  "Zaul and Mel are extremely kind, friendly and welcoming. The unit was great and exactly what I needed. I asked if I could view a few other units just to compare, and Zaul had no problem with this. The overall service was very quick and Mel ran through all the information I needed and more. Each time I'd enter the facility Mel and Zaul would always greet me and ask how everything was going and offer assistance if I had any questions or needed to pick up any packing materials. Thank you!!""

  "Managers at this location were stellar, and easy to work with. The location was clean and easy to access. Wish there had been slightly more clearance for my moving truck in the driveway, but we were able to load by double-parking on Broadway, so it wasn't too bad. I wish the storage unit doors felt a little more secure. (Add another pad lock on the sliding "bolt"?) All in all a fantastic experience and one that I would repeat. Thank you."

  "First off, the LifeStorage location is BEAUTIFUL. The entrance is like a timewarp back to a beautiful bank from the 20s or something. Secondly, both individuals I worked with were extremely kind, friendly and welcoming. The unit is great and exaclty what I need. I asked if I could view a few other units just to compare, and they had no problem with this. I was so surprised how quick the overall service was (I expected it to take like an hour maybe, but I was all squared away with my key and passcode within 15-20min! perfect timing!) Thank you!!"

  "I wish I remembered names, but the two staff members I worked with were great. I've worked in customer service related roles for many years, and I'd hire either of these two in a heart beat. Both always showed genuine concern and willingness to help. I would still be renting a unit from Bob's if I needed the extra space, and I certainly intend to do so in the future if I require it. Thank you very much!"

Tracy is an exceptional brand ambassador. Even when there was a hitch with the deposit your staff promptly followed up and made sure that corporate was on top of the solution. 5 stars all the way. ;)"

  "The security, cleanliness, size of spaces were all beyond my expectations. The value is excellent. The young lady who greeted me, Tracy was a dear to work with. When I arrived for my appointment she called me by name which I definitely took notice to. The space sizes and rental prices I felt were reasonable. I was renting a U Haul truck and asked about their storage spaces and found they were about 25% higher than you. Way To Go!!!"

  "I had the difficult task of moving out of my home for 1-month while repairs were made, then moved everything back upon completion. I can say, the easiest and most pleasant part of this process was the storage of all my belongings at Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] Storage. Both Zaul and Tracy demonstrated professionalism, kindness, and a very high level of customer service. They were juggling multiple customers and pulled in a lot of directions, yet they took the time to find the perfect size unit and explain the rental process in great detail. Zaul missed lunch the day I initially rented the storage unit, and stayed late another night when I needed to extend my use of the storage unit. Simply put, Zaul and Tracy are stellar employees and work hard to provide remarkable service, always with grace and professionalism. "

  "I am very satisfied with the overall service and maintenance of the facility. The bathroom should open and functioning at all times. I've been a couple of times after office hours and found out the bathroom was locked. Not everybody can hold it on for a long time, when one has a medical reason to use the bathroom when needed. That means, urgently."

  "We wish we'd found you years ago--being able to free up space in our home was a real blessing. Our reason for leaving was simply that we have enough space in our new home for all our things. The only detractors from an otherwise amazing experience-- 1. a group of "scrappers" that seemed to be hanging out for a long time one Saturday morning didn't present the security 2. hard to find carts at times"
