"Easy! Clean! Super nice! Staff is super helpful. Only thing is u gotta buy a barrel lock here ($20) no padlocks. Two docks with different loading heights!"
"We’ve had a great experience while renting with Yolanda. I’ve been renting with Yolanda and been assisted with every question as well as helped when I misplaced my key. The loading dock has been very accessible and the facility has been very clean. There’s also a bathroom on the site which helps for long moves."
"Jamonte Badger and Store Manager were fantastic, top shelf friendly customer service and exceptional Storage services that are well maintained and best of all CLEAN. I would definitely recommend anyone looking to rent some space definitely try here"
"I've had a storage space at Life Storage for several months now but needed to upgrade to a larger one. Turns out the size I wanted is hard to come by. I saw one online and went to the store later but it had already been rented. I was bummed by Yolanda was so helpful and sympathetic. Here we are, two months later, and one finally appeared! Yolanda was working again and made the process so easy explaining how it would work, how much I'd be charged and what credit I'd get from the unit I was vacating. Additionally, we talked a bit about a few person things. It was nice to have a pleasant, relatable human being to chat with for a minute. Life Storage is very secure where you need codes to open the garage door and a code again to access the elevator. The building is extremely clean. The only thing I'd change is that sometimes all the carts are in use when I arrive. I wish there were a few more of them! I'd recommend Life Storage. Oh, and the prices are competitive. I did quite a bit of research on locations and prices before booking."
"Definitely recommend life storage. Staff is always very helpful and are willing to help you out. Staff Yolanda E. Is such a great helpful staff member as well with an optimistic attitude. Been storing for 2 years. Place is always maintain and clean."
"The rates in this storage place go up every month. There’s also barely any parking. It sure doesn’t help us store our things when employees park in the docks. Today especially we had a bad experience with one of the female workers there. We usually have a feeling that she does not like us being there. And she is always making it difficult for us to store our things. She is never considerate of our feelings or of our equipment. She always leaves doors open so we are super cold while unloading. And when we tell her we are cold, she refuses to turn up the heat. I understand that sometimes customers can give you a hard time or that sometimes you come to work in not such a great mood, but once it turns into an every time thing, then we have to speak up."
"OMG, she (Yolanda) saved the day! I started with Michelle at the State street location who started the ball rolling then referred me to Carol at Pershing. Carol took it from there to connect me with YOLANDA. She is awesome I told her what I needed the space for and she walked me through the online process. It was quick and simple and I had my space just like that, I was done."
"Wonderful experience! Staff attention, guidance and care throughout the signup process is better than expected and Manager Yolanda’s friendliness already made me feel at home.
The facilities themselves are pristine, well lit and super secure. And the prices were great. Ideal storage rental and highly recommended!"
"Yolsmall-Echols helped us out so much today we really appreciate you! Thank you for looking out for us if anyone is looking for great service with clean units come see are girl!! 😁😁"
"Amazing experience from start to finish! Yolanda was so nice and informative. Never any issues with my unit. Climate control is great and building is safe and secure. Closing my unit was easy and the whole staff was so helpful. Would definitely recommend!"
"The staff were both amazing! I was running late trying to get some extra boxes 3 minutes before they closed and they were so welcoming and helpful! They even showed me how to fold the boxes up for easier carrying since I was walking a few blocks away and had my hands full. Can’t say thanks enough!"
"Popped in to get boxes and stuff for my upcoming move, and Yolanda helped me find everything I was looking for! Yolanda was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and she offered excellent advice so I left feeling like I had everything I needed."
"The staff was friendly the space itself conveniently fitted everything if mine just right and the access time shut off of 10p.m. gives you ample time to take care of business during the day and still have time to stop by your unit to access your things"
"Yolanda was kind and friendly! She was so helpful in picking out a unit and completing the agreement. Marcos made sure I had the proper instructions to get to the location and had everything I needed before coming to sign the agreement. Wonderful staff! Thank you!"
"I purchased a storage unit on feb 5th, with the help of Yolanda and Marcos. The two were extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the facility and what would best fit my needs. They got me processed and ready to go very quickly and I appreciate that. Great customer service! Would highly recommend this location!"
"Yolanda was at the front desk and was very polite and courteous when handling my payment. The front is always playing and has easy access come in and out. I've been with them for many years and I've always been good to me."
"This life storage location is great! Always clean and neat. Marcos was super friendly and professional. He was very helpful explaining things to me. Definitely recommend this location for all your storage needs."
"Yolanda and Marcos are always around to help me make sure I have the right size space, access to moving carts and know where/when my packages are delivered with a smile on their faces. I highly recommend this facility."
"Stored some things here for about a year and a half. Always found great service from the front desk. Rates were good. If I ever need storage in the future, I’ll definitely be using Life Storage again."
"Great customer service, even tho I kept calling the young man Carlos he (Marcos is his name) didn’t get upset... was so helpful, place was nice and clean... ohh my the welcome bag was a surprise lovely touch. Thanks for making it so easy to get setup as well 👍🏽😁"
"Yolanda was beyond helpful and thoughtful making the experience of renting a truck so easy! She started work early just to make sure I got my truck easily. Thank you Yolanda!"
"Yolanda is very knowledgeable and professional. The property is well maintained and very clean . I highly recommend this location for all your storage needs!"
"I had great experience with Yolonda and Samantha when I first arrived on 9/19. As Yolonda was Training Samantha and providing all the necessary info and even went over things that I didn’t expect. When arriving on 9/22 I was dealing with Ray, which he was on his personal phone on speaker when I entered the office, and continued his call while I was standing there asking questions. I asked Ray if there were any available units that were the same size that I have currently? He confirmed that there was an exact same size unit on the same floor closer to the elevator. I asked if I can move units if available he stated that it will be an up charge to move over 5 spaces. I asked why? He said because we are packed after telling me that there was an available unit closer. Great customer service."
"Great service! Everyone in store and on the phone that I interacted with were extremely helpful and friendly. I had to transfer units and they made it as seemless as possible.
Also the location is easily accessible, the facility is very clean, the climate controlled units are a good temperature and humidity level, even on a fairly hot day. Plus two easy access loading zones."
"Yolanda and Samantha have excellent customer service. I really recommend this storage for any usage. Service is beyond awesome and the facility is really clean."
"My first time renting a storage unit and Yolanda was more that helpful through it all. Yolanda was calm and very friendly while walking me through all the paperwork and policies. Also, charming and funny!!
Thank you !!"
"La gerente Yolanda me ayudó con toda la información me mostró el lugar me dio el primer lugar muy bueno limpio completamente muy buena atención de la gerente le recomiendo"
"This is the nicest storage facility I've ever used. It's super clean, secure (you have a personal code to enter the building and use the elevator), they have carts for renters to use, and the attached enclosed loading area is fantastic. I didn't know storage places could be this nice, and the cost is reasonable too! Yolanda, the manager, is friendly and helpful."
"I had an empty storage space sitting forever that stressed me out. Finally went to close it down only understanding a fraction of how troublesome losing the key was.
Rey was friendly, determined and at ease spending over an hour drilling and breaking my dumb lock open. I would have been mean and complained if l were in his shoes but he was patient and upbeat. Thank you so much and the next time l rent it’ll be easier!"
"Yolanda is great, and America too! I have been a renter with LifeStorage for three years, and they are always so helpful. I spend a lot of time working in my unit, and they always let me know when I have had deliveries, etc. Really appreciate this team!"
"America was fantastic and she got me set up with a unit right away! The space is clean and super secure. Would highly recommend Life Storage and America!"
"Yolanda was really amazing, she nicely answered my questions, showed me the space and explained how things work there. After my conversation with her I decided to rent the space right away and every time I go there she's always happy to help."
"I've been storing my stuff here for the better part of a decade, back when it was Uncle Bob's storage. Outside of price changes due to new management, I've had nothing but positive experiences. Unfortunately due to certain circumstances, I've had to move all my things to a new place. Yolanda was incredibly helpful and polite and guided me through what I needed to do to close my account, and I really appreciate her help."
"Yolanda was absolutely amazing!
She made sure I was able to get a certain unit regardless of technical difficulties.
We played phone tag for about 3 hour and eventually was able to get the perfect unit. She never sounded frustrated or peeved.
The world needs more Yolandas. e"
"Yolanda's Customer service over the phone was great! She sent me the link I needed instantly before we even got off the phone. Thanks Girl!
See you soon"
"Yolanda was very nice and helpful with everything. She made sure I was settled in and I found everything. This is a great location, very clean and everything was there in my storage for me when I arrived."
