God bless you and ur co workers hope Sean dont work for the company anymore !"
"We have been storing our things here for about a year while we transitioned from living with parents to having our own place. We never had any issues aside from one of the elevators occasionally being out of service.
Paying online or over the phone is easy. There were a couple times we were late on paying, they don't automatically kick you out... they have been patient. They do charge a late fee and your unit will be locked by them until you pay it. Minor inconvenience for their grace in my opinion. They also will call you if you forget, like I have.
This location is off of Lake street which is on a main street so it can be tricky pulling in and out. My suggestion is to go around the block and use the back parking lot entrance...so much easier.
There are flat carts available for use. It's climate controlled and in so it's not too hot/cold. We seen mouse traps in main corridors which is great ! I hate spider and we haven't really seen many at all... maybe just a daddy long legs or two. Generally an overall safe feeling. There are cameras everywhere !!
There is also a clean bathroom available during office hours. The units are not accessible 24 hours but they open pretty late (past office hours, so pay for your unit before they close or you won't be able to access). It doesn't smell bad and isn't really dusty.
We would store things here again if needed."
"The facility was fairly well-maintained. The two reasons for the 4-star rating were (1) the difficulty in finding the stairs and (2) the wobbly carts. I was never actually able to find the stairs; as a result, my friend who is fearful of elevators could not help unload on the 3rd floor."
"Bien Todas las instalaciones , iluminación acceso y muy rápido al hacer una cita y la Buena atención y Muy amable! Thankyou Sarah. Y de el otro encargado que esta , ni se diga , el es muy cortante , responde de mala gana y si te vuelve a ver te ignora o anda de mal humor siempre que me a tocado ir o hablar con el. Piensa que una conoce bien el mapa de el lugar o qué! 👀👩🏼💻👍🙏🧑🏼💻🙅🏼♂️🙍🏼♂️🤔🤨😠😤😡🦾🦾👊👎"
"I've had the pleasure of working with Sarah, she was nice and helpful. Worked with other storages and there staff, but this one is by the best!! Highly recommend, very nice!"

"I can be forgetful, and Sarah, was the first person in five years that was kind enough to call me on the fourth of the month and remind me that after the fifth, I would get a late charge. That was very thoughtful and saved me some late charges but the others never did that. They waited till after the 5th and then hounded you after charging you a $20 late fee. I appreciate her concerns, and all the other places I rented in the past always gave you a heads up prior to being late, but not this place until she started there."
"Climate controlled is definitely a joke. It's over 100 degrees in the facility and when I tried to complain the guy at the counter did nothing but argue with me. 100 a month plus insurance for a sauna basically. Would never recommend to anybody"
"I had my belongings at the Life Storage facility on Lake street in Aurora, IL. I just got what I could salvage out of this facility. Some other tenants left garbage, and the staff assumed it was mine and put it in a bag in my unit with a note stating that I would get fines if it happened again. There was mail and prescriptions in the bag addressed to someone I've never met. I had to leave my queen sized mattress, among other things that were unsalvageable due to being covered in rodent excrement. Almost everything was covered in a thick layer of spider webs and dust and it looked as if someone had used toilet paper and left it near my unit. Do not put your stuff here. You'd be better off burning your stuff than putting it in this facility. Just trash. You bring issues up with the staff and they simply don't care."
"These folks are awesome!!! I worked with Sean and everything was smooth sailing! My experience here has been superb and much better than prior storage encounters!"
"The price was right for me. Easy to sign up on line and then go in to finish paper work. Answered all questions and storage I received worked out for my needs"
"Clean, friendly people and there's always cart beds to move your items from one place to another. Only down size is it's a little stifling in there during the very hot humid days. The items are fine inside the storage unit but it's still stifling. At least to me it was."
"I've had my unit almost a year & have experienced absolutely no problems. Life Storage is great!
I'm very happy with their security, cleanliness, & customer service.
I've dealt with both Sarah & Laura & can't say enough positive about both of them-they couldn't be more helpful & pleasant!
If you rent from Life Storage, I think you'll be very happy!"
"Worst storage facility I've ever used carpet filthy bad oder get sick to my stomach when I'm by my 2 storages I still have there.There is mice feces and thousands of dollars damage to my property If not careful while cleaning and/or going through you can get what is called Hunta Virus from mice feces it's airborne and there is no cure all they can give
you is oxygen and hope you pull through .I've paid between $387.00 to $393.00 every month since May 31,2016 for damge to my property which they feel no responsibility at all
I would never refer them to anyone I just got my apt I emptied 1 of the 3 spaces one on the 2nd floor no mice but funky .=#=#=#Yes I had insurance Allstate but they don't cover infestation damage .I've been screwed by both Life Storage and Allstate=#=!=#...."
"This place surprised me! It is incredibly clean and staff (Sarah) friendly and helpful. I recommend anyone moving in the Aurora/Oswego area to stop by and get a quote. High quality for reasonable cost!"
"Life Storage is GREAT!!! Specifically Sarah who works there.... I had some very technical questions and she had the sure fire answers.... Thanks again"
"Ashley and Sarah are Always sooo helpful and kind.. It was their great customer service that kept me a customer!!! Keep up the great work ladies!!!! ????"
"The two ladies at the South Lake Street location in Aurora IL were very nice and professional. They spoke highly of their jobs, the company, and the facility. Made what could have been a pain very easy for me. Exceptional!!!"
"I love Uncle Bobs [Life Storage]storage! I have had space on and off for 18 months and always highly satisfied. Safety and cleanliness is very important to me and the Aurora, IL location is both!"
"The person who took care of us gave us his full attention when we came in from the start of the process to the end. He gave us options and seemed genuinely interested that we would be happy with the space we chose."
"I looked at 4 other storage facilities. Sean was the friendliest, the most knowledgeable and helpful. When I said I had a couple more to look at, he was very professional and encouraged me to come back after looking at them. And I did. Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] is the best value but above that, it was the friendliness and helpfulness of Sean that won me over. It seemed the other facilities didn't care if I rented or not. Sean cared. Thanks Sean!"
"David was very helpful. I didn't know what to expect as I've never rented a storage space before. Very helpful and answered all my questions I had. I'll be using them for as long as I need storage.....which could be some time. "
"booked and paid for a 8x10 unit. the unit is actually 6x10. I talked to an employee about this he tried to explain that units are not exact size. i asked for getting pricing for the 6x10. the employee said he would talk to his supervisor and get back to me. that was weeks ago. No response. "
"Dave exceeded my expectations, was Very open, informative, respectful and interpersonal. So much to the point, we initially came in to price shop and felt comfortable enough to rent today without any further price searching. I should add that the location is not in the town I live in, but was convenient enough and professional enough to drive a little further. "
"Great service and it was near the end of the day, that's when people can become nonchalant about their jobs. Dave delivered better than a pizza man on the customer service end and overall the price was definitely worth it. "
"You gave me a low monthly price and bigger storage unit than Public Storage in the same city boundary. I was paying $168.00 a month for 10 by 15 and I am now paying a $137.00 a month at Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] for a 10 by 20. So, I am saving 31 dollars a month. "
"Thank you for a great experience. We liked it so much we also rented a space for our parents and I've recommended it to several others I hope it continues to be such a great place!"
"The Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] Aurora Location #422 is operated by some of the nicest people we've ever met. The facility is spectacular! It's the cleanest storage operation we've ever used. Thank you!"
"I very satisfied by how my questions were answered and how easy it was to set everything up that day. I came in, just to ask some questions and came out with a smile and a storage unit ready for me. I was also pleased with the rental prices as well."
"I have used other storage units in the past. However there is no compat. Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] staff always rest to my questions or concerns with out hesitation. Thanks to the Aurora staff!"
"I have been a customer of Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] storage since it was I can start and I'm very pleased with my experience so far I have in the past and in the future will recommend Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] storage to friends and family"
"Dave was incredibly kind and helpful, and he was very patient with our strange situation (which involved getting one unit, then canceling it to get another, then deciding to get both, then needing to get a third).
We were going through a difficult housing situation at the time, and it was so great to feel like Dave really was on our side."
"I was unsure if the space I had would be large enough when we were moving in on a holiday so the associate, Dave, by phone provided me with overflow space next to the one I was renting. He understood perfectly what I needed and how to solve my problem. "
"not really...I stored my stuff there before Uncle Bob [Life Storage]took over... and the joint was a dive/rat trap....not so anymore...youz'e guys did a bang-up job of fixing up dah joint...now I don't mind a bit going there to get bizz.done...mark"
"shawn (manager) & dave, reserved my storage units for a longer period of time than i expected (that saved me money). and i appreciate that very much. both employees were very helpful such as by showing me how to properly lock my unit (since some people do not lock there unit properly). both employees were very friendly."
"Perfect timing on this survey! I have been intending on writing you for some time now. Seriously, I have a half written letter to your Buffalo office. I have only been a customer since last August, but I wanted to tell you about a teriffic employee you have at your Aurora, IL lake St. facility. Deanna! Awesome employee! Very kind and courteous. Such a great attitude and always in a positive mood whenever I stop in! Just wanted to pass this along... I know how it can be, not being recognized for your hard work and efforts. Deana deserves a nice thank you! Thanks for taking the time to read this, Dan"
"I am always greeted nicely, I noticed the last 2 months I have not seen Deanna. I so enjoyed her and wish her well. I am appreciative of all you offer and the nice space there."
"The hours of 6am-10pm when customers can go into their is storage space is not very convenient for me. There are times when those hours don't work for me."
"The website & in-store receipts appear confusing to customers. The bottom portion of a receipt shows the following payment due for the following months to come. So, customers think they've already paid for the following month, as well...and do not understand that it's a courtesy to show the next bill due date. "
"I was very impressed by the professionalism and helpfulness that the Uncle Bob [Life Storage]storage employees showed. I live out of state and was inquiring about a place to store my daughters automobile while she attends college back in Aurora IL and came home for the summer. They really put my mind at ease and reassured me things will be well taken care of ,as they were.
I look forward to the same service come April when I need their services again :-)"
