"Thank you so much for the professional walk through Carla!! Will definitely mention this place and it’s wonderful manager to others who are looking for storage! My wife and I came in and were immediately greeted by Carla and given the care we needed. All our questions answered and we no longer have to worry! THANK YOU!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"Great facility and service. Jon, the covering manager, was very helpful in closing out my unit. Friendly, professional and helpful. Carla the regular manager was very helpful too."
"The rate for my unit wasn't too bad when the place was cube smart, but once it changed ownership to Life Storage they raised my monthly fee. Over a 3 year period, it went up 50%, from about $200 to more than $300. I asked them about it and they said their rates are set by corporate and there was nothing I could do except maybe downgrade to a smaller unit."
"I wouldn't even give 1 star
They offer a "free" month but after unit 2 months they raise the rates !
What a huge rip off.
I would recommend any other storage over this one.
+ Horrible customer service.
Carina is no help at all and is also very rude - she hung up on me 2 different times when I asked for an email address and for clarification why my rates were changing.
I'll move my stuff to another unit."
"Space is nice but beware of their billing department as they can rip you off with hefty penalties without any notification. Definitely not recommend them."
"Deja and Carla were very helpful and patient. They were able to answer all of my questions without any hesitations. They clearly show a passion for the job and their communication skills are 5 stars. Excellent work ladies!!"
"Walked in without an appointment to rent a space. Carla was fantastic! She brought me right in, showed me all my options and helped me get set up with the space that was right for me!"
"The staff at life storage Rt 10 , NJ, were very friendly and informative. They reviewed all the details and made sure they highlighted all the pertinent information. The facility is very clean and the location is great. I’ve have storage units at other facilities for years and life storage far exceeds the others. Very pleased!! Maggie"
"GREAT EXPERIENCE!! A week ago I went to Life Storage & I met Deja she is really good at her job she gave me all the important information I needed regarding the storage unit. She knows her stuff thanks again :)"
"I had a great experience at Life Storage Ladeja helped me with everything and she was extremely patient with me.. Keep her around and your business will continue to grow🙂"
"Thank you so much to Carla and Deja for fitting me and my son at the last minute. They were both professional and helpful. Traveling from out of town to move my son out of his dorm is stressful anyway. However, they made my trip worth it by fitting me in.
Thank you."
"I just recently had to drive down to life storage on route 10 in East Hanover to pay my monthly bill and I have to say that the Store manager Ms. Soto was extremely knowledgeable with explaining to me all of the options as far as payments. I also mentioned that I might be moving and she showed me the life storage facilities in that area. She was very helpful!!"
"Our experience was OUTSTANDING. Carla was the representative who was extremely knowledgeable and professional. We previously worked with Janitza who was wonderful as well. You are blessed to have these two great associates."
"Our landlord gave us limited time to move out to sell the home. We needed storage right away. Yisselle was absolutely amazing and helped us with all of our questions. She helped us pick the right size. She made a very stressful time feel more calm and we even got some laughs in. We went to a different storage facility before this and it was closed even though the hours were open. Front desk staff is the first impression you get into a business. Yisselle and the staff there made a great impression. Definitely recommend this place!!"
"Extremely great service! Carla the manager is so helpful and caring of her customers! Very thoroughly in the whole breakdown and walk through!Best customer service I’ve gotten in a long time! Life Storage give this young lady a raise! :)"
"Carla Soto, the store Mgr at the East Hanover, NJ, location is the absolute best!! She is an ASSET TO THE COMPANY!! Not only is she cheery with a great smile & disposition, but more importantly, SHE IS PROFESSIONAL IN HER SPEECH, MANNERISMS and efficiency. I thoroughly enjoyed initiating my transaction at Life Storage because of Carla making me feel comfortable at this trying time in my life (storing some personal belongings after the demise of both parents & getting rid of “our” family home after 60 yrs.)
Life Storage Corp headquarters, you need to acknowledge Carla Soto as a valuable employee!!

"Good rates and they usually have good promotions. Facility is in decent condition. Depending on when you come you may have to wait for carts. However, service was a bit of an issue. I came once for the first time and was heavily delayed due to traffic and showed up ten minutes prior to closing, which was my fault but I called ahead of time to let the manager know. When I showed up, she was extremely dismissive and bluntly told me that she could not help me and had to go to her other job. Fair enough, but her attitude about the situation was very poor"
"The staff here are pretty okay, I really like the rates. But CARLA who is always there when I through always has a positive attitude and a desire to help whenever I need it"
"Employees are friendly,the site manager Carla provides excellent customer service, is very knowledgeable and very fair. Life storage is lucky to have her managing this site, as are we customers. About four months ago first day of move in the transition was fantastic. Everything was in set to unload the contents from the truck and transport them to the storage facility. Overall communication procedure is good and continues to be very helpful. Definitely recommending my peers! It has been an amazing experience"
"I had a great experience at the store, the customer service was great, Carla and Yissele help me on my move in, the space is clean and organized. 10/10 recommend"
"I was helped by Carla the location manager. She was extremely pleasant and was very informative in her answers to all of my questions. Great experience all around"
"I worked more with Juan, who I must say is very professional and personable.
He went above and beyond what was expected to help my husband and I with our storage issue. Job well done Juan!
More companies should have an employee like Juan, (as he is what makes a business succeed). He is truly a person and professional that others should emulate."
"Juan A. was very friendly and professional. He assisted me with what I need it. A big plus location was clean. I would recommend friends and family. Thank you 🥰"
"Staff was very friendly and helpful on helping me decide exactly what I would need to protect my items when moving. Thank you so much Juan and Carla!"
"Jaun Alejandro made the rental experience very easy and fast will definitely recommend life storage to all friends and family. If you need to move and need storage space come and rent from life storage in east Hanover and see Jaun Alejandro"
"The customer service at Life Storage goes above and beyond. Carla and Juan were both very helpful in setting up and moving into our new storage unit. The space is clean and the rates are very competitive."
"Juan showed me the space and around the facility and was very polite and professional. He made sure I felt safe leaving my things here and at home. Everything is so clean, especially during everything that is happening with COVID which is important and the security is great (Cameras, Access codes, unique locks). Carla the manager moved me in and was very clear with explaining everything and making sure I felt safe about my rental. Will definitely be telling others about this storage place!!!"
"Very clean, easy access, climate control is perfect. Very knowledgeable and cordial personnel. Giselle was a pleasure and very helpful with the entire experience."
"The staff here is wonderful! Very helpful and kind. The facility is extremely clean which is very important in these times. Will definitely recommend this storage to others."
"I came into Life Storage to buy boxes and had a great experience. The manager Carla was super helpful, patient, and kind. Customer service is great at this store as well as the fact that it is very clean."
"I went yesterday to get a unit the assistant manager and manager of the facility at east hanover went above and beyond for me. They customer service was amazing 👏 thanks again u guys......"
"Excellent Service!
I was assisted by the store manager Carla Soto. She made my enture process extremely smooth from start to finish. The location seems brand new and very clean. I am glad I found this location!"
"Employees are so friendly!!! Giselle so pleasant helpful. Giselle very professional over the phone. Customer service skills are great. Juan had to help me with my lock, patient kind very helpful. Carla has been great since my first start .. great team to deal with. Thanks again"
"Clean, Organized and well supervised. Cameras, door codes and specialty unit lock provide up to date security. Excellent customer service by Carla and Giselle. Super easy to get to units - even if not located right by the elevator or on upper floors."
"I was extremely skeptical about storage for my personal belongings. Everything about the space and ambiance of storage scares me. However , we needed a little extra space for seasonal items. I agreed to just “take a look” and talk it over with my boyfriend. Carla made me feel at ease and comfortable with renting the space we needed. She was extremely professional, yet, very welcoming and had all the information we needed. The facility is sparkling clean top to bottom and I felt as safe as I could possibly feel in a storage building. There are cameras, individual door and elevator codes, and specialty locks, I’m sure my personal belonging and my family will be fine. Because of the safety and Carlas warmness we immediately rented right after the tour."
"The facility is exactly what I needed, the staff is super helpful and wonderfully nice, the premises is doing a great job practicing social distancing and taking other measures"
"The manager Carla was super nice and helpful when I went in to purchase moving supplies. If you need moving supplies this is the place to get them at!"
"I’m very happy with my choice of Life Storage.
First off, they are ver conscience of distancing and Poe. Juan was the person that greeted me and did my paperwork. He showed me my space and getting around facility. I must emphasize that everything about this facility was new and emasculate. Highly recommend their services."
"Juan and Carla are very professional and helpful. Thank you for being so patient and precise with me. Facility was clean and well maintained. Great team!"
"Clean and newer storage facility but it's overshadowed by horrible customer service. The manager is a woman named Carla who is obnoxious, curt, and unhelpful. I'm not sure she realizes she's in a customer service position but rather believes customers are there to serve her. Highly recommend skipping this place and paying a bit more down the road at Public Storage where you're at least met with employees who realize they're there to help."
"Be careful about renting here.
Great storage place, but due to Covid you can make a reservation online for a move in date in the future. The next day you get a phone call from the manager letting you know that you should come in to sign your paperwork. When you indicate that you want to use the contactless setup you are sent a link to go to rentnow and asked to pay for the space. Understand that even if you set up your move in date for a future date, the moment you secure and pay for your space as instructed to do so by the manager, your space on “rentnow” becomes yours and your new billing date is the date you paid in advance, not your set move in date. This was not explained AT ALL!!!! When I called to complain, I was told by the manager that she never told me to pay on that date and pretty much that it was my fault. She also told me that I should have known because the name of the site was rentnow, not rentlater. Very upsetting. I only needed storage for one month and the days were exact from move in to move out. After the managers rude tirade ended, I asked for the number to a regional manager. A day later, I was told by a regional manager that I could change my billing cycle to a daily charge so I would only need to pay the extra two days per diem the following month instead of the entire month. The regional manager indicated that she would call me back a few days prior to the next charge date to schedule that. On that date, I received a call from the store manager who said I would need to pay for the next month in full (almost $400) and then I could switch to the per diem rate. So I was then charged an extra month of storage for two days of storage for which I actually moved in. Seriously????
Awful!!!!!!! Very upsetting!!!!!"
"Carla, who runs the place is awesome. Friendly, smart, directed and was/is very helpful in getting us set up. The place is clean, comfortable warm and rightly priced..
Recommended after reviewing all other storage systems In the area. This best overall value.
John"
"Significantly less monthly rent than the orange and red storage companies, for the same size space, with the same amenities. Manager woman was efficient and courteous."
"Great service, friendly representatives and affordable prices! Definitely will recommend this storage place to others. Also shot out to Juan, such an amazing man. He was very helpful and patient during the process. He needs a raise and a promotion! Hope the other employees are modeled after him."
"The building is well kept, safe and convenient. All of that said this would be an average storage facility without Luis and Carla! They are superstars who go above and beyond in what should typically be a "behind the scenes" role. Thank you for taking care of my deliveries!"
"This is by far the nicest storage facility in the area. The hallways are wide and there is only one door to get through - electronic. Other storage facilities have door that one must open by hand and hold open - not at LifeStorage. The facility is very clean and well-lit. The bathroom is spotless! The staff, especially Luis and Carla are incredibly friendly, kind and caring. They are very attentive and willing to help in whatever way they can. I highly recommend storing your belonging at LifeStorage!"
"What an amazing experience!
Life storage has a clean and safe facility. The manager Luis is extremely pleasant and friendly. It was such a pleasure to work with him. I visited 3 other facilities and by far this is the BEST one in the area. I walked in the others and did not feel safe. I HIGHLY recommend Life storage."
"Fantastic. Denise was a great help today with everything. She was very nice, and was able to help meet my needs for storage. She suggested a different storage unit for me, and saved me a few bucks in the end. Great job."
"The service is the best I have ever seen. Especially Denise. She is very patient and care about customers. I would definitely use their service again whenever I need the storage."
