"Picked up unit I won at auction. Staff was super polite and accommodating. If I rented a unit, I would definitely rent here. Clean faculty, very polite staff, reasonable prices."
"Bought a storage unit there at auction for 16k and was able to get ahold of the prior owner. I thought it was fishy that he kept books of his inventory and all his good cards were missing. Was told where to find his very valuable baseball cards. When I opened the white cabinet there was only 1 box of valuable cards and the rest were gone! It appears that a manager had ransacked his unit prior to me picking it up. Beware because they will steal your belongings quickly! Lady behind the counter was incredibly rude also. Well lady I'm a customer just like everyone else on here and should be treated as such. I rent more units in a year than most people do in their lifetime. DO NOT STORE YOUR VALUABLES HERE!"
"These people are con artists who like scamming people out of their hard earned money. Purchased a very expensive storage unit from them recently and either one of the managers took all the good stuff out or they let the owner take out the valuables prior to the sale leaving me with 16,000 worth of worthless cardboard. That's called fraud! Nobody has a collection this size and not have anything good! They overlooked one box that had value in his white cabinet...that's how I know he had decent stuff. They pulled out signed autograph photos leaving only the certificate of authenticity..another blatant sign this was entered into prior to me receiving the contents. I fly all around the USA buying the best of the best so I can tell when a unit has been tampered with. The manager told me she used to sit with the guy and help him sort his cards and that she was a sport fan. Not the first time I've had a manager bust into a unit and take stuff and probably won't be the last. The last manager I caught red handed and she lost her job. What's really sad is I'm a not for profit thrift store and donate a large chunk of my profits to children with cancer. Shame on you!"
"The place can't really be rated. The safety of your items is not there. Conditions in units are buggy, dirty and not good. The management team is unprofessional and mouthy. I do not recommend storing your fine valuables here!!!!!!"
"watch out for your vehicles in this storage, I was told by the staff this lot is safe and don’t have to worry about anything and I came to pick up my work truck with 2 catalytic converters missing. $2,500 plus tax down the drain, owner doesn’t want to take any responsibility!!!"
"I would love to take a moment to say thank you to Nancy W at life storage I have been there for almost 2 years now and Nancy has always provided me with the best customer service experience I thank you soo much for your up beat attitude and friendly approach"
"Nancy was fabulous. Great customer service. It was very much appreciated with the stress of moving to have a smiling face and kind words. We've used Life Storage before and it's always great. If we ever need storage again we will most definitely be back. Thank you so very much Nancy. ☺️"
"Once again Nancy shines whenever an issue arises, I wish I had employee's like her. 5 star Employee, thx life storage. I always use this location because of Nancy..!!"
"I gave this facility 2 stars for the actual site for cleanliness and being indoors. As for customer service 3 empty, hollow stars. I have been having some major health issues that God is seeing me through. The problem with this facillity is the staff, they are unempathetic, rude and condescending. I decided to get insurance for my site for half what I pay at the facility. My rent is due on the 30th with a grace period of 5 days. I called on the 31st and told them of my change in insurance spoke to Jocelyn she said she would send me some forms via email which she never did. I kept checking my email nothing. You can call the facility and it seems to be always closed no answers. I called on a Monday spoke to Jocely and she said she had sent it very rudely. I then spoke to Nancy and I recieved it in minutes at this point I decided to go in person with the signed documents. I have been in customer service all my life. I owned a business as well and I treated my clients with respect and integrity. You want them to come back and referrals is big for growth. Jocelyn never sent the email causing me to be slapped with a 20% late fee... she smirked and was extremely rude making a comment that she had - had problems with me before. 1) I left the lock on my site accidentally open. Which I was very grateful for and promptly remedied and another time I was upset because they raised my rent without sending me an email they were going to. I contacted their district manager who was very nice he said he would look into hopefully he did. We the customer pay their salaries and the upkeep of their facilities plus the profits to their shareholders or owners without us there is no business. If you do not like working with the customer do not be in customer service.
It is a shame when you feel badly about a place you frequent. I have one more surgery after that I will be removing my items from there. Unfortunately I feel now like my items are being held as hostage.
I have been there 7 years. Never a friendly face... it's okay as long as you do not go in person. Two people working and it's always closed.
Maybe all these great reviews are from a quick phone conversation.
They are good on the phone not in person then not even that for the email was never sent. I asked for proof none could be given. So store your items there just do not be present with the staff."
"horrible storage spot with rude employees(Nancy) and the place is always dirty, so weird to see so many positive reviews regarding staff , i’m a very friendly and polite guy always courteous when talking to Nancy and she always has the worst attitude with me , if you want a cheap storage spot with friendly staff and super clean environment head to extra space storage in chicago ride 100x times better then this dump, this place smells like urine when pass certain areas I almost slipped multiples times because no one ever cleans the hallways. but ultimately I left because nancy is just the rudest and was tired of being disrespected on multiple occasions ."
"for some reason it seems that Nancy has a personal vendetta against me she’s always being rude to me , accused me of smoking weed in my car, will always blame me for breaking the rules when I take pictures of people breaking the rules every single day, now there’s kicking me out of the facility which is fine but i have a array of pictures and videos that will be sent up to supervisory management . whenever I park in these areas i was asked to move and one time i was asked when there was no space to even park , yet whenever i come into the facility there’s cars in my way Nancy never asks them to move. in my opinion quite weird and seems racially motivated considering some other customers reviews of arabic decent. I was told I couldn’t be on the past last 11, yet the day I was there till around 12 that led to my lease being ended by Nancy, 4 other cars left before me between 1130- 12, and they are cars and people I still see so I know that she’s picking and choosing who she wants to stay at the facility ."
"this facility is great location, promotion was good and the customer service was nice both ladies are helpful, would recommend this location to anyone."
"this is a very nice facility I have enjoy renting here and will recommend anyone else to rent. The two ladies at the front desk are very helpful and polite."
"keeping the aisles sweeped and cleaned would be my only recommendation for the place. everything else was great though. thank you for having me as your customer."
"Very great staff. Jocelyn and Nancy answered all my questions and also added suggestions to help me as I am a first time user. Very pleasant people to deal with. They make the company successful. Thank you. John."
"I've been a customer at this location for years. Jocelyn and Nancy are the best. they both are a huge reason why i keep returning every year. great customer service, always professional. if you are looking for a storage location i would highly recommend this location."
"Nancy and Jocelyn are absolutely Amazing! They both offered a stress free experience and were both extremely knowledgeable, friendly and resourceful. I highly recommend this location for any of your storage needs.
Hub Hugs and Good Vibes"
"Love this location, always clean and well lit. Jocelyn and Nancy have been amazing throughout my whole experience. Even during these horrible times they always have a smile on their faces and always willing to help with anything you need.."
"It is clean inside but the longer you rent a spot the more it costs. They raise the rent every year but will rent a new person get in at a lower rate. Of course it will go up but will take time to reach your old rate"
"Nancy is simply the best. She is personable, funny, and efficient. I feel confident that my belongings are in good hands! Folks in downtown Chicago, check this place out."
"Nancy is the absolute best! Made my move as blissful as could be! Very nice and very knowledgeable and provided the best options for me that suits my storage needs.
Great location and definitely recommend!
- Bryant Bowens"

"I've used many storage locations over the decades, but this one, by far, has been the best. It's Very Clean! The personnel are wonderful! They have multiple four wheeled long dollies for customer use. The Manager is the best. Very friendly! If I wasn't moving out of state, I would never use another Storage location. Life Storage of Bridgeview, IL... A1! Thanks for everything Nancy!"
"I was extremely happy with my time there I’ve used other storage facilities and this was by far the best and Nancy is outstanding just love her I hope I got the name right she’s the manager and she’s just the best"
"Thank you for responding and coordinating with me, prior to moving here. It eased my mind a lot, You touching base with me, during the relocation process and delays on my end."
"We had just left another storage unit, and had received terrible customer service. We came here and Nancy treated us so well!!! She met all our needs and more. 110% recommend!"
"My husband and I were there a few days ago, we meet Rochelle. She was so nice and sweet. She was so patient showing us different spaces we were not sure on which size we wanted. Good place to store our extra items we don't want in our garage. Easy access and like I said kind and sweet people at front desk. Thank you!"
"I have been a returning customer for the past 5 years. Nancy and Jocelyn from the bridgeview,il location have always treated me very well. Because of how great these two workers are is one of the main reasons i have continued to and will continue to return."
"Came in for a unit and Jocelyn took care of me very quick and professionally. Great customer service and location is clean and very secure love all the cameras."
"Customer service is so, so important. Alyssa in the main office was outstanding! She was one of the most professional representatives I've ever come across, and has excellent conflict resolution skills. The way she stepped in and handled a situation regarding a refund for the admin fee (long story, not necessary) was very impressive. She is clearly management material if she isn't already. She very clearly explained everything to me, walked me through to my unit and showed me the ins-and-outs of my unit...but it was her customer service skills with me that impressed me the most; the "soft skills" not everyone has. I must also add that the walkways in between are all laminate, I believe, and not concrete like our last storage facility. This makes the building less cold and also less noisy while pulling equipment through to the unit. The location is nice and very easy to get to, and they have great specials. Be sure to register for Rapid Rental online before arriving so you can save the $25 admin fee! Overall, a wonderful experience and wonderful facility. Oh, about the refund experience I mentioned; Alyssa called her boss and left a message about it; she called back not even an hour later saying it was granted to me based on the situation. Wow!"
"Had the most wonderful experience here today! Very very Helpful Woman by the name of Nancy, helped me find the perfect unit, for a reasonable price with ease. Thank you, Nancy!"
"I was looking online for a storage places and I seen this one was near me. What stood out to me was that its an indoor place! Ive never rent a storage out and Im so glad I got it here. Its very clean and the ladies that helped me were so professional and helpful. I reserved my storage online and the very next day, I had someone call me which was very impressive.
Then I found out I was in a time crunch, at last minute I had to get my storage a day before my reservation. I ended up at Life Storage at 5:40pm and they took care of me so well, I did not feel rushed or like an annoy customer that comes right before closing. Lol
Great job ladies :)"
"Place is clean customer service is great and I would recommend this storage facility to anyone its so convenient the property is clean and prices and promotions were great when I signed up."
"As a former employee of Life Storage, I know what the company requires of their employees and they should be very proud to have Nancy. She was great, very customer service oriented and very professional. Shes a great asset to the company."
"I really do like this facility its very clean and the people at front desk are great very helpful, will always recommend family friends to store here."
"Front Desk is so great they are really helpful both young ladies who work there have always been so helpful, place is so clean always felt safe having my personal belongings there."
"We have stored at other places and have had a variety of challenges, while here, we feel always completely satisfied across a variety of essentials which makes us grateful for the discovery of of your storage system!"
"I have been very happy with the Bridgeview site. I know that my items are safe and secure. The building is always clean.
I would suggest new carts. They suck."
"I have been a customer at the Bridgeview, IL, store for quite sometime. The facilities are always neat, clean, and in order. Nancy and Denis are always professional, cordial, and great people to do business with. They always provide excellent customer service. I can honestly say this location is the best storage facility I have ever done business with. I guarantee you can attribute that to the service provided by Nancy, Denis, and the rest of the staff. Thank-You for listening!"
"We have has a Unit with Life Storage for sometime and we upgraded to a bigger unit, the Manager was very helpful and pleasant to work with. My only disappointment is you all don't offer coffee anymore and the front office was a bit messy, I think under remodeling or getting painted. Overall always a pleasant experience. We are very satisfied with this facility and location. "
"The facility is always kept clean the office manager her name is Nancy she always greets everyone with a smile and has respect for everyone she is truly an amazing woman"
