"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 :)"
