"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!

"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."
