"Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] was the perfect solution to our storage needs. As our needs changed, we were able to easily move to a larger storage unit nearby. The managers, Robert and Laura, were always helpful and very professional. The entire facility is well-maintained and clean. It is a very safe and secure storage place. Before we first rented here, we had looked around the area for the best self-storage facility. We chose Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] because it truly was the best, most conveniently located, cleanest, secure self storage in the area. "

"Very poor customer service, within 3 days of being notified my automatic withdrawal didn't go through due to a new card issued, I called in and was told to come in a take care of everything, upon getting on the 6th I was charged a late fee which wasn't told to me over the phone nor was it on the boiling statement I received the day before on the 5th. Had I known there was going to be a late fee even though I called and since it was due to a new card being issued, they would have been more forgiving and understanding. Instead I was treated as if I stupid for not knowing late fees are applied after the 5th. I would have came in same day or paid over the phone if they would have mentioned it when I called or in the statement I received. Very poor customer service, never will use again and will be telling everyone one I know. Thanks. Good thing I'm a local real estate agent and have lived here for 40 years "

"We were moving from a different state to Illinois and had been warned about how the big city people would not be helpful and would take advantage of us. Well, the manager at the Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] facility was not only helpful, but seemed to go out of his way to make things easier for us. It was a lovely way to start our life-long adventure in Chicagoland. "

"1. You are asking me about staff and the office, but if I have not interacted with them in months (because I just visit my unit) you should have an answer category for that.
2. We appreciate not having to enter our security code to leave the property! Thank you for updating that!"

"Only thing I questioned is that I was in the space for 3 days after my current month payment and didn't get any prorated refund, so I basically paid $80 for three days. Unhappy about that... Plus the moving truck with the prior company was always complimentary ..."
