Ms. Epting was very professional, courteous and provided me with all the answers to my questions requiring transferring into another unit at the storage facility. When you meet Ms. Epting you get the distinct impression that she take pride in representing Life Storage. The is the second time in ten years I have rented at this storage facility and you can always count on great customer service!"

Mellisa , even accommodate my family and I with cold water. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Mellisa, customer service skills exceeded excellent. Thank you. Danielle Black"
"This location is awesome! Melissa G. is super friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. No need to go anywhere else around. I've rented several times from this facility and have always had a great experience. I wish all other business were this well managed. Thank you Melissa !!"
"Great place, quick helpful service! The woman working the desk was super friendly and made everything about the process smooth. Definitely recommend and would definitely use thier services again! Thanks Life Storage!"
"Great customer service and very friendly staff! Lynn is great and very helpful . Facility is always clean and accessible . Very happy with the service ."
"There is a Karen at the property and she goes under the name Melissa BEWARE! A simple changed access code, and this woman driving her golf cart to look in the unit. Yes a family member had to call the police to the property due to Melissa’s enrage behavior, yelling, screaming, head bobbing, hands swinging, slapping the desk. While I was standing perfectly still watching in disbelief. So petty, grow up already. If your not under the influence of a substance, then don't act it.
That woman is a loose cannon and her behavior is approved by corporate. And since its approved by corporate, I will not contribute to the business. 2 units I shut down immediately. Was a brand new customer, only there for 3 week, $329, and $289, monthly, GONE, Life Storage can thank Melissa for that lost. As well as Lin. What qualify that woman to be the property manager, she’s lazy, rude, and does not even know how to open the storage unit. Yes my money is being spent elsewhere, good luck folks, you been warn."
"My experience at this Life Storage location was a complete nightmare. Melissa, a caucasian employee, has a bad attitude and was hostile to me and my sister because we were black. Melissa drove a golf cart to our unit to look at our belongings. Her behavior was so unprofessional it made us believe she wanted to steal something.
My sister was distressed by Melissa's action and asked a male employee for the district manager information. Melissa becomes enraged, screaming, as she demands to know why the manager's information was needed. She then tells the male employee to go wait outside in the cold. I was concerned for my sister and I safety, so I called 911 for help. When the officer arrived, he said Melissa informed him the reason she drove to our unit is because “only one person is allowed to be there and she was being nice letting us both be there.” This explanation Melissa gave to the officer made no sense. Where in Life storage contact is this foolishness written?
I have seen multiple caucasians customers go to their units with other people and Melissa does not mistreat them as she did to us. It’s apparent that Melissa had an issue with us because we were black and her actions proves she felt we did not deserve the same respect as the caucasian customers. When I spoke to the manager Denise that same day, and told her to watch the footage of how Melissa was behaving in rage, she said she would.
The next day when I started to move my belongings out of the unit, Melissa was working at the office. Shameful to see, the manager approved Melissa/Karen's behavior to not tell her to stay home a couple days while this situation was being investigated. Life Storage should be embarrassed that this took place at their establishment. Anyone, who is not caucasian be very careful renting here."

"Great customer service and worked with Lynn who did a phenomenal job of obtaining my business. She is a hard worker and passionate about her job and look forward to doing more business with them in the future."
"Excellent service! Really above and beyond from the first phone call I made, through to every interaction I've ever had here. Clean facility that always feels very secure. They even shoveled my space out when then knew I was coming bye a few days after a snow storm. Great folks. Ten outta ten. Definitely recommend 👌"
"Melissa was awesome. Extremely pleasant and helpful, she made the experience fast, easy, and painless. Truck was clean and ran well. Would 100% rent there again."
"We lost our home to hurricane Ida and needed a storage unit in our area immediately and life storage was so easy and quick! There is a lot of space when driving your car through and very safe (I find storage creepy and this one isn’t!). Everyone at the front desk is so nice even when you’re renting a uhaul! We had to check out today and it was so quick and painless and the woman was so sweet and even threw some garbage we had out for us. Thank you so much!!!"
"Lynn was very nice to us. She explained everything to me. I’m satisfied with the service she provided.
Fair price as well.
I’m definitely coming back to this store."
"I've used this location to rent trucks before. The staff, Lynn and Melissa, are absolutely wonderful and friendly. I would absolutely recommend them and this location to everyone."
"Came to Life Storage looking for a shipping container for an large-sized, odd-shaped object --but Life Storage didn't sell boxes that were the right size. Manager Lynn told us about other local places that might have what was needed. And then she thought of an outside-of-the-box solution and solved the problem. Friendly, helpful, and smart. Thank you Lynn!"
"Lynn is amazing and helped me with my uhaul order. She was very kind. I recommend this company to everyone. You aren’t only treated like a customer. You are treated like a friend. wish there were more people with this kind of attitude!"
"I have tried to rent a truck from this location several dates and times into the future and it seems IMPOSSIBLE. I have even changed my moving date twice to accommodate ability to rent from this particular location. Each time I made the reservation online and received confirmation the location was automatically switched to the Hillsborough NJ location. Don't even bother trying to reserve at this Raritan NJ location because you woopstt only experience FRUSTRATION."
"Lyn and Jen We’re absolutely wonderful and amazing so helpful they got to see unit right away and super friendly I would recommend you to come here and ask for them and they were totally help you out"
"This storage facility is well-run. I started using them a year ago during covid, and the owner, Tina, is on top on things. She's very good about addressing questions I have, quick with providing proper paperwork, and overall just a great communicator. Rich, who works the front desk, is also very helpful and quick to answer/return phone calls . As far as the storage itself, it's clean, well-kept, and feels very safe. Highly recommend."
"Lynn has provided me with exceptional service each time I come with any questions and has been willing to help with any issues I have had. A+ service, will definitely use their services again when I need them."
"This storage facility was bought out by a new company (Life Storage). This was once a very well-run place with wonderful customer service. Then Life Storage bought them out; customers were not even adequately notified of this transition (we just got a generic email that went to my spam folder). Our data was not properly transferred over during the transition and yet somehow customers are supposed to just deal with the consequences, late fees, etc. Very disappointing."
"I had a fabulous experience with Lynn. She made our whole Uhaul pick up experience swift and easy. Amazing customer service. Absolutely will be coming back!"
"Lynn and her team at the Life Storage facility along Route 206 in Hillsborough do a terrific job, keeping a clean, well-organized facility and always prompt and professional in their interactions with us. Kudos !!"
"Best storage facility I have ever used... I have been a customer of this facility for many years. It is always clean seriously not even. A stray cigarette butt can be found in parking lot. The units themselves are clean and tidy and never have had an issue with rodents or insects. It is well lit and convenient to park next to doors entrances of which there are many or outside units. I don't have a heat & humidity controlled unit but hasn't been an issue in the least with either office aforementioned. No moths.either which for me, storing alot or clothing items I sell.online is a huge plus...the staff is super friendly and on the rare occasion I need assistance always eager to help and friendly + professional. I have had contact in past with both Phil and Lynn and they are both excellent people. I really like this storage facility and even though a newer site has just opened close by I wouldn't leave life storage as they are truly the best storage facility I have had over the many years....previous to living in somerset County I lived in other areas and had many different units with other companies and none are quite as good as life storage. I highly recommend this company to anyone whom asks about storage facilities in this area."
"Great employees and service! Life storage is very attentive to it's customers and goes the extra mile. Shout-out to employee, Phil! Goes above and beyond!"
"Pleasant service. Secured a storage facility for a our company and everything needed to be done in person. Couldn't manage a contract electronically or virtually during COVID. Any changes to the credit card required us to return again, in person. If this could be done remotely/virtually it would help."
"Mobile pick up didn't work smoothly for me. Would recommend to check in and pick up in person if it's your first time to rent uhaul. Overall it's a good experience. Phil is a very friendly guy, willing to help. Appreciate the call letting me know I can return after hours."
"Allow me to say what a wonderful experience we had in getting our storage unit at Life Storage - Hillsborough. We had checked out multiple places already and the deciding factor for us to go with Life Storage was our interaction with Philip Colding, the Associate Store Manager, who helped us on Sunday afternoon. He went out of his way to make the process completely painless. We found the facility to be bright, clean and the storage unit to be perfect for our needs. Thanks too Philip and his team for an effortless storage unit experience."
"I was here for a truck rental, Phill helped me in getting vehicle. The location is very clean and organized. I would suggest this storage and truck rental."
"This location is amazing the employees go above and beyond to make the experience great. Even with all the craziness going on with covid they are here only to help. Everything is super clean and I honestly just feel safe. Thank you life storage in Hillsborough for making this a great experience for me!!!"
"Couldn't have asked for better. Easy to access, clean, secure, and Lynn is always really helpful. Our rental doesn't have a garage, so it's great to be able to have a place to store all the extras that we don't want taking up space."
"My friend and I went first thing on a Sunday to empty my unit, and luckily we encountered Phil who could not have been more awesome. He was such a huge help; we basically bombarded him the second they opened (actually before that - he called us inside because he saw us waiting!). I had lost my key and he had to cut the lock for me, and though it gave him some trouble, he had a really positive attitude the whole time. I appreciated so much how real and accommodating he was, just a genuinely nice person. Made it feel like a mom and pop instead of a faceless corporate entity. And he made what could have been a stressful situation so quick and easy just by being kind."
"For the past year it was necessary for me to rent two storage units for my household goods.
Today I was able to transport those things to my new home.
My decision to do business with Life Storage was one I will never regret from beginning to end. The office staff was so helpful when I signed up to use the units. They were friendly, knowledgeable and courteous from start to finish. Today, the office associate Phil helped with some tough decisions I needed to make to complete my termination of rentals and truly took some stress out of my life. Thank you, Phil!"
