"Highly temperature-controlled storage units. A bit expensive, but if you are late on a payment be sure to just contact them. You'll likely have to pay a late fee but your belongings won't immediately be thrown away. (Better to get them out on time, though.)"
"Good facility, convenient and clean. If you are renting for short-term it's a good option. However, somewhat of a bait and switch as they provided a good rate for the first year, then increased the rent from $187/month to $219/month. At the same time, the website offers a rate of $157 for the same size unit if you are a new customer. While prices everywhere are going up, that is more than double the current inflation rate. I called and spoke to the staff who referred me to Cindy Kelly, the manager. Cindy was very sympathetic and polite, but essentially said there is nothing she can do. The only option would be to rent a different unit online and then come in and move my stuff. Seems like they treat their customers the same way cable companies do - offer discounts to new customers while gouging existing customers with the hope that people won't bother to complain or deal with the hassle of finding another unit."
"Raised my rent without notice. Facility is never locked. Homeless people live inside building. I was initially at the Peirce on Scott Street location I never had an issue there for almost a year since I’ve moved to this facility I’ve had nothing but problems I’ve had to call the police numerous times on people loitering at the facility I’m concerned of my property not being safe as the building is never locked."
"Cindy was so wonderful and helpful, got me the best deal , will be Recommending the this storage place for anyone who needs storage! Come and visit Cindy"
"Great staff and nice facility, with the added bonus your life falls apart and you end up having to stay in the unit, it ain't too bad. You're a stone's throw away from Portland near adult dance club Rick's Cabaret previously known as PTs lounge."
"Very friendly and helpful staff. Great prices as well as a starter promotion, convenient parking. We initially booked a 5x5, then had to upgrade to a 5x10, was able to do with no hassle over the phone. Very clean facilities with easy but secure access.. Will definitely use them again, next time when I need a storage facility."
"Really nice facility, and amazing employees! Every worker I’ve talked to has been so helpful and they’ve gone above and beyond in every way, especially the woman who helped me today! She saw I looked confused at the gate and immediately helped me out!"
"Cindy at life storage has been fantastic for the Maine Veterans Homes needs we continually have unexpected needs for storage units and she has gone out of her way to accommodate our needs.A1."
"Not only was the facility immaculate at all times, but the staff was always reliable and responsive in a timely manner, always onsite to help in any way. Great place run by great people. Highly recommend."
"Great storage, Cindy Kelly was very nice and helpful with my storage unit. Easy access to load and unload and had plenty of dolly’s to move my stuff."
"I love this place! Great customer service, amazing storage space, safe, dry, temperature control. They suggested discount for us after being there for a while. Highly recommend them!"
"I spoke with Cynthia in the office and she was super helpful, I greatly appreciated that! The facility was very well kept and very easy to access. Even what appeared to be a bird refuge at the back was cool! Very nice place."
"I actually never visited the office, but did communicate several times with staff over the phone. Every single experience was of the highest caliber: staff was courteous, informed and helpful. And the facility is eat-off-the-floor clean!!"
"I happened to notice this place and I was in need of a climate controlled storage unit so I stopped in. Cindy immediately layed all my options out for me and took me on a tour and showed me a few different options. She was SO helpful and knowledgeable. She made sure to find me the best price for the unit I decided to rent. The moving process was SO easy. Plenty of parking space directly in front of the sliding doors next to the elevator . Plenty of handcarts and dollies to make the move from uhaul to unit. The assistant store manager made sure we knew where our unit was day of move. Thanks yall for everything! We LOVE our clean, easily accessible storage unit."
"So my daughter needed to get a rental unit for a couple months. We came to life storage at 150 Riverside St. in Portland. We had the pleasure of meeting Cindy Kelly the store manager. All I can say is outstanding customer service! One of the friendliest people ever! She treated us like family like we’ve known her forever! Thank you!!!"
"Had a great experience at this location; very clean and well maintained. Really friendly and helpful staff. Only rented a space for a month but it worked out great!"
"Conveniently located, bright and spacious, the facility functions as expected; but the real gem here is the staff. Cindy Kelley and Nicole Dubois provide the kind of guest service that falls nothing short of absolutely amazing, with regard to customers and the grounds alike. They are equally attentive to the cleanliness and orderliness of the building (amenities included), as they are the well-being of the clientele and their precious belongings. They've been nothing but the most gracious and knowledgeable hosts, and always made sure to ask if there was anything they could help me with each and every time I saw them. 5 stars indeed, and I would give more just to the fantastic ladies if I could!"

"I have nothing but positive things to say about Life Storage. On the phone and in person, in every interaction Cindy and Nicole are very courteous, friendly and helpful. I wasn't sure what size unit I needed, and they were able to hold two sizes at the current price until I could make a final decision, and there was no pressure to choose the larger, higher priced unit. On moving day, when my movers initially thought my unit would not be large enough for all of my things, Nicole was able to talk me through other options, again without any pressure to make a decision on the spot, which was great because as it turned out, I didn't need extra space. Their flexibility and positive attitudes were key to making a stressful move less stressful! The facility is clean, secure and easy to access. There is a restroom, plenty of carts, and elevators are fast. Last but not least, they inspect to make sure everything is as it should be--I thought I locked my unit when I left the first day but didn't install the lock correctly and didn't realize it wasn't secure. I got a call the next day with a heads up so I could go back and fix it. I am glad I chose Life Storage!"
"What a great company to do business with. Nicole is so helpful, knowledgeable and patient. Moving is stressful but with LifeStorage and Nicole that is one part that I can relax about. The new Riverside location in Portland is clean and easy to get to, literally just off of Exit 48. Count me in as a happy LifeStorage customer."
"Cindy was absolutely incredible! So understanding of my questions and answering them fully. She walked me around the facility and showed me the size locker I had inquired about so I could see if my items would fit! Brilliant service!"
"Fantastic experience. Nicole was extremely helpful and efficient as well as very friendly. I will recommend this facility to any one I know that has storage needs."
"Best storage place ever! Cynthia is fantastic! I reserved 100% online and never saw a soul on moving day. Lock was already in my very clean space. They’ll even hold onto your key! Price is very competitive too!"
"Brand new, super organized, and great staff! Like the perfect storm for storage units, Life Storage had the units we needed at a reasonable price. Easy terms, no long term contracts. They even sell boxes and packing supplies. Helpful and knowledgeable employees, which is a huge plus. Solid five stars."
"Very helpful great customer service. Nicole is very friendly and went above and beyond to help and make sure my unit was properly secured after I accidentally locked it incorrectly. The property is very clean and from day 1 I have had only good experiences with all staff."
"I highly recommend Life Storage for any and all of your storing needs! The facility is kept very clean by the staff. Nicole was extremely friendly and made sure to help me find exactly what I needed. She went above and beyond!"
"Rented, moved in and out with ease. The girls in the office were so friendly and thorough and the facility was clean and new. Great experience would recommend it to everyone looking for a temporary or permanent storage solution."
"Storage facilities were very clean, extra carts are provided, which is a bonus. Though our unit was on the 3rd floor, loading and unloading was a breeze. Staff were very helpful too."
"Cindy and Nicole were both very helpful. Ended up needing a second unit and cindy worked hard at getting us one right close to the other one. My family received the first month rent free on storage unit had a small payment for the insurance and such but whatba great experience."
"This property is fairly new and still very clean the staff here are wonderful to work with! I dont have a whole lot of experience with renting a storage unit but Nicole was able to walk me threw it and with confidence helped me find just the size I needed! I would highly recommend this facility to anyone in the area!"
"Wow this facility is hands down one of the cleanest I've seen! Nicole and staff take great pride in keeping this property like new. Nicole showed great skill in being able to find us the right size for a price that fit my budget! She is a great asset to your company and I am happy to help her be recognized for her efforts. Thank you Nicole you made a stressful situation easier to take on."
"Best customer service ever. Nicole was so professional and welcoming. She went above and beyond making sure we had the perfect setup and took extra time to answer all of our questions. Thanks Nicole!
The space is also super clean and new with great lighting and carts for use. Definitely glad we picked this facility for our move."
"New facility with a great staff! The building has some nice features. One being the coverage over the loading area. Unless you have a blowing rain or snow you can stay dry. With their attention on Covid-19 you will see the staff out clean the common areas.
keep up the great work!"
"Cindy one of the store manager was really great, explained everything clearly. gave all my option and gave a tour of the place. I was really impressed with her."
"I won a storage unit auction at this location and I was overwhelmed with how helpful and cheerful the staff were. I have been buying storage units all over New England for the past few years and I have to admit that this facility has the best staff. the facility is very nice and provides everything you could possibly need for storing and transporting your possessions. The facility has state of the art security and is super clean. I would recommend anyone in the area that needs a storage unit to go here first you will not regret it. hopefully we will get a chance to visit again next time units become available. Thanks again for the top notch customer service."
"Rented a 3rd floor indoor unit from them. They provide carts for unloading / loading your vehicle, and the elevators are nicely sized. The facility is very clean and well maintained. The place seems very secure on the outside too. At the same time they were the most affordable. Highly recommend them."
"Had a very good experience purchasing a storage space with Life Storage(Store#965). First the appearance and amenities of the place was exactly what I was looking for: As of 2020, the building is brand new construction (1 year or so old). It was very clean, hand sanitation stations, motion sensing lights, climate controlled units, two large freight elevators, automatic sliding door with key code access for off hours in the loading area. Key code security gate, security cameras, and access 7 days a week. It's a great value.
I was assisted by Nicole Dubois, the Associate Store Manager. She was polite, knowledgeable, patient and personable. She answered all my questions accurately and showed me multiple spaces until I reached my final decision. During check out, I tested my new lock for the space and the key broke in the lock! We shared a good laugh and she replaced it on the spot, no charge. She did her job well with a good attitude, Thank you.
If you are looking for a safe and secure space for your stuff, and the rent fits your budget, look no further."
"Have had a great experience with setting up my account and getting a storage unit at the Riverside Street location. The staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend their storage facility to everyone!"

"Outstanding customer service and process management from staff member Nicole. Personable and competent. Included working with a POD drop off and pick up."
"This storage facility is the best. The staff at Gorham and Riverside are amazing. They were right on the ball when I needed storage for my furniture when I relocated from Atlanta. Five star rating. Can't be beat!!!!!"
"Staff was very polite, pleasant and personable. They answered any questions I had. Everything was clean and tidy. Nicole was very friendly and helpful."
"Let me start off by saying the manger ms.cindy and her asst Nicole where very help and friendly always had a smile on there face and they kept the building very clean like it was a 5 star restaurant, even the outside area was very clean. If I was living in maine and needed a storage that would be the first place I'd put my belongings. Would i recommend this place to someone yes 1000%. So if your looking for a storage company in Portland, Maine thats where you need to go."
"The managers are absolute professionals! I would recommend this facility to anyone in need of good, safe, secure storage. And the sevice is excellent!!!"
"Staff were helpful and professional, the spaces were clean and well-maintained, company policies were sensible, and (lastly) the option for online booking provides a convenient experience.
My only recommendations for improvement are related to the online management system. It would be nice if customers could request specific storage units for a host of reasons (e.g. if more than one storage unit is needed, options for booking consecutive units is preferred) and the website should allow customers to switch reservation LOCATIONS as well as times/dates/other details. (Presently, a new reservation must be made and the other reservation must be cancelled.)"
"Just rented a space yesterday the staff was great especially Nicole dry clean and brand new I will definitely recommend them to everyone google location says there in a field but there definitely not so everyone check them out"
"If you are looking for new, clean storage - that’s your place! They just open so they have plenty of spaces in all sizes. Cindy and Nicole are the nicest and making move in fun and easy! Thank you girls!"
