"Marty was most helpful and accommodating in assisting my company moving our space to a new space. I would gladly refer Lifestorage and specifically Marty to anyone. He was a pleasure to deal with !!"
"Marty at Life Storage is amazing, the facility is clean and organized! I have used this storage facility several times over the past few years and I will continue to go back to them! They are AMAZING!!!"
"I signed up online and immediately received a call for further assistance. When I came in the staff was professional & helped me get to my unit & set up the lock. Thank you for your kindness."
"Great chain and location! Best accessibility hours in a 10 mile radius ! Great price as well . If you are new to renting like I was , keep in mind you still need to use or get rental insurance . It’s 14 dollars from them . Clean location and the individual that works in the office is super friendly and makes the process easy . My 10 foot kayak fit perfectly in a 5x5x9 on the 4th floor ."
"Thank you Marty for knowing your stuff about the storage industry. We're happy with the space at Elmhurst, and we will definitely refer others to this location. --Deana T"
"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 have never needed storage before so I was not sure what to expect. The place was very nice, clean, and most importantly felt very safe. Marty was incredible kind and accommodating and happy to answer all my questions. I would highly recommend this place to anyone needing storage."
"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."
"Life storage in Elmhurst is fantastic. A business that is a cornerstone in the community. Ask for Chris! His customer service is outstanding. Polite, professional, and knowledgeable. He for sure made my day. Kudos to the life storage team. You have my business for eternity
Michael"
"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. I highly recommend this storage facility—clean, safe, great location, great customer service, and great price."
"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."
"Theresa is fantastic - she is so helpful, accommodating and patient. Thank you, Theresa! The facility is clean and well stocked with supplies, too. Thumbs up."
"Great place, had a storage unit at the Elmhurst location for more than 10 years and have been very satisfied with the pricing and the friendly associate Chris in the office."
"Chris was so helpful in finding me the perfect space! When we saw a unit recommended to me on the phone, I told him that I may not need as much room, so he showed me some others until I found the perfect size.
He also worked with my budget and gave me the same discount that I would have gotten on the bigger space. I really appreciate all of the help and will definitely stick with life storage from now on."
"Chris providing great service. Made everything easy and simple. Very nice guy. Provided excellent service. Also this place has great prices. You cant go wrong renting from Life Storage. I'm very happy with choosing them for storage. Very honest business to do business with. Highly recommended!!"
"Chris and Theresa made our experience very smooth, from signing up for a storage space, to helping us get in when we were locked out.
The storage spaces are climate controlled and seem to have plenty of room to move around while loading/unloading. The indoor garage staging area is a perk for winter time, too!"
"Always very clean! Great place to store my stuff! Highly recommend! Ask for Chris and Theresa, great people! And they call with reminders all the time. Friendly staff"
"Just rented a storage unit here and the customer service was great! Very friendly staff. I have not had a month to month experience yet, but it was very efficient and the facility is very clean and well monitored!"
"I want to thank Ginger Smith so much for being kind, generous, helpful and professional. We are very thankful for her patience with us, and her willingness to help have a positive experience with this storage facility. Thank you Ginger! :-)"
"Outstanding experience. While we prepared our house to sell and pack up to move we placed dressers and couches in storage. Best idea ever. Clean and well lit. Customer service is friendly and knowledgable. The moving van was awesome! I would highly recommend this location."
"Great experience! My college student stored his things over the summer here and everything went smoothly. Barbara and staff are very friendly and helpful. The facility is CLEAN and his belongings were fresh, safe and clean when we picked them up. The covered loading area is very convenient, you can load & unload in inclement weather without your things getting soaked. The CARTS they provide make moving in and out so much easier!
Last summer he used a different storage facility (the one with an orange logo) and his belongings were covered in dust, feathers and bird droppings! So glad we found and used Life Storage this time around!"
"I was moving in after hours and having trouble with the door, and the manager just happened to drive by. He stopped and showed me how everything worked. It's clean and well managed."
"Jeff is the reason we store here. His amazing customer service is second to none, we've been renting here for years and wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Place is clean and neat as a pin, and it's always fun seeing Jeff and his wonderful staff. Rent here with confidence!"
"This is a clean and well-run establishment. Barbara in the front office was particularly pleasant and helpful, offering a chair for one of our party who has a disability and making sure we had access to carts so we could move large items. We were accessing the unit on a very hot day, but we were comfortable inside the unit."
"Been using elmhurst life storage for years... Barbara is always accommodating my family and I. Shes an extremely helpful and HAPPY woman, which you dont see everyday in customer service. 10 stars to Barbara for being the best!!!!!"
"Barb was fun and friendly and answered all my questions! Definitely felt welcomed and taken care of, and like I'm with a high-quality company. She also insisted I leave her a five-star review, lol. She deserves it, though. :P"
"This is a wonderful place the manager Barb was excellent in helping me sign up for my storage unit and was very funny. I recommend this place to everyone."
"This is not the first storage unit Ive ever rented, and I doubt it will be the last. When I can say is that so far is the best. The rental process was incredibly smooth using the online pre-registration feature with the reservation. I received an advanced phone call from Barb to confirm the day before my scheduled arrival and she was very pleasant to talk to on the phone.
The facility itself seems very secure and has plenty of space in the garage for parking inside while you unload if you have an internal storage unit. The storage space itself is structurally very similar to other indoor storage units Ive rented before.
Moving into my unit and the on-site portion of the rental process was also very smooth. Barb was as pleasant to talk to in person as she was on the phone. I was able to provide my own lock which is great instead of being forced to pay for a lock thats not as secure as the one that I already owned (Like I was forced to at some previous storage places).
I also had on site variety of boxes which Ive made use of a couple, and if you dont have your own there is a dolly to rent. Its also been very handy that they keep a full stock of packing materials such as tape, padding, moisture absorbing things, and markers etc. as I always forget indoor run out of those things while Im in my unit.
TLDR: I am very pleased with my decision to get a unit here."
"I went there to get information about renting a unit for my son. And I was greeted by a lady named Barbara. She was so sweet & helpful. I appreciate going to places where the customer service people are actually nice. And when I left ...I knew my son would choose them for his future move.
She made my entire day! Thank you for the great happy attitude!!"
"Fantastic service from the moment I contacted this location. Luco and Jeff are a great team and are clearly so customer-focused. This facility is clean and very easy to access. I love the massive garage / dock you can pull in to, especially when the weather is too hot or cold to be out in. Take advantage of the LifeStorage Rental Truck - I used it for my move and it saved me so much time and money. Thank you Luco and Jeff!"
"Excellence experience with the team on Saturday. Went through everything in detail and even gave us tips on how to store our stuff and not get mold. Thank you!"
"Barbara was extremely helpful and went way above and beyond to help me. Including staying about past closing to make sure everything was closed out of my account and that I was good with that. Thank you for everything."
"I use the location at 953 S. Rt 83 in Elmhurst, IL. Luco and Jeff are awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable, and know their customers. It's great to walk in and they know who you are. It's a well maintained, clean building. This location is very well run. This is an excellent location which I've recommended to others.
As far as the company overall, the periodic changing of unit prices makes me shop your competition. "
"I love the friendly staff, the cleanliness and climate control units, the hours of access and the location. I wish there was a life storage in Clarksville, TN."
"I am exceptionally satisfied with my experience at LifeStorage. Regretfully, I am no longer in need of storage services. If I ever need services down the road, I will absolutely be back at Life Storage Elmhurst!"
"Jeff and Luka are WONDERFUL they are so kind and helpful! I would never go anywhere else to meet my storage needs! The building is fresh and clean and the boys are always ready to lend a hand with my lock or if I have some questions! They are never without a SMILE! So nice to see them sitting at the desk each and every time I go into the office!! They are truly a assets to your company!
Thank you !"
"I am very pleased with the helpfulness of the employees. Anytime I have questions, they are promptly answered. I was most touched regarding a recent issue I had of not being able to get something out of my storage unit, and the front desk associate took time to come and help me and even provided suggestions on how to move things around to make it easier for my next trip."
The entrance, aisles, and most drive-up accessible storage units are wide enough to accommodate large vehicles, up to and including 54' tractor trailers.
