The receptionist is very friendly and takes good care of you"

"I went in to life storage to find out some information regarding the storage units offered at this location. While I was there, an associate named Melissa, was extremely informative and helpful. I left with a lot of information and knowledge after answering all my questions. It was a really great and clean environment! I will definitely be back to further my business needs."
"I am so grateful for Ms. Melissa and all her help. I rented a unit online and when I got there it was wayyyy too small. I called and spoke with her over the phone and she asked that I come in to see what she could do to help. I was having a VERY BAD day just with all the stress of moving. She was able to cut down the cost significantly of renting a different unit! So basically I got an upgrade and left feeling better than when I came in! She didn’t have to go above and beyond, but she did and for that I am forever grateful!!! 10 out of 10 on the customer service☺️"
"Very convenient access storage I've used two different times while switching apartments and both times were trouble free. Melissa was very helpful, friendly, and efficient, checking me into my storage and out."

Facility is convenient and well kept up. Staff is really nice and Melissa was very knowledgeable! She showed me around and explained everything I needed to know."
"I have been at Life Storage on Essen Lane for almost 4 years now and I have seen managers come and go...but the new manager, Michelle, is amazing! I've never had anyone from Life Storage make me feel more welcome, treat me with such kindness and respect like Michelle does. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond for them! Things are finally being ran at this location the right way!"
"Most storage places I’ve been to customer service was horrible!!! This one is by far the best. Tunisia was very helpful and insured all my items would be secured and safe. I am definitely looking forward to moving in soon."

"I had a wonderful experience at the Essen Ln location where Ms Michelle was very pleasant and helpful. The storage space I purchased was very clean and the exact size that I needed for my budget. I'm so grateful for the experience that I have had with life storage."
"Michelle was an absolute angel throughout our stay. We lost our house to Hurricane Ida and moving into a storage unit was going to be stressful but Michelle made the whole process painless. She even kept checking in to see if there was anything else she could do. She made the worst part of our year feel much more manageable. We really cant say enough how much we appreciate it."
"Tunisia T. is absolutely wonderful! She is engaging, extremely friendly and eager to assist. She makes you feel like you've known her for years! I highly recommend this location because of this young lady!"
"I have been at this storage location since 2014 it has changed hands twice now it's Live Storage.
Now I'm a Traveling Chef goes all over this country,I will be late due to I'm out of town alot and if I have to pay late charges, so be it . And I never have an complaint of the late charges. But since Life Storage, the customer service is the worst. They talk down to u as if u r doing u a favor, forgetting it's because of us as customers, they have a job. When they put up the new door , items was missing from my storage unit,I brought it to the "mgr" attention nothing was ever done. I find multiple times the red lock is on my unit days sometimes weeks after it's paid ,and it's always been the same response'opps I'm sorry"
I MEAN REALLY????
Now this time I'm dealing with the lost of a luv one I get an"
"Tasha at the front desk was awesome about getting me set up. She was able to answer all of my questions and help me get what I needed. She showed me where my unit was and gave me some time to look over my unit without watching over me. Sfe did come down to check on me. She also asked if there was anything I needed and made sure I knew how to get support."
"We recently flooded on 5/17/21 and needed a storage immediately to put our furniture and belongings we were able to salvage so we could start the demo of our home. I rented a space online and was told it would be ready if I came after hours and the welcome package would be in there with a lock and key along with all the instructions. When we got everything loaded and arrived there around 8:30 we noticed it was the building way in the back and the dumpster was full right next to it. We walked in and immediately smelled the musky mold that was starting to smell in our house. There were also dehumidifiers all over. When we got to our space we rented there was no welcome package. I told my husband that it looks like this building flooded and regardless if they forgot to put the key out that I didnt want to be in this space. I didnt want to move my belongings from my flooded house into a space that flooded also. We went back home and I called the customer service number and explained the situation. She put in an email to that location for the employee to contact me in the am and to possibly relocate me in another area. I called around 10:30 am and spoke with Courtney Miles. Without hesitation she told me she received the email, had already got me another unit, and was actually picking up the phone to call me. The customer service that I had rented the unit through the night before had no idea of the flooding in Baton Rouge, so I couldnt blame them. Then the way Ms. Courtney handled the situation was outstanding! We were already going through so much and so stressed. She did the transition smooth and with no hassle on my end. We arrived to sign the transfer papers shortly after and she was such a pleasure to deal with. Friendly, polite, and very understanding. I would recommend this location to anyone needing to rent a storage unit.
Thank you Courtney Miles for your excellent customer service!!"
"My husband and I rented three units on Essen Lane at Life Storage. Everyone including Courtney at the front desk were extremely polite helpful and patient. The units themselves were clean and we had gotten the climate control and that worked out perfectly . Now earlier in the month of May 2021, 13 inches of rain fell and flooded all three of the units. That of course was not the storage units fault.Courtney was extremely helpful and considerate and that's why I'm giving it 5 stars. Due to her and everyone else that we came in contact with. The 5 stars DO NOT apply to the area manager at that time. He completely ignored all of his customers comments and concerns of the flooded units. He refused to call me back after 2 voice mails and a text. I even spoke to him face to face once and I might as well be talking to a wall. He even claimed he didn't say things that I know he did. Now that being said I know that location has a new area manager. She seemed to be better."
"Courtney was great. I made my reservation for storage online. I went into the facility and I was ready to go within minutes. Courtney was personable and helpful she understood I was a bit stressed because my Condo had just flooded she made the transaction hassle free. Thanks Courtney."
"Great Customer Service very patient staff. The move in and move out was wonderful, Dominic made sure that I had everything I needed and the size of my storage fit what I needed."
"My experience with Life Storage #8035 has been extremely positive. Office communication was courteous, friendly, and professional. The storage units and grounds were always clean and well kept. Five out of five stars!!!""
"Dominic Was the so respectful and helpful, kind and so much more on the business level and made my felt like this was my home. Love Love Love. 100 time plus for Him and this facility I rate."
"Dominic was wonderful game me everything that I need and the property was nice a clean he answered any question I had I would recommend this life storage to anyone"
"Stop by I meet the store manager (Dominic) for some prices he gave me the prices I was looking for and he told me about the property and tool me on a tour of the property and showed me different size units and what he thought I need and how everything would fit."
"I came in right before close, but the wonderful young man there got me taken care of pleasantly and quickly. He also gave me some cold water bottles to help me with moving..."
"A conveniently located property managed by phenomenal people who actually CARE about you, the person, as well as your belongings! I can not say enough good things about the customer oriented assistance we have received from the management at this location. in addition to life altering challenges we've faced, we're finally moving out from what had to be home for seemingly forever. It is definitely bittersweet, ironic, and yet fitting at the same time to be making this transition at a time of year when we GIVE THANKS FOR OUR BLESSINGS and "Life Storage". THANK YOU Dominic for your care and concern thru this time in our life. life happened and we stored it all there. Being such an Angelic part of our life, watching over us and our "earthly treasures"...A friend in need is a friend indeed!"
"Wonderful experience! Amber was helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. Her personality along with the awesome service she provided made her a pleasure to interact with. The most important part of a business are the employees you interact with and Amber is definitely an asset to the company!"
"Overall this facility is great and the employees were very professional and courteous. The employees took the time to listen to my needs and gave me the best options based on them. Thank you Brian! I will definitely recommend Life storage and continue being a customer!"
"I have been really impressed/satisfied so far! I even had to go change my storage room like a day after because I misjudged the size I needed, but Mrs. Beverly was super helpful and patient. Hope I dont have to move again but if I do, Id probably return here >7<û
@"
"5 stars because Miss Beverly was so amazingly understanding! My reservation was originally for Saturday but she accommodated me on Sunday!! She even gave my pup some cuddles to seal the deal! Thanks Beverly!"
"5 stars!! The best 2 ladies ever!! Charmaine and Beverly treat me as part of their family!! These 2 are the BEST!! They are the only reason I stay, if they are to eve leave I am leaving also!!"
"Great staff! Clean and welcoming! If you want to feel like family, I highly reccomend consulting Mrs. Charmaine and Mrs. Beverly. Ive been in the market for a storage unit, and gave them a call. They didnt take long to answer the phone and answered all my questions with with an enthusiatic attitude! Let them take care of all your storage needs!"
"Charmaine and Ms. Bev at your facility on Essen Lane are priceless. Your company is most fortunate to have these two ladies on your team. Been in this storeroom since Katrina so have seen it go through many changes. These two ladies are keepers!!
