"Nails , screws all over the place when you drive through this facilty.
Picked up around 8 items that could puncture your tires yesterday
and the same amount a couple of weeks ago.
Reported this to manager Wanda first time and she said she would report it to management and make sure something was done about it. Did nothing and yesterday claimed to my face there was nothing in the driveway as if I was making it up. Truth being she did nothing about it and too lazy to follow up on complaint.
I have been getting flats not knowing where they came from until now.
Rarely see anyone in office during working hours and they keep raising the rent here. Hoping to find alternative to this facility that only cares about jacking prices up without consideration for customers."
"My experience here at Life Storage with Store Manager Wanda and Assistant Manager Jenn has been great!! I recently had to switch units and they was very helpful and assisted with the transferring process. Their customer service skills are AMAZING!!"
"Wanda was awesome! I had a rough day looking for storage for my boat. I casually cam to this place on my way home as a last stop. I should have made this my first! Wanda was very accommodating and helpful. I am very pleased with the service provided and I am moving away from another unit to bring my other items here as well! The prices are also reasonable! Thank you so much!"
"Jen is awesome!!!! She is so nice and friendly, down to earth and funny as hell. She helped me out right when they were getting ready to close, didn’t make me feel bad, by cutting my lock off for me, with a power cutter! The bolt cutter I brought didn’t work. PS….DON’T show up with a bolt cutter lol. She was even super nice about that. She was so fast, understanding and helpful, kept me safe. Didn’t let me touch the hot lock which is of course something I would do. She even gave me a bandage because I cut myself trying to open the stupid packaging on my new lock before I got there. Bottom line, Jen is so nice! I love this place. Highly recommend. It’s convenient, reasonable, clean, helpful."

Wanda got us all set up and Jennifer helped us check out. We are very thankful for these two ladies. We will definitely store our stuff here again!"
"This is the first storage unit I ever needed to rent.I called around to several places and they rushed me off the phone. When I called Life Storage Jennifer (at the front desk)was very patient in answering all my questions regarding size of the unit that would work best for my needs, the online process etc...When I arrived to secure the unit she took the time to walk me through the process and suggested some packing materials and boxes that were on sale instead of making another trip to Home Depot. Prices were fair, customer services was OUTSTANDING... I highly recommend this storage place"

"I must I was so wary about putting my personal stuff into storage. BUT what a pleasant surprise Wanda was so informative and friendly and made the process easy."
"Due to family circumstances, we needed to rent a parking spot ASAP. After calling around a few different companies, we found this Life Storage location. Wanda Paul answered the phone and provided the information we needed to reserve the space that same day. She met us there, showed us the space, and was very knowledgeable, professional, and polite, and she answered our questions carefully and fully explained the rules of using the spot. She even went outside with us to make sure the gate code worked properly. We had one more question after parking the car in the reserved space, and even though the office was closed, she very kindly opened the door and helped us out. Thank you, Ms. Wanda Paul! You made our experience a very pleasant one!"
"I have rented several times from them on Military and on Mercer and have referred them several of my clients. For the month of October I paid on November 6th instead of October 29th the only time I was ever late and to thank me for my business they charged me a $40.00 penalty. I have since emailed twice and have not received any answer as to the possibility of a refund for this rare late payment. Further on December 8th I went to get my Christmas decoration when I discovered that my unit was infested by rats. I contacted Brandon who came right away to meet me. He offered to move me and call exterminators immediately. I have called twice since and have not even received a call back except today to be told Brandon is not available until next Tuesday. Needless to say I am not happy!"
"Wanda and Brandon were outstanding. Extremely helpful, knowledgeable and professional. I rented 2 storage spaces and I am very happy with my decision to rent at this location."
"So great and helpful! I rented a 5x5 unit and thought it was big enough. I realized as we were trying to move items into the unit that it wasn't big enough. I was so relieved when I ran to the office and was quickly and easily upgraded to a larger unit within the same day I had checked into the smaller unit I had reserved. This was the first time I have ever rented a storage unit. Both the units were on special (free rent for feburary) and all of the life storage associates that I spoke to had welcoming, friendly attitudes. Life storage is amazing!
UPDATE
Had to rent a unit at this same location a year later, and the staff is still just as amazing as last time! Wanda helped me out a lot in trying to get my unit upgraded and was totally sweetheart."
"Brandon and Wanda were excellent and efficient representatives of this company and Life Storage provides affordable storage rates and great hours of availability."
