Now raised larger unit fee to almost twice the amount. Total b. s . Can’t wait to get my stuff out of here. Buyer beware!!!!!"
"I was overjoyed today when I got to my storage unit. I was luck to find an open unit next to mine, that I could use to finally close a unit 2 hours away, where I used to live. Starlyne was happy to assist me in my 2nd unit. Thank you for your help. Nothing like being at the right time at the right place."
"I've been to several Storage facilities but this particular one was different. My first encounter with the Mokena facility was a warm and welcoming experience. The first young lady I met by the name of Starling was very cortual and welcoming. The next young lady I met by the name of Alice was just as nice like sugar and spice. She was open and understanding as if I had been knowing her for years. She helped me with the concerns I had and made my experience very welcoming as well as was Starting. I would recommend this facility in a heartbeat. If you need a storage facility right away, they will find a way to help you."
"Starlyne was the absolute BEST ! I had to move out due to water leaking in my unit and it was a HEADACHE but man oh man was she a sweetheart and fought for me and really did everything in her power to help me! I wish there were more people like her in this world (:"
"Starlyne was the most generous and helpful person I’ve ever come across. She’s saved us a lot of money and gave us the best advise. Highly recommend her services!!"

"Stopped into Life storage on a short notice and Alyce was amazing! She was very accommodating and super sweet! Super helpful and directed me to an easy and open unit. She greeted me with a smile and helped me out when I was in a pinch. I highly recommend Alyce and Life Storage! Definitely will tell people to come here in Mokena! Thank you again for the amazing help! Highly recommend!"
"Starlyne was wonderful. She made this experience very pleasant for me and my family. The storage facility is clean and very well kept. I am very happy with my decision to use this Lifestorage unit in Mokena"
"As a life-long Chicagoan and an individual with a tremendous amount of tools and equipment, I have been renting storage units across Chicagoland for years. In my experience, I have found no operation to be as professional, courteous, and hassle-free as Life Storage.
More specifically, with regard to location #566 (8531 W. 191st St. in Mokena, Illinois), I feel inclined to publicly extend my most sincerely laudation and appreciation to a member of the administrative team, Starlene D., for her continued assistance and support regarding my three units at that location.
Whenever I need assistance (whether it relates to fees, billing, or the rental of an additional unit), I have found Starlene D. to be absolutely invaluable when it comes to navigating the specifics of these agreements and the terms/conditions governing the Life Storage Units. She, alone, is reason enough for me to continue to utilize units at this particular location, and I cannot thank her enough for both her professionalism and the depth of knowledge she has so readily shared with me! Thank you again and again, Starlene!"
"I was incredibly happy with our experience at Mokena Life Storage. The units were clean and well maintained. The team at this facility were exceptional (upbeat and helpful). For the price, this place was perfect."
"Thank you for a truly splendid experience Miss Jasmine. You never seem to amaze, you are one of the most important reasons I've stored with this company for so long. Stay sweet kiddo"
"I have to say the customer service & knowledgeable staff was absolutely exceptional I definitely recommend the Manager Starlyne was so humble I would've never know⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
"I found the Personnel to be XP extremely courteous and all my answers were answered quickly and accurately and one of the best experiences I've had with a storage company"
"I recommend life storage to anyone who's looking to relocate or just need extra space to put your belongings. The price is very reasonable for the months I got help from Allyce and she was great very attentive answered any questions that I had she made me feel very welcomed."
"Very customer friendly!!
Very clean facility!!!
My phone calls were very informative and friendly, and when I went into facility, extremely helpful and nice!!!
Highly recommend!!"
"I just had to create one of these accounts only so I could tell anyone concerned in storing, this place is where you need to be. More specifically the young lady, Jasmine, who went so far beyond expectations she really put an impact on me. I had to be in the worst situation of my life hands down, this young woman gave me more support through it than anyone and there are not enough words to express my gratitude to her. I HIGHLY recommend this facility to anyone in need of storage. I promise you will not regret it.
Jasmine, you are an angel. Thank you for all of your work and time, may you be blessed with happiness"
"This place continuously raises the rent citing demand; be careful if you are a renter looking for a long term arrangement. In addition, I would read and understand the rental agreement very carefully."
"It would have been easier if someone was working like the guy on the phone told me the day before. Once my son in law got ahold of someone on the phone for me it went smoothly."
"My husband and I have been looking for a facility that we both agreed on for a while. After speaking with Markila at this location on the phone and in person, I was sold! She is incredibly professional, courteous, pleasant, funny, efficient and knowledgeable and knows her job inside and out. I've had such bad experiences while looking for a space and she took away all of my concerns by answering my questions and even anticipating questions that I would have. She is definitely an asset to the company and as customers, we are blessed to be able to make her acquaintance. She is a light and leader in customer service. Keep up the great work!"
"Went in a couple days ago purchased some boxes. The girls in the office were great. Although I was not interested in storage they gave me information incase at some point that my situation changed."
"We have had such good service with Life Storage at Mokena. The ladies are extremely helpful and understanding. We intended to move out this past weekend to a unit closer to home (we recently moved to the city), and after Family Movers of Chicago kept us waiting for 5 hours before we cancelled, we were given a warm place to wait and use the restroom. Life Storage even helped us choose a reliable moving company, and turned a morning of pure frustration into something productive. The people working here are kind and compassionate and want what is best for their customers. We are sad to leave and appreciate all you have done for us over the years."
"This location have a great team employee, today was my visit and I really had a good business with them both ladys works there makes you really want have a business and I would like to say thank you"
"We rented a space last week. Tammy helped us and was very kind and helpful. Eased our mind about an open storage space for our RV. I highly recommend this location and Tammy is a valuable asset to the company"
"Tammy and Markila are awesome! They quickly processed my rental contract yet took the time to explain the process, show me the reserved space, and answer any other questions I had.
Compared to other storage firms I have used, this location is top notch as far as the appearance of the office, the restroom, and the space I reserved.
Tammy and Markila were very professional, friendly, and willing to go the extra mile in making me feel comfortable that my property would be well taken care of. They even returned my phone call in under 60 seconds! Who does that anymore!! Fantastic service!
Thank you, Markila and Tammy!"
"Very pleasant and professional staff. Always helpful with a smile. We used this facility for almost 2 years and my only regret is that I won't see them regularly anymore. Prices competitive for similar level of storage. If I need storage again, I will return!"
"The management at the Mokena, IL location does an incredible job of helping clients of their facility. They are very accommodating and Helpful.
Emanuel"

"Markila is the best! She was pleasant, knowledgeable, very helpful and made the process go smoothly. She's an excellent representative for the company!"

items on. I have gone to three buildings and still never found one"
