"Never failed to raise rent every year. Nice facility however. Not competitive prices. Also, very difficult to get out of due to poor intersection at RT. 83."
"Marty the manager was friendly and professional, he set me up with a great storage unit in a matter of minutes. The facilities are clean and secure. Highly Recommended!"
"Needed storage for a couple of months until our house renovations were done. Rented online, easy process. We rented their moving van to move in and out of unit, and Marty was a big help. Place is clean and easy to get in & out."
"Marty Phillips helped my husband and I find the perfect storage unit for our family's storage. I was impressed with how Marty answered all my questions and even showed us multiple units. Marty also showed me how to use the Storage Smart Entry, which is an app on your smart phone to open the overhead doors. This feature is a must! So glad we went with Life Storage in Elmhurst."
"Marty Phillips the Store Manager is amazing and accommodating.
Marty keeps this location clean and is always there to help!
I really appreciate his friendliness and willingness to always be there to help and assist!!"
"Just booked a unit today online and also by working with Marty the manager. He was so helpful and proactive in addressing my needs! We probably spoke 5 times within an hour. The process was easy especially with Marty's help. I highly recommend Life Storage Elmhurst."
"This place is so clean and staff so professional. Marty was awesome! And another lady the week before helped me with a credit issue. This is my second time storing here."

"I am very happy with this Life Storage facility. The Manager Ginger was very helpful. The place is clean and organized. I will be using their facility again. Thanks Ginger and Life Storage."
"There are many storage spaces nowadays. And they all provide basically the same thing. A place to put your stuff.
However, all those other places don't have Ginger.
Incredibly helpful.
Always pleasant.
And committed to do whatever she can to make your Life Storage experience not only positive, but enjoyable.
Let's face it, putting stuff in storage is pretty much never easy. It's rarely fun. It's often exhausting and even overwhelming.
Ginger and the rest of the team at Life Storage do their best to help it all be just a little bit easier.
And that makes a HUGE difference."
"I spoke with Ginger on the phone regarding an issue I was having with signing the rental agreement. She was courtesy, helpful, and fixed every issue I threw at her! She was absolutely wonderful.
The space itself is also very clean and safe. Would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for storage space!"
"Excellent service. Demi was awesome. Very helpful. Told me everything I need to know. The facility is clean and feels safe and secure. Great referral by another customer!"
"I came to this place to get a storage unit and the store manager Demi was excellent, he was nice and the office and facility smelled so nice and clean even though the place had no units left I will still come back and rent with Demi
Thank you for everything"
"The facility is very clean and secure. The offered carts were a bonus to prevent multiple trips to and from our vehicle. The customer service was outstanding! The only issue I did not care for was to gain access into the building, you had to leave your car to get to the box where you punch in your access code. Other than that, I would definitely recommend the Life Storage on Rt. 83 in Elmhurst."
"They were so helpful with assisting us with storage units and free moving van. The management Demi, Chris, & Dave were extremely helpful and professional. I definitely would recommend renting from Life Storage."

"Fantastic customer service from both John in the call center and Chris, the manager of the Elmhurst Life Storage. Both were extremely courteous and patient, answering all of our questions and walking us through the rental process. No rushing us through and no hard sell, which is very refreshing.

"Customer service awesome Lashawnda and Chris were FANTASTIC !!! Above and beyond - Highly Recommend anyone know the area to use Life storage Elmhurst -"
"I came to the Elmhurst , Rt 83 location about 2 weeks ago and purchased a unit.
Mike was the manager on call that day and was Incredibly helpful. He was taking his patience helping me online and with the registration process. He was congenial and knowledgeable, making my decision an easy one and without any sales pressure, just honest sales.
He informed me that Chris would be the manager on call most of the time at this location... I met Chris today. We had a snafu when a PODS storage truck dropped my unit off at my house, without Contact or our knowledge.
Chris was an amazing help by letting me unload the unit without prior knowledge of it coming, he was super helpful, understanding and courteous.
A BIG thanks to both and especially Chris for all his help today! I couldn’t ask for a cleaner, safer facility."
"Amazing service, Chris the store manager was very helpful with helping upgrade our insurance, welcome us to the facility and direct us to our new space!"
"Take it from a traveling Gypsy... this is the BEST storage I've ever used. The customer service is amazing - the storage is CLEAN and on the first floor. I also have one in the third floor and it's just the best. Public service sucks. Do life storage. Even if it's a little more TRUST ME ITS WORTH IT!!!!"
"We had a good experience at this facility. The staff was very helpful. We worked with Janice. Despite it being her first day at that location, she was able to effectively help us with everything we needed and all with a good attitude. Thanks."
"Getting some documents shredded here today, but asked about possible storage down the road. The manager Chris is super helpful and knowledgeable about everything I needed to know. Place looked nice and clean as well. I will definitely be back soon."
"Super friendly, professional, really convenient. Have a 10x20 ft unit with outside entrance at a reasonable price. Chris, the manager made renting it very efficient. Can't go wrong if needing storage in the area."
"Today, we changed our storage space at Life Storage of Elmhurst from 5'x10' to a 10' x 10' space. The difference in cost was extrememly reasonable. We were helped with our storage change by Chris, a very professional gentleman who understood our needs. Life Storage has been terrific for us. The service, the location and the resonable prices are why we have been renting from Life Storage since 2013."
