"Storage space for large (over-sized) vehicles including boats and trailers should not be next to the air-conditioned storage units but on the back of the property near the fence. Use the spaces next to the buildings for smaller vehicles, etc."

"You meet or shall I say exceeded my expectations as soon as I walked through the door. The young lady who is the manager at the west waters loc(who's name escapes me) was very pleasant and helpful. I had all of my questions answered and she assured me with her knowledge life storage was the place I needed to leave my personal items with. So far so good"
