"I need a manager to call me right now.
I updated my credit card information over the phone and now I am being charged a late fee.
The representative will not help me."

The facility was always clean and my time at your establishment exceeded my expectations."
"The Associate I worked with at the West Addison Street location in Chicago was amazing. I think her name was Susan and she was very helpful, polite, and accommodating. I had just driven in from the east coast as I was moving to Chicago for a job, and she greeted me, and helped me understand everything. She is an awesome asset to your company! "
"In all my storage experience you guys have been the best...my ONLY issue is personal: i REALLY LIKED the green branding! it was very distinctive, and comfortable. The blue/yellow combo tends to the generic/corporate feel ...but i'm an artist, so i notice stuff like that... otherwise, thanks for you're being such a good Company!"

"a very nice facility and the manager, a lady whose name i have forgot, was a doll. so helpful in setting up auto pay and closing down my account when needed.
please recognize her for top notch customer service."
"The overall cleanliness and friendly staff was very helpful and appreciated during my hectic move. The free cargo van rental was also a great option I wasn't expecting to have."
"The fact that I can make payments over the phone is very convenient for me because many times I'm on the field and I don't have access to a computer. "
