December 23, 2021"I had a very bad experience with life storage. I had a van reserved as a part of my offer on booking the unit in one of the location. I have the van reserved in one of the sister locations From 19th Dec 2021 to 20th Dec 2021. However, on reaching the location I find the store to be closed. There is no one to help me out. I have planned everything based on the reservation and have everything packed. However, the customer service just advised me to go home as there's no one available and no one can help me out. I was neither given a replacement at a different location nor provided any help on offering any other date of availability later. I was asked to come back on 20th morning to check with the store if the vehicle is still available which would not work for me as I would not to take a time off from my office just for that work. I was also not intimated that the sore would be closed that day and could understand that the store was closed only after I drove all the way to the store for the van. I am really frustrated and would want to give a negative rating for this experience but have no choice other than giving the least rating available. I hope they improve their customer service or at least notify customers on the changes that are taking place to their reservations and not waste a lot of their customers valuable time."

October 23, 2021"I have spent two days leaving messages regarding a text message I received for failure to pay in September, when the funds were deducted from my account. When Jessica was on State she saved this company, now they have no one competent and it shows. I also want to share how they randomly increase the rate without warning."

May 14, 2021"I don't even want to give them one star! I will tell everyone I know NOT to use Life Storage because it is not geared for customers. This is not my 1st situation with this company that has shown me that they do not care about their customers, they just care about the $$$. My latest situation I was late with my payment for about a week and they had the nerve to put a lock on my unit, of course I didn't know this and I had made a payment before leaving work to come here for a wasted trip! I've dealt with other storage companies and I could be almost a month late and they would not put a lock on and do not get me started on how horrible they treated their customers during this pandemic, not caring if people of out of work, they would never refund a late fee. Public storage really stepped up during the pandemic, carrying about customers needs, even refunding more than one months late fees."
May 11, 2021"Got Covid and was obviously busy with a child in the ER so payment was late. They charged $20 on a $31 rental and a $4.95 payment fee. Outrageous not worth it!!! I'll be moving out to a rental with better amenities and a heart. Should I have came in and paid with COVID?"
May 05, 2021"Jessica is the absolute best!!!"
April 30, 2021"Jessica was fantastic, she helped me quickly and super kindly. Thank you to her so much"

April 06, 2021"Great customer service! Stop by State St. for all your storage/Moving supplies needs."
March 29, 2021"Jessica is a great and courteous worker she helped me out to the fullest"
March 19, 2021"They will rise the price untill you move out. Then they will put you into collections for rent after you moved out. It will hit your credit and will cost 2000$ of unfair collections practices. Your stuff will be moldy for the unit. And will be better off burning the stuff and never ever putting your stuff into storage."
March 10, 2021"Life storage sucks first time using one bad experience I had no idea what would happen to all my things I was moving back home to by family and gave up my apartment so I had put my things in life storage unit everything was ok until my things got ruin by dirt and spider webs dirt had cover all my things got on boxes got on what ever I had in there how this happened is because when the wind blew is blew off that dirt underneath the storage unit and it was nothing I could bring home with me so I just left everything right there loss because I didn't have no more needs for my things when I so everything covered in dirt dust so that was the end for me never had another storage unit since"

October 29, 2020"I’ve had my rate be increased monthly, I’m on auto post and every month I’m paying a higher fee??!!! They sent a letter saying due to demand they increased my storage cost, and monthly they keep doing it! In the middle of a pandemic with a tight economy I can’t chose between storage and lights!!

May 21, 2020"Very nice for the price"
May 09, 2020"Abysmal when it comes to customer service. I'm an "essential worker" due to COVID-19; a travel nurse, who typically works 3P- 3A, or 3P-7A, I don't have much time for accessing my things due to the narrow access hours offered by Life Storage. That's a small problem that could have been addressed by honoring my request for open access to an "essential worker" who is working or sleeping the only time Life Storage makes available. This is a do able request that other storage facilities readily avail. The big problem is Life Storage will not consider so small a customer courtesy, and when I called around 2:36PM the smart mouth Pam had the nerve to say, "Well your awake now." That kind of rudeness just heaps hardship on a person visiting NH in order to help during the worse humanitarian health crises anyone alive has ever seen. Uncalled for, as is the response to the request. Moving to a facility that did say yes. "Bye Felicia" Life Storage."
April 22, 2020"The store manager Jessica was so sweet greeting us! She was extremely generous and understanding with my booking and helped me get my belongings into my unit in an orderly manner. Will definitely be using Life Storage again !!"
March 19, 2020"Customer since 2011. The staff (Manager-Jessica) and the convenient location continue to keep me a loyal customer. Only complaint is the rental increases annually. I wish they had a discount program for long term customers."
March 12, 2020"The ladies at State Street are AWESOME! As a walk in I was unsure if they would be able to assist me with the size I needed/door. They went above and beyond to make sure I had the appropriate accommodations. I highly recommend this facility to anyone in need of storage."
March 11, 2020"This was the least expensive storage facility in my area and you get what you pay for. I suggest obtaining personal property insurance to cover loss of or damage to your belongings."
February 27, 2020"The girls on state street are wonderful!!!!! Thanks for the help. If you guys need moving supplies or storage come see them!!! JESSICA AND MICHELLE ROCK!!!"
February 20, 2020"Jessica at 24th&State displays exceptional customer service and is the epitome of who I would like to represent my business. She was patient and took time to answer all of questions. She is a great frontline person and face to represent LifeStorage."
February 11, 2020"Jessica was very nice and helpful. Very polite and gave detail information regarding the storage process."
February 07, 2020"I love this place! The location is convenient and the staff is absolutely awesome! If you are looking for storage in the South Loop, this is the place!"
February 05, 2020"The service is great! I have zero complaints , the ladies at the facility are very courteous and friendly."
February 04, 2020"I was renting out a unit for over 6 years and not once have I had a bad experience. They are beyond courteous and its amazing that they can keep that up all this time as a business and company. Even people who rent here are so nice! Jessica is the sweetest person to ever deal with along with Michelle. They really go above and beyond which is sadly rare in companies these days. If youre looking for a storage place, this is it! Look no further"

December 30, 2019"Life storage on state is awful. The elevator has been out for over a month and they have no updates. I will be getting out soon."
December 29, 2019"This location is very clean and the staff is very efficient. Michelle was WONDERFUL she helped with my items because the elevator was out, her customer service is exceptional. Definitely recommending this location to friends and family."
December 26, 2019"Michelle was very helpful!!! Love this place!!"
December 26, 2019"I would store here again and again. For almost 2 years, ALL of my items were safe and secure. I was even shocked myself because I never did a self-check over those 2 years. Excellent Service!!!"
December 23, 2019"I have been a storage unit owner with LifeStorage on State Street for 2 years and love it. I just got another unit and the LifeStorage staff have been so friendly and helpful.

Your agent Jessica seems to be the one I've encountered the most. This could be due to my work schedule. But;those whom I spoke to: Like Michelle was great also."
December 18, 2019"Although almost convenient if you live in th south Loop, rental pricing is in line with its location. Staff there tends to be arrogant and unhelpful. One positive is indoor loading dock for one vehicle."

November 29, 2019"Good access hour clean facility"
November 25, 2019"Horrible experience!! This place is over priced and to top it all off the freight elevator has been broken for over a month. My movers had to move heavy furniture down an entire flight of stairs. What a nightmare...I don't recommend"
November 23, 2019"Life Storage was recommended to me by a friend. I had a really great experience at Life Storage on State Street. I had the pleasure of working with Michelle. Michelle was super friendly, extremely helpful, and informative. I'll also be recommending Life Storage on State Street."
November 20, 2019"Worst Experience Ever, Street Entrance Closed off, Spoke with Manager before renting, manager never stated Street was blocked or closed off... inclusive was told that they had a loading Bay...that's not even working and all the way on in the front of the building. Rear dropping off is small and inconvenient. Made me buy a lock and finding out I had one refused to refund me the money. There are return policies in effect that allow me to return and manahy still refused. Their policy on insurance states it's not needed or required bin the contract but manager forces you to get it or you cannot rent which goes against their policy. In addition their facility has traces of rodent feces. Never agay I'll take my business over to another storage location"

September 18, 2019"Michelle and Jessica were great!!They gave me a walk threw of the facility which was nice and clean and gave me great information to leave with.....GREAT STAFF!!! Will definitely recommend ==="
September 17, 2019"Stay away from this storage facility! Why? See the attached photo! At first they didn't want me to change storage units they just want to give me plastic to cover my stuff! So nice of them right. They all of a sudden care about my stuff, they don't want it wet. AFTER THE FACT! When I insisted that I want another storage unit they gave me one. It was a waste of my evening moving all my stuff to a different unit! But even when my time was already wasted moving all my stuff the lady at the desk stopped me from moving my stuff because i need to sign some papers and because they close at 6pm. So it's okay that my time was wasted moving but you need to leave at 6 so you need to stop and rush me to sign papers. I applaud this facility! It is the closest one to my apartment so I have no choice right now and I don't have time to look around just yet. But I will find a new storage unit soon!"
September 16, 2019"Jessica is awesome and her service was great. I appreciate the help. Thank you!"
August 24, 2019"I was very pleased overall but my only complaint is that the entry codes were not working for a WEEK, causing me challenges to enter my unit when I was trying to move out. I find it hard to believe that the codes were down for that long; it should have been fixed much sooner."
August 23, 2019"Jessica and Michelle.... Helped me out so much treated me great and showed me around very well"
August 22, 2019"Signed up for the online discount and kept getting the run around. I ended up having to pay full price and get credited later. I wasn't pleased as each associate reassured me that it would e be an issue when doing into the store"

April 16, 2019"This place is disgusting, the filthiest storage Ive ever rented. They never clean the floors, the walls of the elevator are forever greasy, and there is a serious rodent infestation. I had two large units and one of them turned into a latrine for the mouse population. Not only the floor was littered w doo doo, but shelves and boxes. I mean everywhere. I found a dead mouse in each unit. Often there are no carts available. The bathrooms are often locked, and not so clean you would want to use them anyways. The only reason I am giving it two stars and not one is because the women who manage the office are nice."
