. I’ve had nothing but positive encounters with both Marty and Jesus anytime I visit with them. I love the fact that they have an after hours number in case of an emergency. I am so happy I chose Life Storage! I would highly recommend them!!!"
"Mardi is FANTASTIC! I was pressed for time being as though they open at 9:30am and I had to be at work at 10. Mardi arrived earlier than opening time (wasn’t expecting that) and took care of everything I needed! We talked over my contract the day before so it was a matter of a couple signatures and I was out of the door! She was quick, efficient, AND extremely accommodating. She arrived early! Gave me 24 hour access to the facility being as though I got off work at 7pm and they close at 9! And their rates are AMAZING! (As I’m currently paying $170 with compass self storage!) This is one HAPPY & SATISFIED customer! I HIGHLY recommend Life Storage!!!"
"I have rented from here for almost two years and the staff is always friendly and professional. The facility is always clean with new doors and it has been recently paved and they do property rounds often. I had an issue with my door running off the track and Jesus was quick to repair it!"
"Marti is wonderful and has been extremely helpful. She’s gone above and beyond to help us. The place is clean and has great prices. We highly recommend it."
"Jesus and Mardi did a great job addressing my concerns and making me feel comfortable in my decision of choosing Life Storage. The facilities are clean and so far I am a very happy customer."
"After calling around for a storage unit, I found the best price at Life Storage. I came in 15 minutes before closing and thankfully Mardi was there. She took the time to show me the unit and made me feel sure about the size of the 8ft door and all of my things fitting through it. Even if I didn't like the unit she was willing to look into more options for me even after closing. I also felt safe the fact that she informed me about the cameras and she even took the time to stay with me as I unpacked a few things from my car into my storage unit. After, she thoroughly went through the whole process of renting a storage unit, which I appreciated. Thank you Mardi for all of you help!"
"Excellent Customer Service, We don't have any complaints about this place, The front office Personal always ready to help you and assist you with your delivery, I definitely will recommend this place...
Thanks guys"
"Friendly and knowledgeable staff, prices are pretty cheap and reasonable for a storage unit compared to other locations. Very spacious roadways, easy to move tow trucks in."
"I met the gentleman Jesus on Friday 3/27 he initially gave me all the information regarding the space I was looking for. He was very helpful and answered all my questions. I made my reservation with him and returned on Saturday 3/28 to complete the paperwork with Mardi. She was very informative and efficient. The process lasted about 10 minutes and I was out of the door. The location was very clean and quiet. I will recommend coming to this location for fast and easy service."
"I walked in to this location and immediately was greeted by a smiling face. The store was very clean and welcoming. I really appreciated them and if I ever need to rent another unit I will be returning. Thank you guys and keep up the dedication to your customers!"
"I rented a storage at this location and the manager Lee Stewart was so nice, helpful and caring that I would recommend any person to rent a storage at this location. It was almost time to close and he waited for me to get there and after he closed he stayed with me while I waited for the taxi to pick me up... as a woman I really felt safe not being alone at night. Thanks Lee Steward for being that way and caring for your customers like you do...you make this world a better place"
"Lee was most courteous and very professional. Nothing better than doing business with someone who KNOWS the business. I highly recommend this location."
"Very great customer service from lee Stewart! I will highly recommend this place for my friends and family! He made me feel so welcomed and just like family during my visit!"
"Every time Ive called this location Ive gotten a friendly and helpful person.
They took the time to listen, and were extremely helpful in making sure we were able to reserve the unit we needed, when we needed it.
Storage places in the area do not allow pre-reserving (for move in dates further out than 2 weeks) however Lee and his team an kept an eye on the reservation we wanted for a month to ensure we could have a unit when we needed it.
This location is well-maintained, reasonably priced, and values your business.. why go anywhere else?!"
"My experience here has been nothing but AMAZING! Lee and his awesome team made this such an easy and painless process. In the past I've heard horror stories about storage facilities, but my experience here, has completely changed that! Property was super clean, staff was friendly and they were HAPPY to assist me."
"Lee was great. Very quick and thorough. He's a great listener too; I did not have to repeat any information he asked for previously and that is FANTASTIC!
I'm a repeat customer here because I'm always treated like family."
"This place is CLEAN!!! Kind of hidden so I feel its protected. Lee was extremely kind and helpful! Let me take a couple of spins around to make sure it was a good fit for my trailer. Very accommodating! Love that they auto draft! Very conveniently located. Lee was very patient with my umpteen questions. I believe this will be an awesome fit for me. Thank you Life Storage for caring enough about your customers to have such an awesome asset such as Lee working there!"
"I was very impressed about the price they gave me for a 10x10 unit, I think that was awesome...the customer service was top notch, Dennis Rodriguez and Latifah was very helpful, shout out to him. Keep it up bro!!,"
"Rat and roach infestation ruined all of my belongings. When I got to my unit to remove everything there were dozens and dozens of huge roaches scattering. After bombing everything I found claw marks, dead roaches and everything was covered in feces, even inside boxes. Don't store anything here. They knew about the infestation and didn't notify anyone."
"Latifah and all the staff were helpful they have great rates and they really care about there renters. If we ever need another storage unit i know exactly where to rent. Thanks guys, your awesome!!!"
