"The facility was always very clean, much more so than I had expected it to be. The staff in the office were very friendly, I could tell that they were genuinely trying to be helpful with whatever concerns I approached them with. The only concern I had during my stay at Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] was that when I started renting there, it was not called "Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]". This change of hands during my stay made my rent go up, which I realize is out of the control of the staff at the facility and so I do not blame them, but one reason that I picked my particular unit was due to price, and I was somewhat disappointing for that price to have changed."

"The drizzle of chalk from the walls (white dust from the walls and ceiling) was a bit annoying. All of my stored furniture and boxes were covered in white chalk when I picked them up. The two trolleys that were provided were also quite old and falling apart, which made storing and removing my items more challenging. But the building felt very secure and I never thought that my storage unit would be broken into. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. The absolute best part was the simple online payment system. The reminder e-mails and the automatic payment systems made paying while I was living out-of-state and while on vacation super easy (and easy to remember!) "

"Expectations were met. Carol has a phenomenal attitude.She was not my representative when I came into the store initially but she was helping other customers and I couldn't help but notice. Then I called in to make a payment and she helped me 1 month later she was still above and beyond. I have worked in customer service for plenty years and yes she is great!"

"Carol is an amazing manager --always cheerful and extremely helpful. She is a delight to work with and makes visiting the storage locker a "family outing"! I have given up my locker to save money as it was almost empty, but my experience at Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] was very positive! "
