"Went here spoke to Carlo great manager. Was ready to help me and he did. He was very understanding and explained everything thoroughly. Great place amazing employees."
"James was AMAZING!!! He helped me find a smaller unit after I had downsized my original unit. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone. They are honest and flexible. Thank you James for everything!"
"James Salotti, Asst Store Manager, handled my entire onboarding and set up. He was professional and courteous. Enjoyed his friendly personality. Very enjoyable business transaction. Recommend highly. All Aces!!!"
"I rented a unit and a 12' box truck for a move and it was super easy and simple. The folks in the office are really nice and helpful and it's easy to get in touch with them on the phone (you aren't sent through 50 million automated menus, just like 1 or 2). The units are clean and well maintained and the climate control is great. I stored stuff for 2 years and was shocked by how clean it still was when I came to move out 2 years later."
"My mother in law and I were looking for weeks for the perfect storage unit and we stumbled upon Life Storage. We decided to take a look and met with James, he was amazing! He was very thorough and explained everything very well to us. He made us feel comfortable and answered everything perfectly! If you are looking for a place and have questions I highly recommend stopping here and speaking with James, he will help you out and answer any of your questions in a way that you’re not lost lol."
"James and Carlo have made my transitioning from a different storage a delightful experience, I was able to access a van off cite within the company to help with the process, nonetheless, within a weeks time I also had to upgrade my unit to a larger space and was able to move to within the same building and floor, having everything from the carts and cleanliness in order to do so, I would highly recommend life storage compared to its competitors !"
"James was super helpful in my moving process , I’ve been using this storage unit for a few months and wanted to downsize. He helped me out and even took some minutes during his lunch break to tend to me.
In general this storage unit feels safe and clean. I recommend"
"I was looking for a storage unit for my father when we arrived close to closing, James helped us right out and stayed way past closing. Talked us through everything to make sure we understood everything. We ran in to James again while he was doing his rounds though out the facility he greeted us and also made sure we didn’t have any questions or concerns. Best customer service"
"I recommend Life Storage in Clifton highly. I had my belongings in storage for over five years. During that time, I never encountered any problems. My belongings were kept safe and climatized. I knew that the staff would communicate with me immediately if needed. I’m very happy with the service and storage unit I was provided. Thank you for all the years of storage. It was a great experience."
"Carlo and James are extremely helpful and their level of customer service is outstanding life storage is very lucky to have such amazing employees!!!!"
"The manager is great at the Clifton location! When I first moved my things into storage, it was after hours with nobody around and my unit is located on the second floor. Needless to say the service elevator was out of service and I didn’t know how I was my furniture into storage. Thankfully Carlo came to the rescue and got me into another storage unit quick."
"Maggie was super helpful in getting me set up with my first storage unit. It was my first experience with storage and she walked me through the whole process. Highly recommend!"
"We've used Life Storage for three years and never had any issues. What finally caused me to write a review was a great experience with the manager -- Carlo -- who was an enormous help on a very stressful day!"
"Competitive pricing for the area. Easy access and friendly & accommodating staff. The rating would have been 5 stars if this facility didn't raise their monthly prices just as the COVID 19 pandemic hit the northeast hard in 2020. They didn't postpone the price hike or give consideration to those of us who lost their job and had to wait an entire year to move. They also do not prorate which would be helpful during an expensive move."
"Carlo is AMAZING. He helped us out on a hot and stressful day by making it easy and with super thoughtful solutions and above and beyond service! A life saver"
"Great experience! All staff was kind and courteous! Great unit for a great price! This facility really cares about you and your storage! Highly recommend! Would give 100 stars if I could! I will always use this facility moving forward! Customer service exceeds expectations! 😊"
"Irene at the Clifton LifeStorage is so helpful! We needed to upgrade to a larger unit during our kitchen renovation and she found one in the same building, same floor and actually just a few units down the hall. Made the transfer so easy. It's our 3rd time renting short term storage here and we wouldn't go anywhere else."
"As a longtime renter at the Allwood Clifton location, going back to the Lackland and Uncle Bob's days, I feel I can weigh in on the effectiveness and customer service of the complex and its management very effectively.
Over the almost 20 years of utilizing a modest sized storage space at this facility, very little issues occurred, but when they did, nobody helped better/more than Irene and manager Carlo Cavani.
During every transition to new ownership I had a lingering billing issue, in that I needed a paper copy of the automatic billing I set up with my company. The ONLY time this didn't take months to figure out is when Carlo personally took care of it.
From there if I ever needed anything, he was my guy, until I found Irene who works with Carlo. She too was awesome helping me out and both are great people as well. I can't thank them enough as I sadly had to close out my unit tied to new company policy.
Truly, thanks for all the help Carlo and Irene. You both always stepped up to help and even went above and beyond, and I'm thankful for it!

"Excellent! Aside from cleanliness, safety and good prices, the storage has a customer service full of very friendly and competent representatives. If ever I need a storage again, I am sure Life Storage will be my first choice."
"This storage facility was clean and convenient. The office staff was so helpful carefully explaining my options and which units would best suit my needs."
"That’s Storage management having extra keys for each storage and the blend with your stuff inside the storage I don’t recommend that storage
Be careful"
"We had a problem with a rusted lock and a spring loaded door that stopped working. As we come from Manhattan, we were afraid it was going to take all afternoon. Instead, the folks that work here, Irene and the young woman who cut the lock (I’m sorry - I can’t remember her name, but she has blue hair and was terrific!) were able to organize the work and get us in and out with time to spare. Irene was very helpful and patient with us! I highly recommend Life Storage. They’ve got people like Irene, who makes us confident that our storage items are safe - no little thing. Thanks Irene!
Dan"
"Thank you so much for your help Irene! You have been so helpful with any assistance I needed regarding my storage units. You always put in extra effort to help me. I very much appreciate all you do! JoAnn"
"Irene was an absolute joy to work with. She was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to meet my needs. To be honest I almost gave up on Life Storage, based on my experiences with other locations. But Irene reeled me back in and helped me feel confident this was the right decision for me and my small business.
Thank you! 5STARS"
"My cousin rented from this facility and Lily is such a sweet person. She managed to calm my cousin down immediately and made her move in so much easier. Now I see why she chose lifestotage. Highly recommended."
"I had a great experience renting at Life Storage in Clifton. Irene was so helpful and kind. She took her time to answer all my important questions and showed me around. If I have any questions she always is there to help. I have had bad experiences at other storage facilities but this one has been so great. Thank you Irene for being kind to your customers and so understanding. I appreciate you I feel very comfortable storing at this facility."
"We have had storage at this location through numerous owners . The current management has 2 outstanding employees Irene and Lily.
We have lived out of state for several years and only occasionally visit this location, that said,
on property personnel of excellent quality makes all the difference. Each and every time we have reached out to either Irene or Lily their prompt
patient responses have been reassuring.
We have 3 lockers currently and are organizing a major move long distance their customer care and consideration for their clients has been remarkable. We
would highly recommend this location and company based on our experience with these 2 employees who truly care!

"Went to this location with my friend and the manager was so great. She took the time to explain everything in detail and did not beat around the bush. Highly recommended."
"Lily from Life Storage in Clifton has been amazing! She answered all my questions & was very informative. Very thankful to have her help me with my storage needs."
"I went to this storage facility this weekend. Lily was very knowledgeable, and helpful. I would definitely be recommending this place to family and friends. Keep up the great work."
"Facility is so clean and friendly staff. Manager is so funny and mad my day. Thank you. They need more people like her around. Thank you Lily for your service."
"Great experience in the Clifton NJ location, the store manager Lily Agosto was amazing, great customer service!!! We purchased our new unit and we are totally satisfied!!!"
"I highly recommend Life Storage at 300 Allwood in Clifton NJ. The entire staff were all so very kind, and professional. I was worried about having my belongings in a storage space at first but when I saw how clean their units are and the climate control which kept my things just as I left them a year ago!! Lily was exceptional she went above and beyond to make this all a pleasant experience. Thumbs up for Life storage !!"
"Lily did a great job taking care of my wife and I quickly and getting us our perfect unit she is an excellent employee and is great with people I would recommend this location to anyone in need of storage in NJ"
"When i first moved out of my home and into an apartment I was dumbfounded on where to put all my stuff. Life Storage cc'ing to the rescue. Not only are they very close to my home, Irene and the staff are top notch and truly a pleasure to work with. I recommend this locatoon to family, friends and clients often. This the perfect home for your stuff!"
"Let me first start off by giving a shout out to Irene. Her customer service and attitude made our experience great and she was very accommodating! We used the facility for a little over a year, to find our possessions still in good standing order, with no unwanted guests. This facility and Irene deserve more than the allowed 5 stars."
"Poor customer experience. Tried switching units after finding out the one I rented online had steel columns in it which made the unit size smaller than advertised. Did it on a Sunday which they now have no store hours. I tried to go 2 days later on a work day and they said it was past the 24 hr window and that I would have to be charged again for the transfer! They called me back several days later to try and correct the problem. So I go to their office, but they wanted to charge me more by not allowing me to just continue the advertised free month and charging me the more expensive in-store monthly price! I've been at this location for many years with other units and never experience something so frustrating. Watch out for the bait and switch tactic with their online and store pricing."
"Found this facility to be clean, well maintained and well setup. The office personnel are fantastic. The facility is heat controlled for those needing this service. Highly recommended"
"The area is busy which is why I picked it. It's not tucked away and seedy looking at all, like some storage places. It's well lit, secure and clean. A bit over priced but u get what you pay for."
"EXCELLENT Customer Service at Life Storage! Irene, was very accommodating and helpful in figuring out the best options for me.
Clean facility and great location. Very happy about my decision to move from Extra Space to Life Storage!!"

"From my initial phone call. I knew this was a professional office. When I appeared in person to rent a space, Irene was courteous, friendly and professional in explaining everything and handling the necessary paperwork. The storage space itself was easily accessible, light, clean and dry. Couldn't ask for anything better!"
"I have been at the same location for 15+ years thru various owners. When I vacated in the middle of the month I was charged the entire month's rent, not pro-rated like the previous owners would do. I did call corporate to file a complaint on 9/17/19 and was told I would get a return call within 24 hours. Today is 9/30 and still no call or voicemail. They also took away the pre-pay discount of paying for 1 full year in advance and get a month free like previous owners had. Don't waste your time or money with Life Storage, no customer loyalty or benefit to rent from them. I also have a unit woth CubeSmart. They get the 5 star review!"
"Clean, Orderly and Secure, large elevators with easy access. Enough moving carts outside the elevators so you never have to wait or look for one. Pricing is reasonable. Irene is friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a storage facility."
"After some glitches and confusion with the new online payment system, things are beginning to fall in place. The one bright spot during the entire ordeal has been Ty Hook in Easthampton. His calm, professional assistance kept me from bailing."
"Rented here to store some items from my moms house that was being sold. I am from 5 hours away so I was happy to find a clean climate controlled storage solution nearby. Mike and Irene are great! Thanks!"
"I'm having a great experience using Life Storage. Mike was extremely helpful in getting me set up with the storage I needed and showing me around the place. Nice and clean and feels safe with security cameras. There's plenty of dollies around and it's easy to get in and out. I highly recommend them."

"Irene made my bothersome move from studio to storage very, very easy, I signed in, paid and she set me up to the point where I didn’t think about anything after that until it was time to move out. She was very informative and extremely helpful! Easy peasy! That’s how I needed everything to be. My inventory needed to be safe, dry and accessible. That is exactly how it all worked out. If anyone ever asks about it, I will certainly recommend your storage facility!"
"Wow, EXCELLENT Customer Service at Life Storage! Irene, thank you for everything! The customer service in the Clifton Store is second to none. Irene was so helpful, offering me a number of options when I presented her with a personal problem I was having, and she offered me a timely, effective solution! I am a long-time customer of the previous company; Lackland Storage, and would not hesitate to use Life Storage for all of my storage and packing materials needs! Thank you again! 5 stars! ~Susan L. from Clifton."
"I was happily surprised by the friendliness and attention I received from both Krystina as well as Irene from the Clifton,Nj Store #736. I'm actually still smiling!"
"The life storage located at 300 Allwood rd Clifton New Jersey is the best storage company around
The whole staff treat all customers with 5 star customer service I will advise any of my colleagues and family and friends to use the life storage in Clifton New Jersey
I am a real estate developer
I park my cars at this location and I’m also looking to get another storage unit because of the great service from the staff"
"This was a very positive experience from the beginning, when I first went to check out the facility and then when I went back a couple of months later to do the rental. First time renting storage for me so I knew nothing about the process. Felicia was very friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. She was patient and answered all of my questions. "
"Very positive experience. I was especially impressed at the very generous policy regarding leaving. I was expecting some kind of 2 week notice thing, and was pleasantly surprised there were no such hassles."
"The employee that helped me knew what she was talking about and answered all of my questions. I had doubts about purchasing a storage unit but after she gave me a tour of the facility I was inclined to purchase my unit. I appreciate the time and effort from the employees on the phone and in person and I am glad that I chose Uncle Bob's as my storage solution."
"The experience I have had at the Clifton location has been amazing. Christina is the consummate professional and provides the best service on the planet. I could not be happier. Please commend her for her hard work. "
"Always felt safe on the property. Great office staff! It was easy to downsize to a smaller storage space mid month. Also received a credit for a partial month when we moved all our things out. I would definitely recommend uncle bobs to anyone. "
"I could use more push carts.Just last week there were 3 people waiting to use the carts.I waited for a cart longer than it took me to unload my car & put it away!"
"The women who work at your storage facility on Allwood Rd in Clifton should be given the highest raises you can manage (and even higher then you can manage!) They are most attentive, caring group of young women, so knowledgeable and always so cheerful.
For the past year I have 'stored' with you and through a recent transition from one sized unit to another, they were always so patient, smiling and well informed."
"Yes my name is Melissa and I have been with you guys for a few years now the other day I received notice in the mail that the rent is going up as of July 01,due to greater demand in the area I feel like I am being penalized for just living in the area.It felt like a punch in the in the stomach when I opened the letter and read it.Overall you guys are wonderful but I do not agree with your new policy."
"I was most impressed when we received a new credit card which meant our auto pay at Uncle Bobs [Life Storage] was rejected. The associate called us to let us know and helped us through the process of getting a new card set up. This helped us avoid unnecessary charges and I really appreciate it. He was so friendly and helpful. "
"You have expensive storage units. I found one that is $100 cheaper than yours with the same amenities: Climate control and the size. I think you need to lower down your prices before people discovers that there are other storage that charges less"
"The lighting on my storage floor goes out too quickly if I'm not moving around in the hallway. I often am working within my storage unit and lighting in the hallway goes out which makes it dark and creepy. When the light goes out, I have to walk up to the far end of the hallway to activate the lighting again. Please fix the timing on the lighting. thanks. "
"Moving can be an extremely stressful time. So having an experience like working with the Uncle Bob's team was a great comfort and relief to me. The staff was great and the facilities were always kept very nicely. I would definately recoommend Uncle Bob's to a friend and certainly would return myself if the need for a storage facility arose in the future."
"It is very difficult to get people on the phone and it is difficult to go there in person and find somebody working.
Other than these issues, everything is top shelf."
"The cart to bring items to storage unit are terrible.
The lights that are on timers are horrible. If inside storage unit light will go off have to go all the way to elevator to reactivate light. "
"There is a shortage of carts in storage area. I have mentioned it to people in office and know that others have as well. Still there are not sufficient carts and sometimes one has to either wait for a cart, go yo office, or hand carry items and make several trips up and down in the elevator. The failure to address this issue is A real negative for your company"
"I think the snow maintenance could definitely be improved - early in the season there was snow and ice everywhere - really unacceptable when trying to maneuveur items from a storage facilty. "
"I like Uncle Bobs in Clifton because of the employees(people) that work there. Overall they are warm friendly and very helpful and efficient in customer service. I appreciate their integrity. I wonder is this the same experience if different people were here or is this overall Uncle Bob [Life Storage] locations? "
"I would like to say that in your clifton n.j. office ..you have a worker named corey,,, HE IS THE BEST....always extremely polite and kind,,, always goes above and beyond.... Be proud to have him!!"
"the only thing I can fault you on is that the office was not open during the day 9 to 5. Several times I went to pay my bill (around noon to 2pm) to find the office closed. These were special trips. Don't say you could call and pay by phone, which I had to do several times. I understand that people must have lunch, but you as a company need to make arrangements for coverage during breaktimes. Oh by the way phone payment was excellent."
"Office associates were extremely helpful and professional. It was easy to gain access to my storage area with no security concerns. Thanks for having me!"
