I decided on a unit on the 2nd floor, and its very easy to access with the elevator and available hand carts to use. Highly recommend!!"
"Great service, beautiful new units!
Jeff spent time with me on my first visit giving me all the info and showed me the units. I secured our unit online for the best price, the website was simple and intuitive. Then Becky was there when I arrived and she answered all my questions, addressed my concerns, and got me all set up. She helped me get the right lock for the unit, signed me up for my free moving truck and helped me with moving boxes too. Staff was professional, facilities are clean and well maintained. Highly Recommend!"

I moved out of a 4bed house with quite a bit of stuff. I have both a 10'x20' exterior unit and 10'x10' climate-controlled unit. I was *barely* able to fit into these and only because I sold off a TON of stuff. I really wished I had gotten a 10'x30' external (rare) and maybe a 10'x15' climate-controlled.

"I needed a small storage facility to house some garage things over the winter so I figured I would stop by the Life Storage facility in Manlius NY...Other places had a free month advertised and this was my first stop. It was also my last stop for some great reasons! The Manager Jeff is amazing, he is not only outgoing with customers but most importantly, on top of everything at his facility. The storage areas were in perfect condition and clean and you would feel safe leaving anything there with Jeff in charge. No free month, or anything else would have changed my mind after spending some time talking with Jeff and touring the facility! I highly recommend!!!"

"Jeff does a really fantastic job running this facility. Always takes time to greet customers, just a genuinely nice guy who takes pride in his job and in maintaining an impeccably clean facility. Keep up the great work Jeff! You are the reason this facility is always so full.
Note to Life Storage management - hire more people like Jeff - people like him reflect really really well on the organization and make customers HAPPY to use your facility.
One example of how Jeff runs the facility - they recently had to relocate all of the campers at the facility in order to make room for a new building. Instead of waiting for formal "eviction" notices to go out to all the camper and trailer owners, Jeff took the time to personally call each of the owners to give them advance notice of the upcoming construction project. This gave all the owners additional advance notice (welcome for everyone) and gave them a chance to ask any questions they had. GREAT JOB JEFF!"
"Jeff was very friendly, professional and courteous. He took his time , explained the property and was very thorough. Everything is impeccably clean and well maintained. It is clear that Jeff takes pride in his work and is looking out for his customers."
"Impeccably kept, easy-peasy access, feels safe & secure...and the owner Jeff is pretty much the friendliest, most helpful guy out there. So happy I chose this location for my (now) multiple storage units!"
"We just moved from a large storage area to a smaller one,Jeff was very efficient with this process. He is always helpful and the place is very clean. Great place."
"Jeff ,the manager, runs this facility like he owns it personally. He keeps it clean and attractive and safe.
My wife & I recently decided that we were paying too much for storage of “stuff” we really didn’t need to store. I told Jeff of our concerns,he made some suggestions and “wam bang” we’re in a smaller unit, saving money and happy.
What a guy!
Thanks, Skip Conkling"
