"I had a great experience at Life storage in Prairieville. The people were exquisite and were so nice and helpful during my time of moving. Absolutely reccomend them!!!!"
"The Prairieville-Life Storage facility is amazing! Mrs. Pearl is so friendly and helpful. She always went above and beyond for me and I appreciate her so much. I rented there for almost 2 years and I couldn’t have done it without her help.
Thanks again, Mrs. Pearl, I’ll miss you,
~Amanda"
"I love this storage it’s always clean and when my situation happened I was upset sad and Ms Pearl embraced me not knowing me and told me it was going to be okay she was kind, patient and treated me as if I was a family member . I will never forget her for that and always has encouraging words for me : Thank you Ms Pearl and Team"
"Mrs. P was very polite and helpful with setting me up with a storage unit. A tree fell on my house from hurricane Ida and I needed all the help I could get and Life Storage lived up to it’s name."
"Pearl is wonderful ! Love this store just don’t love the price! Always been a Life Storage supporter but I just got a email with another increase on my unit. (2 this year). The only reason I’m still using them is both Prairieville locations have great people working there that go above and beyond to keep their customers happy!"
"I can’t complement you enough for the great experience we received from your staff. Always friendly and helpful. The storage unit was perfect for our nearly 9 month rental while rebuilding our Ida devastated camp. Our unit felt safe and it was well maintained, always clean every time we visited. A wonderful place to keep our belongings. I would recommend you anytime! Can’t thank you enough."
"Miss Pearl has been phenomenal with helping answer any intended questions, and having patience with dealing with my account. Y’all are lucky to have her employed with your company.!"
"We have been customers for over two years, and the staff here has been so incredible! We highly recommend this location for anyone looking a place to keep their stuff safely and securely!"
"Sue was great. She actually felt like family! Great listening. Helped me to understand what I need in order to declutter to get my house on the market! Will be back for a 10x20 unit. Clean and secure facility. Highly recommend this place👍"
"Stored a boat here for two years. The management is great, very friendly and helpful. 5 stars for them! Also, I love the easy online payment. Only downsides are the periodic price increases and narrow sides for loading and unloading a boat. I could have got a larger unit on the far end, but it was almost double the price. Also, no electricity in the units was always a bummer, especially at night."
"Very Professional and very kind Mrs Pearl, a very sweet Lady. Atmosphere very clean and safe . Will recommend this place to anyone who need a unit. Thank you guys so much."
"Life Storage is awesome. Ms. Pearl is friendly, kind, and patient. She assisted me with choosing the right sized storage. She took the time to walk me to the storage so that I could see the size of it before making a decision. The staff at this location is awesome."
"Life Storage 17880 unit in Prairieville was an excellent experience . Mrs Pearl made moving a great experience. She is easy to talk to and put her customers first !!! The units will meet any accommodations you may need . I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION. Thank YOU for making moving less stressful"
"Wonderful customer service, nice clean facility. Even though my storage needs are in the future Ty and Pearl went above and beyond to answer all my questions."
"FANTASTIC customer service, Great facility, not a single problem getting what I needed. Ty and Pearl are the best and they waited for me so I could come in and sign my contract. If I could give more than 5 stars I would."
"Very professional and friendly staff. The unit is exactly what I needed, I've never had an issue with the facility, the gate, the cleanliness, or anything. I don't have anything negative to say. All around a great secure facility to store your items!"
"the people was very nice and helpful.the place clean as a pin and inside and out.i will be back as soon as i finish my business.nicest people in prairieville thanks for being so kind and helpful.[[[carroll k scott]]]]]]]]"
"Ms. Pearl was a delight to deal with and helped us in choosing the right storage and the price was unbelievable!! Would definitely recommend to everyone!!!"
"I recently went to check out this storage facility. I’m moving and not sure if my new space will accommodate my storage needs. Great place and location for my needs. Ty and Pearl were very helpful and friendly! The facility was clean and organized. Will definitely be back if I can’t fit everything into the new space!"
"Stopped by shopping for a storage unit and was greeted by Pearl and Ty. They were very helpful and answered all my questions. The property was very clean and well maintained. When I am ready to rent I will definitely visit this location."
"The staff was very friendly and helpful, Pearl and Ty made me.feel right at home. They showed me a unit and I rented right away, they all were very clean and well managed."
"Very clean facility! Units easily accessible. I am preparing to move in the next couple of months and had questions about moving supplies and storage and Ms. Pearl was able to answer all of my questions. Super friendly! Great location!"
"We have had a unit at this facility for years. The currebt management and staff are THE BEST!! We live out of state and feel comfortable that our belongings are well secured and nothing will happen to them. Thanks guys for all you do for us!!"
"From the moment I called and spoke with Ms.Pearl. She was very pleasant and kind. When I arrived to get my storage she provided the same hospitality. I would recommend this location"
"Moving is extremely stressful but they actually made it a little more bearable! I secured my unit online it was MORE than what I expected and I was VERY happy with it. The facility is VERY CLEAN and well maintained! Extra kudos to Ms. Charlene and Ms. Nina who take great pride in ensuring their customers have what they need and make it the best experience as possible. The only issue was accessibility to carts but with a little help, they made it work for me as I was moving most of my belongings, alone, before the weekend crew could help with the big stuff.
Ms. Charlene was very pleasant and eager to help with the cart issue, she was professional and courteous, and I know she cares tremendously about her customers-it shows! Thank you Ms Charlene & Nina for helping me and my family during a stressful time, a little bit easier❤️! Sincerely, Alise Burgess"
"Can't stress enough not to use this place! The main reason we chose this place was due to the cameras and great security features they supposedly have! After 9 days of use we were broken in with powers tools. The only unit and coincidentally the exterior door that goes into that building and the hallway that our unit was in were not covered by cameras. The staff were very aloof about the situation even to the point of making jokes and the manager from the other store who had to come view the tapes because this location didn't know how was clearly aggravated that she had to come view it. Huffed when asked to rewind the camera, took her glasses off and rubbed her eyes huffing. There was no apology or explanation. I requested a camera be put on at least that exterior door since we though we were getting a security camera since that's what they advertise but that entire hallway or door isn't covered and I was told "the owner isn't going to do that". So if your unit is near door 7 or 8 be warned you aren't covered by a camera. Really strange that we were broken in the very next day after we brought over a tv and two very large empty tv boxes. I'm sure the culprits were surprised by the empty boxes. How was anyone able to go undetected when no one went through the gate or were on a camera, it was if someone knew exactly what areas were not covered by cameras. But the crappy attitude was very unprofessional. I should have known when I called the very first time to reserve the unit. Tried calling a few times and finally I was answered with not "life storage, can I help you?" But instead they answered very rudely with "I'M WITH A CUSTOMER!!". I gave it the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe this employee though I was their teenage child that was bothering them. But no! Good indication of the lack of professionalism."
"I began by talking to Mark at the corporate reservation level. He was awesome. He completely explained everything about the storage building, the security, and the price options. He put our reservation on hold until we could physically get to the business office. The young lady at the office was very kind and clearly explained the policies. The business office has everything you need to pack: locks, boxes, mattress covers, t.v. bubble wrap covers, etc. The prices are reasonable. The facility itself is super clean and the temperature is perfect in the units. Each unit is easily accessible by an elevator (if your unit is not on the first floor) and flat bed carts are provided if they are needed. The security is great: you must use a code to get through the gate and on the elevator. There is lots of lighting and 24-hr surveillance cameras. This business deserves the 5 stars it gets on google."
"First, lets talk about Mrs. Charlene... She was very professional and extremely helpful during a hard time for us of not knowing what our next move was with our living situation and she actually cared to hear what we had been through.
Its not often you find a place of business that wants to listen to what you have to say rather than just taking your money.
She even told me about the history of the company which was really interesting. She has been with the company over 20 years, we know who we are using for storage for the rest of our lives!"
"The facility is really nice and clean. Shelby and Aleiceus helped make the process quick and easy. They answered all my questions and took good care of me."
"What a relief !! To deal with polite and Professional people in time of need. Store Manager Miss Vee Causey and the young man there met and answered each need. ALSO... their first months free did NOT come with any surprises. Like having to sign a 6 months lease. IT'S FREE. IF you stay a month or longer. Thank you for all you do =M=M"
"Excellent service. I came in around 5:50 although I knew they closed at 6 and Shelby the manager was so helpful. He let me see a unit before my purchase since I was unsure of the size and kindly walked me through all of the paperwork. Afterwards, although closed for business he showed me where my unit was and explained the ins and outs of accessing the unit. He went above and beyond."
"My mom and I have used this Life Storage Location for the Past 6 months or so and we had 3 storage units. The manager Shelby at the front desk as been awesome and extremely helpful since day one. If we ever had questions or concerns he was happy to help us and answer any questions we had. The facility was always nice and clean. Our units were climate controlled and they were always cool. I highly recommend the life storage in prairieville."
"Do not use life storage! Called the 1-800 number for a quote for 2 months and was told by Jillian the price would be $195 and that we could go in tomorrow and pay and begin using the unit. Showed up the next day and was greeted by a guy name Shelby and he said it would be $295 and that they recently changed policy and thats why they increased. I asked to speak to a supervisor he said that they would call me if they had time. Went back outside and called the 1-800 number and spoke to Sabrina she said someone would reach out within 24 hours and apologized, never heard from them. I think they quote low over phone and scheme people out with fees, policy changes etc. be very careful when you give your information to a dishonest company."
"I now have 3 storage units at this location! The manager Shelby is always very nice and helpful. The facility is very clean cool and comfortable and I never worry about my Personal belongings."
The entrance, aisles, and most drive-up accessible storage units are wide enough to accommodate large vehicles, up to and including 54' tractor trailers.
