"Everything was very clean. The woman who helped us (who I believe was a manager) was very helpful and very nice. As being first time renters she made sure we understood everything and showed us to our space. She was genuinely happy to help. There was a gentleman that was waiting behind us and she greeted him and acknowledged him to let him know about the wait time for her to help us to make sure he was ok waiting. I find that so important as a customer just to be acknowledged even if I can’t be helped immediately. I would recommend this company and definitely this location to anyone I meet."

"Your staff was on time in the office and always helpful. Interviewed other national sites and even with an appointment they showed up late to start the day. I especially liked knowing there was staff when I used my storage space. I hope you continue to grow in the area."

"Since taking over Alsip storage, the lot is much cleaner, but I do not really deal with the staff that much so those answers are mostly moot.
I do wish you would put the dumpster back though....."

"Sarah and Sarah both helped me through the move in process. I was a transfer in from Public Storage due to Uncle Bobs [Life Storage]being closer to my house and have to admit, although I did not have any real problems from Public Storage, my experience with Uncle Bobs [Life Storage]was very smooth and friendly. They took the time to explain everything and the facility was clean. Very happy so far"
