"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."
"They actually helped us pick a unit that would fit our stuff without pushing a larger unit on us and in doing so saved us money. I was surprised by this."
"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"

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!"
