"Just rented a unit from Life Storage yesterday and was incredibly impressed with the facility. Clean, safe, new, everything you could want. But the most impressive part of my experience was the guy behind the counter. Michael was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly hospitable, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions with a smile on his face. Thumbs up all the way around for Life Storage and their front man, Michael!!"
"Michael Smith is the best manager I have run into since I have been a customer of Life Storage. He’s always so helpful and goes above and beyond his duties. The facility has been cleaner and better operated since he got to the store on Decatur Street. His work ethic me kept me here."
"Alexandria and Michael at Life Storage on Decatur St. provided excellent customer service with set up, billing, and vacating. Definitely recommended!"
"I absolutely love my storage unit! Micheal and Tamika are a huge help. I was late on my payment for a few months and they accommodated me without even asking. I’ve had this space for over 6 months and I wouldn’t choose anywhere else!"
"I received great service and extra help when I needed it most. They offer a variety of units at lower prices compared to others in the area. Thank you!"
"Fast and easy process. Michael was very efficient in getting me into my unit and ensuring that everything was how I want it. Thanks so much! This is my 3rd time storing at this location, they come through every-time!"
"Do not store your things here unless you enjoy being berated by the staff who works here. I have stored my things here 2 times and won’t ever use this place again after the staff member yelled and threatened to call the police on me for over using the elevator to move an entire 3 bedroom house with movers. I assumed that a storage facility would understand that moving a house would require using the elevator for a 4th floor unit. I wouldn’t feel safe coming back here and feel awful for the movers I hired who were yelled at at their jobs for no reason."
"I have been storing my items here for 4 years. My unit was broken into. 75% of my items were stolen. My access code had been changed. There are only cameras on the outside of the building not on the floors. Another person unit had also been broken into. The officer had to write two reports. Its was stated this facility has had and enormous amount of break-ins over the past 6 months. (Hundreds).There was no email notifying renters of the break-ins. The disappointing thing is that I have insurance but some of the items taken can't be replaced. SMH @lifesrtoage; RENT at your OWN risk!!!!1"
"Hate to write a one-star review, because the staff and on-site manager are amazing people and the place is clean and accessible. However, they have a serious problem with break-ins right now, and this is absolutely not a safe place to store anything that is remotely valuable. Our unit was broken into TWICE within a six-week period, and everything that could be pawned was gone. Their standard insurance has a high deductible of $4,000, so we're just out of pocket for around $1,000 of items that were taken, plus the months of rent and insurance we paid for no reason. I truly believe the new manager is doing everything he can to improve the situation, but until corporate buys in and gives them a budget for security, I would highly recommend storing items anywhere else."
"Sandra was amazing. First time purchasing a storage unit. Sandra was super professional and extremely friendly/accommodating.
I will refer my friends if they are ever in need. Thank you again for everything Sandra."
"Sandra has been a great help on showing me where my storage space was at.Great customer service and friendly will recommend friends and family to this location."
"The team at Life Storage on Decatur Street has always gone above and beyond for me and provided excellent customer service! I visit this Life Storage location every single day for business purposes, and Charles Dowden and the entire staff are dependable, helpful, and responsive. It is so nice to know that all I have to do is call, and Charles will be there to answer and assist me with anything I need before or after I stop at my storage unit. As someone who is always on the go, he has saved me so much time and always greeted me with kindness. Lastly, I have always felt very safe at this unit and I feel like their security is excellent."
"Charles Dowden was a huge help! He was on the middle of helping another customer and still managed to get me in and out in record time. I’ve been a customer at this location for years and have never had a bad experience."
"I had to worst experience with this storage unit. Please do not store your belongings here. I'm in a process of getting a lawyer. I came to pay my last payment before moving into my brand new home and my storage unit was robbed. All my kids clothes, my clothes, my husbands clothes, all our TVs, a safe with valuable items, play station, our surround system, furniture and much more was taken. This put me in such a hole. The lack of communication with the store manger was horrible everyone act as if they didn't know anything the cops was called and cameras was rolled back and it's still an on going investigation. It took so long for even the insurance company to reach back out to me to assist with the burglary. I just cried I just couldn't believe it for me to pay a monthly fee and for my things to be taken. All I'm saying is just don't rent from them go else where."
"I really appreciate the store manager Nichols Hall and also the associate store manager Charles Dowden. These two guys do a great job and I appreciate all that do when I need service."
"I’ve used this place for the last 2 years & love it! I’ve always received great customer service. It’s clean, great air conditioning & and perfect location while I lived right around the corner. Hope to find storage just as nice on my move."
"I’ve used a few storage facilities for warehousing and this one surpasses all others in safety, cleanliness, and customer service. Nick and Charles, specifically, have been awesome and are always happy to lend me a hand when I need any help. Highly recommend."
"5 star service by Nicholas Hall! My partner and I were considering different storage locations and Nicholas was so pleasant and knowledgeable that we decided to choose LifeStorage.
LifeStorage has very reasonable and competitive rental rates too!!!!"
"It's not really a 5 Star location, due to there being no dumpster, and no restroom, but I'm still rating with 5 stars due to Brandon, in the office. My plate is full, to say the least, but when I called last week with questions about my billing cycle, Brandon knocked out my questions quickly and with a great deal of insight, allowing me to get back to my other obligations asap. Thanks, for doing a great job! We appreciate it!"
"Despite the security codes to get in the gate, into the building, and even elevators restricting you to the floor your unit is on, beware! This place is NOT secure. I recently went to check on my things and found an unfamiliar, cheap lock only a step above a suitcase lock "securing" the unit. I have never missed a payment, I'm still listed as leasing the assigned unit. No one is on site to speak with and their telephone support will keep you on hold forever before they can simply leave a message with someone. I'm distraught, feel violated, and helpless. Not a great experience. Customers beware!"
"The office staff was really helpful with explaining the rental process. I was nervous, but they answered all my questions and conerns. Thank you for being such a big help!"
"I am in the process of moving from Michigan to Atlanta,Ga. Cassandra was such a big help with showing me which storage I would need. She showed me around and was a pleasure to work with. I will definitely be referring her to other people"
"Extremely helpful staff. Frank walked me through different storage units and got me set up with my own space very quickly and answered all of my questions about payments and parking. The parking lot is massive with indoor elevator access conveniently located directly in front of a loading zone for large vehicles."
"I’ve been leasing storage space from Life Storage for approximately 6 months. I’ve been very pleased with the security, the cleanliness of the property and the customer service. Cassandra and Nick are always available to answer questions and help out when needed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"
"WOWED!!!!🤩 Is the first thing, that comes to mind, when I think of Nick, the assistant manager, of Life Storage, near 486 Decatur St. Nick needs a raise, for how he went over and beyond the call, of his duties, to make sure all of my commercial cleaning equipment, was safely moved into my storage unit. Not to mention he locked it back for me! My man...(Denzel Washington voice)😊"
"Downhill since move in. Classic problem, the lease up team delivers the moon and the full property gets sold and new management cuts costs. On site manager does well keeping big problems at bay however, gone are the trashcans, half the light bulbs, music, access to the bathrooms and the AC seems 5 degrees warmer than when I moved in. Not to mention the price increases."
"I just moved into the Atlanta area, and I wasn't sure how I was going to get everything moved here. They made it such a easy, simple process. Thank you for the great customer service!"
"Cevon is an amazing guy! I went there twice and both times he was willing to help me print out papers for a different purpose completely unrelated to LifeStorage and it was so helpful because Im from out of town and dont have a printer! I couldnt ask for a better customer service. Cevon, you put the life in Life Storage :)"
"Cassandra is such a wonderful person. Her customer service is excellent. My wife and I used Life Storage for over 3 years and during that time Cassandra was always attentive to any of our concerns or needs. Thank you Life Storage and a VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO CASSANDRA!"
"The service was excellent. The young lady who assisted my wife and mother in law, was knowledgeable and kind. My wife tells me her name was Cassandra Hardin. We appreciate your kind professional service."
"Great Experience from beginning to end. Cevon and his staff were very thorough and did a great job explaining things and making everything smooth and easy going!"
"I really had a great experience with Life Storage!! The office and the facility were immaculate!!! The staff was supa friendly and helpful.. Shout out to Cassandra's the manager very helpful"
"Love storing with life storage Cassandra is a wonderful person love her personality. Very clean and safe place to store my things. Thanks so much Cassandra."
"Great location. Greg D was very helpful and knowledgeable regarding what size storage unit I would need. He took me to see 2 units and I was able to compare and make sure I would have enough space."
"As I go through a transition in my life, Greg, really helped me feel secure in my decision to rent with Life Storage. He provided me with superior service and was very knowledgeable and kind. I would highly recommend Life Storage and Greg! :)"
"Excellent service at life storage today, made my reservation for my space and was called within an hour for confirmation from Rico. Once I arrived to the unit, Rico showed me everything from the entrance to my unit and how to exit. Very professional. Very clean. Would recommend this storage facility to everyone if I could and also recommend Rico as there life storage guide!"
"I had a great customer service experience at this location. The service was quick and the space and climate control is sufficient. They really cared about my personal needs, and space requirements. Please come down and ask for Mrs. Cassondra H."
"The assistant manager Cassandra was friendly, helpful and super knowledgeable! She made the process simple and expertly answered all my questions. The facility is clean, well-lit and easy to access. Highly recommended for all your storage needs."
"After reviewing several storage companies in the area I decided on Life Storage. The facility is clean and easy to access. Rico gave me the tour and signed me up. He explained their processes thoroughly and had great customer service throughout. Im glad I chose this location."
"I came into Life Storage just to see how complicated this moving and storage process would be and I found out that it wasn't what I thought it would be. Rico was a rock star showing me what to do and how to do it cost effectively. I will be storing with Life Storage in 2 months and I've already got a heads up so the stress level has been decreased tremendously!!!"
"Ive had a great experience with life storage. The place is very clean and nice. Everything feels very secure there. Rico and Cassandra where a huge help to me and my mom. Cassandra is great at selling those packing boxes And Rico was very helpful answering all of our questions with a big smile. My mom is in her 70s and this is her first time needing a big storage unit and the unit they gave us was incredibly convenient for us to be able to unload our stuff from the car and made things a lot easier for my mom to be able to move things from the car to the unit herself. Big thanks to Rico and Cassandra for helping us get all set up."
"I've rented with Life Storage at a different location in the past and am a satisfied customer, once again. At this location, though, I must give particular props to Kwana and Nikki (and others behind the scenes -- truly a team effort), as they truly went the extra mile to make sure that I was a happy new client. Thank you, thank you, and thank you, again!"
"Great staff, accommodating, friendly and personable. Awesome communication skills from top down - Kudos to both Cassandra & Enrico, both exemplified excellent interpersonal skills during my visit to this location!"
"Me and my friend stopped by the yesterday to check on some quotes. An employee named Rico provided great customer service, and was very funny. We really appreciate his help and the experience that was provided."
"They were fantastic. Cassandra and Rico went out of their way to help me and meet my requirements. The unit is very secure and clean. I would definitely recommend them"
"What an experience the moment i walked in felt like i was safe and the experience and friendly help by staff i did not feel rushed to make a decision.
Rico Johnson and Cassandra Hardin were very helpful and half the reason I chose this store the other is why i needed the space Thank you
Lindsay Ace Gordon"
"Made a reservation online and dropped by to move in to the unit. We were greeted by a locked front door. Rang the bell figuring the on duty rep might be showing a unit. A few minutes later a woman came to the door wiping sleep from her eyes, as if we had just woken her up. Instantly got the vibe, that we were inconveniencing her. She then began to drill us on what we were storing and condescendingly speaking down to us regarding their insurance policies. Her customer service and demeanor was atrocious. Sadly her name tag said she was the store manager!
We walked out and cancelled our reservation and walked into Extra Space Storage right down the street, and were greeted by an extremely friendly and accommodating sales person, who showed us around and treated us the way customers should be treated."
"I came in to inquire about storage and met with the manager Rico. He greated me with smile and a good afternoon. I really didnt have a clue of what I needed and Rico took his time to explains the ins and outs. He showed me a few different spaces and I found the one I needed. I wont need the space for another month but I know what to do when the time comes to store!!! Ill be storing with Life Storage"
"EnRico and Cassandra were very helpful, and I would recommend Life Storage to my friends, especially this location. I appreciate them and the customer service they exhibited."
"I rented a space from the Decatur St. life storage and left it there for a year without checking on it. When i came to move out, everything was exactly the same. Such a relief. I also
Rented a moving truck from the west midtown location and I was so pleased by the customer service. They made my move out less worrisome. I would ask that if you don’t use the move in truck initially, you give the same deal to people moving out. That would be a great service."
"I Actually was surprised by the customer service here they treated me very nice answered all my questions talked to me like a normal customer as a actual person made sure that Life Storage was the best place to keep my thangs safe and sucured. I’m Very happy I choose life storage for To Keep my belongings for a period of time!! Thank You Very Very Much!"
"I’ve used several storage facilities in the area during moves and always feel like it’s a rip off and can’t wait to get out. LifeStorage is affordable, convenient, safe and we have chosen to use it for long-term storage."
"the staff ot this location is awesome!
they explained everything in detail and helped me with all my storage needs.
In fact rented another unit as my other had filled up quickly."
"Nelson was gracious, pleasant, and extremely helpful. He could not have been nicer. He was all by himself as well, but he was attentive and professional and made me feel right at home."
