"Facility is really nice and clean. The property has lots of open space and plenty of carts for transporting your items. The staff is super helpful, kind, responsive, and accommodating. Matt was great and helped me get the perfect size unit for my storage needs. The HQ staff member I spoke with over the phone set me up with an ideal location and Matt followed up immediately to ensure I was all set for my expected arrival. Highly recommend and think the prices are on point compared to other facilities in town."
"I absolutely LOVE this place, my last storage unit location had rodents and horrible conditions. I was just browsing around and I found this location and left very satisfied. Jaylon was very helpful, he showed me around made sure I was familiar with the place and did an awesome job at explaining everything. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!"
"Matt helped me to figure out the best storage for my budget. He is great with customer service all around. I was very happy with everything about the storage facility since I had rented a storage before and it wasn't easy to access and most other places are more expensive. He made sure to get the best location for me and my family."

"All I have to say is that Matthew is a lifesaver! He went beyond with explaining everything and helped me pick the right option for me. I’d be so lost he if hadn’t been there to help me out!

Thank you - Matt."

Will be using this place over the U-haul going forward to store my expensive items. Thank you ladies, so much!"
"Life Storage is good and not so good. Super nice people and decent rates. The facility is nice, but last summer I felt it was way too humid. When you're paying that kind of money for climate control, it should include better humidity control."
"Ok, I had my doubts when Kroger moved as to who was going to fill the spot of a place where so many memories were made. But Life Storage now contains memories of its own - literally. We recently took up camping and ran out of storage in our garage. Life Storage came through! Now they too hold “memories in waiting” for us as we store all our camping gear in anticipation of our next adventure.
I might add too, Amber is such a delight to deal with. She’s kind, courteous and accommodating. She knows her stuff and can get you the deal you need on a storage unit that could help contain your own “memories in waiting!”"

Will definitely recommend this location"
"The facility is new and clean. Office staff we're friendly and accommodating. Only down side is having to put in your door code twice to get through two sets of doors, which can be inconvenient when trying to move items. Other than that I am happy to have a space here!"
