"Robert was awesome throughout the whole process of vacating the space. Would highly recommend Robert for anyone looking for a place to store thier stuff!"
"Robert was extremely helpful with information on getting and locating a larger storage space at a great price, the space was across the hall from my current space making the move easier!"
"Awesome experience with Robert! He helped me choose the right unit as my initial reservation was a bit too small, and took the time to visit every possible option with me to find a taller unit so I could fit a shelf in."
"Here at Life Storage. Robert has gone above and beyond what I could have happened. He showed me many different units because I wasn’t sure what I wanted and at the price. He was so patient with me and explained everything in great detail. He helped me tremendously!! Definitely above and beyond service!! Super Clean Facility with easy access to my unit!! Highly recommend Life Storage and working with Robert!! Thank You So Much Robert!!"
"Wow.. what an easy experience thanks to Robert! He was professional, very detailed and most importantly friendly. Five star service from the word go!"
"Robert was very helpful and took his time explaining all in detail - I would recommend Life Storage if you are looking for a clean facility with great customer service!"
"Great move in experience. Did everything online... they left the lock in the unit so I was able to retrieve after hours. Even left a letter opener to make opening the lock easier. Received a welcome call... never had such excellent customer service from a storage place before."
"Clean facility and easy to navigate through the property. Robert Cuevas was very thorough and detailed everything perfectly. Took his time to make sure I understood all the paperwork and didn't pressure the sale at all. Great job overall!"
"Was a pleasure to meet Robert in person because over the phone was very polite and informative.
He had good customer service and displayed concern for our needs.
I was very impressed with him and the the facility."
"The people at the office were super nice, explained everything regarding the use of the truck . I definitely recommend this company for the truck deal if you are moving."
"Mae provided a more than helpful rental experience and worked hard to find the best deal to suit my storage needs. I've been a customer here previously also and always return thanks to Mae!"
"The staff here are wonderful. May is a charm to work with. She made sure all my questions were answered and even took the time to show me the space before anything was signed! Truly a great rental experience."
"The location is easily accessible, the company is organized, neat and safe. My properties were well secured from damage from weather and creatures. And i had access to equipment with no additional charges. You are tbe best."
"Mae is absolutely fantastic! Very kind and helpful. She makes the moving out process very easy. We’re lucky to have her as a resource! Will definitely use life storage mountainside again."
"Absolutely incredible experience with Mae at Life Storage! She went above and beyond to ensure I had the best possible experience. I highly recommend this storage location mainly due to the amazing service that Mae provides her customers. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!"
"Mae Burke was very professional, efficient, friendly, informative and helpful. She walked me through the facility and explained everything. Thank you so much Mae!"
"From start to finish we have never had an easier moving/ storage experience. We were able to borrow a moving truck for free and move our family room stuff to the storage unit. Very similar prices to everyone around. Mae was the best customer service rep we have ever felt with. Will definitely be recommending to other and will be back. Thank you!"
"Mae offered to walk me through some units to get a better idea of size before renting. After asking what type of items I had she recommended a better size and was able to get me exactly what I needed when I needed. Highly recommend calling Mae for all storage needs."
"Martha was very friendly and helpful, I had ordered the wrong size unit but she was able to help me out, showing me several units and juggling the online offer that I had signed up for."
"Martha in the Mountainside location was a great help to us after an unfortunate situation with a different location. She was able to resolve the situation promptly when the other the other location never got back to us. I would highly recommend Martha in the Mountainside location.
Wayne & Sharon Steele"
"They will rise the price untill you move out. Then they will put you into collections for rent after you moved out. It will hit your credit and will cost 2000$ of unfair collections practices. Your stuff will be moldy for the unit. And will be better off burning the stuff and never ever putting your stuff into storage.
Scum and not worth ever doing business with them."
"I was quickly contacted by the associate(Mae) at Life Storage after reserving a unit online. She was very helpful in showing me two different size units to best fit my needs. Facility is clean and appears well maintained, carts available to help move items from your car/truck to the unit."
"Great customer service! Mae was so friendly and helpful, she helped me work out a space that I needed for a large narrow piece that had to fit. A great experience, very courteous, professional and efficient!"
"mae is the most pleasant person, welcomes you with a smile. Martha rented me a second space and is was fast and easy. Thank you ladies for all your help. I would recommend Lifestorage to all my family and friends."
"I have been renting out a locker unit for nearly a year and I cannot really think of anything that should/must be complained about. The front desk staff has always been kind and courteous and they make the rental process flow smoothly. The property consists of a one-way entrance and exit right on US-22 just down the street from the Spanish Tavern if you're heading East. The office space is off to the left when you enter and a tiny, 8 car parking lot is conveniently placed right in front of that. Built off of the office is a small storage area that can only be accessed from inside the compound. The only way into the buildings which house the storage units is dead ahead as soon as you enter the property. They are enclosed behind a tall, metal barred, electronic, black gate which requires key code entry created by the renter upon purchase of your desired unit. One must drive around to the back of the complex to gain access to all three buildings. A separate, brand new building was just recently completed and is located on the lot next door. All buildings are three stories tall and optionally climate controlled should this be your preference. Units sizes themselves range from 5'x5' up to 25'x20'. Security does not appear to be an issue as cameras cover every corner and padlocks or combination locks are equally useful. Beware: should you be late to pay the rent for your space you will find yourself locked out of your unit until a full payment is made."
"Very convenient location and setup ! Easily accessed by uhaul and car rental services, and the units are all easy to get to from the various service elevators and entrances."
"We had a wonderful experience working with Mae Valera. We had to upsize to a larger unit at the last minute. She made the process easy and seamless and she was an absolute pleasure to work with! We love Life Storage!!"
"We signed up online to get a storage unit and Mae has been so helpful start to finish.
She called us a few times to make sure we had no questions about what we needed and assured us that our space would be saved for the date we picked for move in.
Mae also happened to be the on duty person when it was time to do our contract and move in. She was super helpful and informative, making the process a breeze in a stressful time."

"Martha (I believe that is her name!) was soooo helpful in getting me settled with just what I needed. I went back a couple of days later for some follow up and she remembered me and helped me even faster than the first time! The whole facility is very clean!"
"Friendly staff, clean and easily accessible. I feel safe going there at night. I own a online store and sometimes have to go to my unit after hours to pick up stuff."
"I rented my space out in Mountain Side! Mae was very helpful and nice. The space was clean and easy access. The only thing I would say negative is that they need to figure out how to keep the dust out of the spaces, other than that I was very happy."
"Martha was very helpful and informative when we visited the Mountainside NJ location. We rented a unit here and are very pleased with how it has worked out. A big thank you to Martha and Mae."
"Easy as can be! Getting extra storage for our move was a breeze with Mae's help! She walk me through the process, showed me the different units and advise me on the documents needed! Very happy customer here!"
"It was a stressful time and I needed to find storage quickly. Life Storage met my request promptly and efficiently. The facility was always clean and I didn't once feel concern that my contents were in any jeopardy at all. The unit was clean, dry and of ample space. I would highly recommend LifeStorage. "
"Mae was very professional and helpful. When I went to register for the unit, the computer system was down. Mae advised she would phone me when it came up. A while later, true to her word, Mae called me to advise I could now return and sign up for the unit.
Thank you Mae for your follow up as promised."
"Thank you for making this experience much nicer than I anticapated it would be. Mae was terrific; kind and polite and friendly. She represents your business and is the only individual we ever see so congratulations to her,. She is Bob's Storage, at least at this location."
"Absolutely the best example of outstanding customer service I have received in a very long time. The experience was so positive I wish I could have rented another unit. I have already recommended your service to friends.
Wonderful office manager in that location. You are lucky to have such a quality employee. "
"I was going to call but since you sent this survey I hope someone really reads it.
I rented my unit from a lady named Mae.
She was fantastic. She was very polite, professional & what an upbeat personality. She is such an asset to your company.
It was a toss up between Public Storage & Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] before I met her. Hands down she makes your place. She helps confused, unsure potential renters decide what to do in a breeze.
Thank you & PLEASE Thank Mae!!!!"
"Having a very good experience here. Our only concern is the accumulation of cigarette butts outside our unit 105. We thought it was a fire hazard and worried about our storage contents catching fire. That would be a big liability for Bob's."
"Yard maintained only minimally. Paint lines between parking spots are almost gone, and overgrown.
The people with the spot behind me park 2' or more into my spot all the time.
My trailer has had minor vandalism constantly."
"The staff was very polite and surpassed all expectations. Our moving in experience went very well due to their help. The truck provided was in excellent condition and very clean. Thank you."
"I feel well informed. I have stored at the location on Route 22 in Mountainside for many years, before it was Uncle Bob's storage. I knew when the company was changing hands and what needed to occur to make sure our storage facility and rental agreement stayed intact.
"
"The reason we initially chose to store our property at Lackland Self Storage (now Uncle Bob's)after the sale of our home, is that the facility appeared very clean. If the storage rooms continue to be maintained to the same standards, I would definitely refer others to Uncle Bob's in the future. I am terrified of bugs and vermin and NEVER experienced anything other than a random spider twice in seven years.
"
"There are only 2 hand carts available near the entrance. I've found that, on more than one occasion, I've had to wait to move my things because a single family/business (with 2 people loading or unloading) was using them."
"Size of unit did not seem as large as advertised. Did not seem the full 5 foot by 10 feet area was made available to us. Otherwise the store manager was exceptionally helpful."
