"Great customer service and very clean storage facility! The representative did a great job answering all of our questions and provided all needed information."
"Maurice made things very easy for me and was friendly through the prices and communicative. The facility is clean and easy to navigate. Definitely would recommend this to my family or friends in the area!"
"This place doesnāt value their customers. Iāve had multiple units there for years but now Iāve chosen to relocate almost everything down the block to Uhaul. Carol is a long time employee that has been working at this location even before Life Storage took over. Sheās not very helpful and doesnāt seem to really care. I still have one unit there and I regret not moving even though itās such a tedious process to do so. As of recently, there have been issues with their auto pay system yet they refuse to adjust any of the late fees. Thereās no issue with my cc, yet every month they try to charge me a late fee. The ratings for this place is extremely misleading, so Iād suggest anyone reading this take their business elsewhere."
"I was in a desperate need of a storage and driving I noticed Life Storage... decided to stop in and was greeted with a Loving Smile from Carol and from that point on I felt nothing but Love... Thank You Carol"
"My family has been with Life Storage for many years even through all the name changes, but one person has stayed the same and that is Carol. She is such a blessing to your company, she is a wonderful person, always nice and pleasant to anyone who comes through the door. She is loved so much, she is a keeper."
"Carol was awesome at this location 615 W Pershing in Chicago, IL. Great customer service, friendly and professional. Looking for a storage unit temporarily or long term this is your place! Prices are reasonable and again Carol was wonderful to work with!!"
"There was a sweet lady at the front desk that always helps with any questions or concerns while there. Great customer service and extremely helpful! Much love From the Ronin Crew!"
"Loved using this space. Carol in the office was so understandable and ridiculously easy to work with. She made it a pleasure and made renting this space invaluable for me."
"I rented a storage unit for a friend of mine. I got a call from with Carol Nawrocki and she was fantastic, the process was painless and she walked me through all of my options. Very professional and helpful. I would highly recommend this place!"
"Carol from Life storage has been very kind and pleasant in her customer service is off the chain love that woman. I recommend this facility to many others."
"Not sure why this place has such great reviews... I signed up 2.5 weeks ago based on the reviews and an advertisement for a free truck rental up to 20 miles. I went in to see if I could use that free rental this weekend and was told it is only for new customers who have been renting for 2 weeks or less. It does not state the two week rule on the website and I asked to see it in the contract. Carol had me call the 800 number which I did and was put on hold to talk to a manager. The manager was Carol who I was standing right in front of... She said she'd try to help me but only tried to prove that it was a two week limit. Eventually she found a blurb in a google search that showed two weeks. Couldn't find anywhere on the website or in the contract that stated a 2 week rule. The storage facility it clean and works fine, but the customer service provided is what i'd expect at Public Storage... The intent of the so called 2 week rule is to be a perk for new customers but I guess being a 2.5 week customer does not classify me as a new customer. I will be sure to never use Life Storage again and encourage everyone to consider one of the many other options around."
"I absolutely love this place. I've been through some difficult times (as most people have) and Carol has been extremely supportive. Great customer service and whenever she could help me, she has. One particular day it was extremely hot and I was upstairs rearranging my storage unit. She bought me a bottled water. This is the way a business should be run and managed, caring about the customer."
"The 1st time I contacted a Life Storage, it was a very hectic move out. Carol was absolutely amazing. Very upbeat, and very helpful. As we have all struggled through this pandemic and experienced difficulty, she has always entertain ed my calls personally and done whatever she could do within the parameters of operations to assist me. A wonderful person. I am extremely happy and would highly recommend this location."
"great, friendly staff who made it very easy for me to setup my storage unit! The prices are reasonable and the move-in/ move-out process from the units is easy too. Carol, the facility manager is super helpful and kind as well!"
"I moved from a house to an apartment and had to store more than half of my furniture at the last minute. Carol led me through a Goldilocks array of units until we found one that was just right -- affordable and fit my things. Carol has an upbeat personality and is very responsive; important qualities during stressful times!"
"The cleanest storage Ive seen so far in this city. My items were safe and intact upon pickup. Also during this COVID-19 pandemic the manager worked with by setting up a payment plan. Ill definitely use it again and highly recommend this location which is a hidden gem."
