"Sandra was the best. It was great costumer service. She showed me different type of storage sizes and guide through all the process. Wish other companies or facilities would have people with this type of work ethic ! Thank you Sandra !"
"Firstly, the customer service; here is phenomenal!
Sandra always deliver the best customer service, hands down.. I recommend this store on Canton road wholeheartedly!!"
"The Canton store manager Ms. Sandra Salceiro has provided me with an excellent customer service. I was in need of changing my storage space to a bigger size, she looked for another space, she switched my contract on the spot for bigger storage space. In all she exceeded my expectation and this shows the commitment behind the life storage stuff and management to provide an excellent customer service for their customers- keep it up!"
"Customer service here is great and the units are clean and well monitored as well as easy to access! Sandra as manager is wonderful with any questions or needs you may have!"
"I am renting a unit from a different location but the store manager at this location is great too. I had an emergency and Sandra was extremely help and flexible."
"Look for your rates to increase often. And the interior lights cute off quickly..as in 8-12 minutes. Tell me who can get into a storage unit and get what you need in 8 minutes"
"Ms Tanika was great she answered all of my questions..I would definitely come back I will also tell family & friends...Donnelly was great as well...go by and check them ...friendly & fast service"
"Tanika was an amazing help the entire time I encountered her. The moving process was a lot easier because of her and her gleaming personality. Thank you"
"To help straighten out a van reservation, Bob battled the computer system, and to my relief, followed up the next morning to confirm success. On the day of getting the van, Mao made the transaction easy and completely seamless, both for picking it up, and also for returning it. He has a wonderful, friendly quality of making people feel welcome. Actually looking forward to doing it again! (The van is nice, too!)"
"Tanika was so so sweet and very informative about the service that I needed. She served me very fast and efficiently and she should be a manager lol. My service was amazing."
"Tanika was a very helpful, patient representative of Life Storage where I used a van they provided. I enjoyed working with her very much. A+ customer service!"
"Not only was I given mis-information when I initially called in for a quote, which eneded up costing me more money when I arrived (BAIT-n-Switch) . I was Locked out of the unti that I paid for because the main doors to get inside were faulty, NONE of THEM were working on a day I went back to my unit. I had hired help with me and the clock was ticking but do you think they cared about my incovience or the money they cost me??? No they did NOTHING to accomodate me."
"Tanika was such a pleasure to work with! After having a bad experience with Public Storage, we decided to use Life Storage with our current move and it has been a much smoother process."
"I just wanted to take the time to thank Ms. Tanika ( I hope i spelled it right lol ) for her exceptional help today !!! She went above and beyond to help me with an error I MADE moving too quickly !! So very thankful God placed her in my path ! She's sweet , understanding and professional ! Thank you !!! 💖🤗"

"I am just shopping around for a space I may need for next month and the associate was very nice I believe her name was Tiffany. She answered every question I had to help me with my move, I could tell she was smiling just from the tone in her voice. The facility is also very clean which I like. Definitely top of my list"
"This facility is pretty clean, they take pride in their building! The associate who helped me was very helpful and I'll definitely be back!!! Thank you for your help!!!"
"I'm in the climate controlled building and really like it. It's clean, 24 hour accessible, large elevator is always working, carts are available, and the staff are super friendly. Great place to store your stuff."
"We reserved and paid over the phone. Quick service and easy to get in the storage once our information was given. The climate control area is clean and well lit."
"Easy, seem less, and great! I was helped by Tanika when I got there to get the storage shed. She not only gave me other cheaper options but also took the time to find me something that would be perfect for my needs! I highly recommend this place and her!!"
"Tanika was more than helpful! She went above and beyond to ensure we had an excellent experience! We highly recommend Life Storage in general, but especially the locations Tanika manages!"
"Summary: an elevator failure on a weekend left me unable to access my storage unit, resulting in hours of lost time for me and my family. I was attempting to transfer my items only to find that I had to turn back and plan to do the whole thing again another day.
--
I'll preface this review by saying that a) I previously rented from Life Storage in a different location and had a great experience - no access issues, felt secure, and check-in/check-out were smooth; b) the front desk staff here and at corporate headquarters were polite and seemed to try their best despite being hamstrung and unable to offer a solution.
So, I am not complaining about staff nor the larger company; instead, my low rating represents a clear systems failure that resulted in me not being able to access my unit during the posted hours for this location, and I will not be trusting Life Storage from here on out.
In trying to access my unit on a Sunday around 10am, I discovered that the elevator had failed. I called the regular number, was auto-forwarded to corporate, who attempted to help me troubleshoot the elevator, to no avail. They advised that they would try to get a team onsite to fix the elevator, since the site office had not yet opened, and that they would notify the office team. They could not provide me an estimate of when I would receive a call, much less a resolution, for which they apologized.
After packing the SUV-load of items back up, apologizing to my family for their wasted time, and mid-drive back home, I received a call that they would not be able to fix the elevator until the office team arrived later that day. I expressed my disappointment given that my time and effort had completely gone to waste that morning; they apologized and told me they would inform the office team.
I didn't hear anything until the next day. Moreover, the call I received was not about the elevator, but a follow-up on my new unit check-in process. Clearly nothing had been communicated to the front desk team. I voiced my disappointment, to which the very polite team member said she would discuss the situation with the management. She called back after discussing with the management team, and she told me that they were sorry but that there was nothing they could do. Someone also apparently had told this staff member that I could have "used the stairs," but a) no one on that day mentioned that there were even publicly-accessible stairs in that building, and b) I could not have carried the particular items I wished to transfer up and down stairs.
The combination of having my time wasted (and the time of the family members helping me), the realization that I'm just plumb out of luck if the elevator has a glitch again when I have a truckload of things to transfer to my unit, and the lack of any meaningful redress from this location's management, has lead to me leave this negative review and start looking for other storage solutions. Again, I hate to have to post this, given that I had a good experience with other Life Storage locations, but if there are going to be situations where I cannot access my own unit (and not even be told about stairs until the next day, even though that is *not* a suitable solution), I simply cannot trust this storage facility for my storage solutions moving forward. Hopefully this review is of help to other users."
"No one was in the front office during my close out and when I looked around it was 6 people sitting in their cars to do the same and had to wait for hours to check out."
"I was assisted by Tinekia(I am so sorry if I spelled wrong)! She was very thorough and efficient throughout my whole process. I experienced an extreme delay and she took steps to ensure I received the best customer service and support around my issue. Overall, her friendly and pleasant demeanor is the reason I continued to move forward with locking in my storage unit. Thank you SO much for all of your kindness and help!"
"Renting from life storage was a true life savor for me. My mom died and I had to sell our house. Moved a lot of sentimental stuff in a climate controlled area that was safe. Staff was hughly helpful, nice and supportive. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Felt safe and very reasonably priced"
"Tanika and Jason were awesome staff helped find my mom and I the perfect storage unit for an awesome price and showed us the units before we bought them. Great Staff. Great prices very friendly."
"Tanika was so pleasant and friendly and simply over all amazing!. . She helped us and answered all questions. I had an amazing experience. Thanks Tanika & Life Storage of Marietta!"
"Store 042 Tameka is the best manager for Life Storage. She is very knowledgeable about the website and will assist you with any questions you may have. Love this location."
"I went to get a storage unit on a Sunday and Ms. Tanika was so nice! Had such a pleasant attitude and had no problem helping me find a unit that was just big enough before the items Im storing. I really appreciate her taking the time and not getting annoyed with all the units I was trying to see. If you get a chance to see this thanks girl. I really appreciated it!"
"I had a great experience with life storage on Canton Rd the store mgr Tamika is excellent and very helpful she goes above and beyond! The location is very clean. I recommend this location to any one who's looking for storage. Great customer service =M"
"Christopher W. === Give Excellent Customer Service. I needed directions, and he went far out of the way to help, And complemented me wearing a beautiful Flower. He lifted my day.!!! I was off to a Start so I thought,--then my car would not start., Again, he went out of his way to help, with quick responses. Wow what a wonderful person, who host a beautiful speaking language !!!! because of him, I made it to work, that.s why I want to say Thank You, Christopher, He really has a Heart of Gold. He really have high qualities, inside his Beautiful Soul !!!"
"Tanika is the best. She's honest and professional. She goes above and beyond to resolve any concerns. Recommend her and this location anyday of the week."
"Chris is the most helpful thing ever! He was very courteous, helpful, patient, and good-natured. He helped me, which I can aver is no small feat, and at the same time managed to help several other people without ever seeming scattered. The place is clean and well-kept."
"Chris was courteous and professional at all times. Very easy to understand. He explained things fully and showed me the unit and how to use the the new locks. He was a pleasure to work with after having a very stressful day moving. He made laugh even though I was having issues with my moving. Thank you Chris for your genuine good nature and professionalism. You all need to give him a big raise!"
"I am naming my next child Christopher. Chris is the associate manager at this location. He is the friendliest, most personable, most helpful person ever. Im so glad I came to Life Storage!!"
"CHRIS, what a special kid he is. He is so friendly and had a smile on his face the whole time. He has this giggle thats contagious too. The indoor storage facility is new also which makes it nice."
"Terrence was the literal embodiment of all these questions in your survey. He is so professional, and is a man of great integrity. You should definitely promote him. "
"Very easy and pleasant experience during a complicated time between moving out of a rental house and closing on the house I was buying. Much appreciated."
"After after paying for storage for 7 years I was charged $25 late fee for expired card on file when I put the associate can we do something about it she said there's not I can do then I have to ask my self why would i pay 110$ every month, You gays dont deserve it!
"
"The associate was very nice and the property clean. However the only reason I chose this storage company was for the free truck to move in and there were no trucks available. Therefore I had to also rent a truck. Other than that this is a very nice storage company. "
"It was almost too easy to deal with Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]. I have had horrible experiences with other organizations and was expecting similar treatment. Ann was great to work with. I felt like this is what it would be like if Disney ran self storage (only not as expensive.)"
"The process was smooth and quicker than I thought. The associate answered all questions and addressed my concerns. From the start everyone has been amazing and helpful. "
"I was very pleased with the customer service provided by Jason when securing my storage unit. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this company to my family and friends. "
"Your associates helped me get a storage unit promptly and i was able to get my stuff in quickly. I was happy with the 24 hour access. That was a deal breaker for me.
Again the associates were great and took great care of me"
"The new gate stays open much too long after a car goes through. There is too much opportunity for an unauthorized vehicle to follow another car onto the property."
"I would like to see better seals around the roll-up doors. They make a horrendous noise when being opened and closed and when your staff blows off the driveways, the dirt and grit is blown into the storage compartments. "
"needs to clean up the debris along the fence behind space that my boat was in.
pcv pipe and wood on the ground loose. made it difficult to work in that area to uncover boat and remove chocks on tires. Rest of facility seemed very clean. Employees were very nice and helpful every time I was in contact with them. Great over all experience. Was difficult to find first time due to the lack of prominent signage out front.
Felt facility was secure."
"I was incredibly pleased with the personnel at both facilities that I visited. The only question that was not answered was if my policy price would automatically change in a year or not. "
The entrance, aisles, and most drive-up accessible storage units are wide enough to accommodate large vehicles, up to and including 54' tractor trailers.
