"They continuingly raise their unit prices every few months...They raised my unit price in November 2021 and I just received an email saying they are raising my price again starting March 1, 2022... I'm currently looking to store else where..."
"Teresa was extremely nice and did a very good job explaining everything to me perfectly so I can understand.
I would recommend , and especially if she’s behind the counter! thanks Teresa"
"I have been using Life Storage for over 5 years for my storage needs and have always had amazing experiences. Today I was serviced by Lyndsey, and she was absolutely phenomenal!!! Her personality is refreshing, so warm and friendly. She made me feel so welcomed and assisted with all my needs even let me vent a little lol I highly recommend not only Life Storage, but Lyndsey for your customer service needs!! She rocks!"
"Lisa is a remarkable customer service agent & answered all my questions when inquiring about a space. I’m new to the whole storage world and wanted to get some prices, life storage has the best deals out there. 10/10 and I look forward to doing business with them"
"Lindsay was pleasant and professional. The entire process was seamless and easy. Everything was exactly as explained when I placed my reservation online. I also had an encounter with Lisa as well and she was also pleasant and professional. I would definitely recommend Life Storage to anyone in need of a unit or a moving vehicle!"
"My boss went here to rent a storage unit. She signed all the proper documents to have it taken out automatically from her bank account, something apparently happened and that did not happen. When we reached out to the manger about it when she was alerted to the late fees and how to resolve the situation, he instead kept trying to differ blame instead of just apologizing for the inconvenience and explaining how to fix the issue. She has reached out to the main office about the situation with no response from them."
"Lisa has been extremely helpful through all stages of the processes of both aquiring and vacating a storage space at this facility. We'll definitely come back as business needs permit. Thanks from everyone at ADCOMM INC."
"Tonya assisted me with securing my unit. She was excellent waking me through the process and ensuring my unit was to my satisfaction. I would also like to say the guy I spoke with initially was excellent in walking me through initial steps of securing my reservation. Excellent staff both in person and on the phone. Love 24 he access and each unit comes with individual light."
"My experience here has been absolutely outstanding. I believe the lady who helped me was Lisa, she was very professional and polite and quick to answer questions. She was willing to go out of her way to show me multiple units and discuss prices with me . I definitely will recommend this location."
"I i'm an existing customer of life storage so far my experience has been spectacular today i got an additional unit and zack has been extremely helpful in making the process exceptionally easy"
"Lisa was very helpful with solving a very worrisome situation that occurred when my unit was canceled and rented to someone else. She was very friendly and corrected the situation at no extra charge to me. I highly recommend that any future tenants for this location attempt to work with Lisa Garven when setting up the rental agreement!"
"I had a horrible experience with this storage facility that used to be called Uncle Bobs Self Storage and right before they transitioned into Life Storage. When I rented my unit I dealt with Jean Valentine the former manager and she and her husband made a few prejudice remarks about my black male friends that were helping me move into my unit. Jean also lied to me and my female friend that was with me when I rented my unit by stating that they had no issues with critters and mice getting into the storage units. I later experienced bugs and mice getting into my units and the management not doing too much about it when I complained and discovered the critters. I also had a problem with a big wasp hive being right above my unit and I complained about it many times to Jean(the old manager) and the new manager Lisa and they didnt do nothing about it.
These storage units are very over priced and are not quality units for the money that is asked for the units. I also remember Jean and her staff used to harass me for my payment for my unit. They would call me two to three times a day before my payment was due and after. They also would send multiple emails and texts. I understand that they wanted their money but constantly sending texts emails and phone calls is annoying. I dont mind friendly reminders
Lisa and the Ohio District manager were very nasty towards me when I called the national customer service line and asked if I could get a late charged refunded after I tried paying my bill on time when I was in the hospital. There was some technical difficulties with their website that prevented me from paying my bill. So when I asked Lisa the manager about this she told me to call the national customer service number because she believed the district doesnt allow refunds anymore. So I did that and explained the problem. A few days after I done this Lisa the manager put a wet termination letter on my unit door on dated the same day that I called the national customer service number asking if I could get a refund for my late fees. She and the letter alleged that I was being a trouble maker and Uncle Bobs no longer wanted me as a customer. I tried calling Lisa and the District manager about this matter and they were very nasty towards me and kept cutting me off when I was trying to have intelligent dialogue with them about the matter. They also made up lies on my character to support that I was a' trouble maker' . Despite me being a good customer and giving them thousands of dollars for my storage unit they wanted me out for simply asking for a few problems to be fixed. I feel they may have treated me like this because of I am a person of color. I also talked to several people that were of color and they told me that they had nasty experiences with Uncle Bobs/Life Storage. I hope that the company has change its prejudice views and accepts all people from all backgrounds."
"I had an awesome experience with Lisa! She was very helpful and knowledgeable about the units! Thank you so much I'd recommend renting with her anytime."
"Lisa at Lifestorage on Cleveland Ave store 709# was so excellent by helping me with the process online payment.I was getting frustrated with the steps she saved the day. Thank you Lisa !! Keep up the excellent work."
"I came here cause it was the cheapest place in the city.. Great staff Ambrionna and Lisa helped me out showed me the unit.. Aye life storage. They need raises. But its a great place!!"
"I gave 1 * because of the action I received. But what is unexplainable is how do a company lock up your storage until you make a payment after you tell them you are closing your storage. I called so the lady I clean out my storage and I then I need it anymore. I mean I do not need or am I using this storage. So I asked if they can stop the payments because I shouldn't have to pay for storage that I am not using. So they lock up the storage and tell me that I need to pay for that month. And for the next month if they don't get the lock off. This is ridiculous ridiculous and it doesn't make any sense. What just happened is they made a circle to take money from innocent people."
"I've looked into a numerous amount of facilities that best suits the needs for my family. The store assistant manager, Zachariah C., was absolutely phenomenal! He was very patient, informative and helped me feel that my investment into the company's resources- for my most precious assets, would be best served here compared to all the rest. Thank you!"
"The attendant, Zach was very kind, knowledgeable and super helpful. The store and units are very clean and I saved 20% on package items! I would definitely recommend this store for your storage needs!"
"The manager, Deb is AWESOME! She was able to resolve my issue and has always been courteous and professional. Great attitude and responsive to customers."
"I have never had to rent a storage space so I didn't know what to expect. I was super happy with the price and the readiness of the space as I set up the registration just before I moved to town. The location is really convenient in regards to the place where I'm living for the next few months, and I'm thankful."
"My experience was a very good one and I would recommend you to others. In fact I did recommended you to my company and they have rented two units as a result of my recommendation."
"I recently dropped off some items in my unit and there was a crew putting new black top on the storage grounds and they made sure I had access while they were working and took pride in showing me how flat they made the old bumpy path. Nice to see! Also anytime I needed help I have been assisted quickly with a smile."
"The entire staff was very friendly and helhelpful. They treated me like family whwhen I walked in the door. I will definitely rent there again in the future."
"Lisa was very knowledge and informative. She was very attentive and made sure that I had all the information I needed in order to choose Uncle Bob's storage to meet my needs. She was pleasant and I would recommend your organization to family members or friends. Every time I have been in the building it has been clean. "
"The team at this location was so friendly, very respectable, and easy to work with. I have never felt so comfortable and appreciated as a customer until I met the team working at the Cleveland Ave location. Excellent job!"
"You guys need to give one time courtesy extensions to loyal customers. And the associates need to be more friendly and considerate and show more empathy towards customers. And you guys need to provide a corporate number for those seeking to file a complaint or grievance."
"I would just like to say that I was very pleased with the customer service and 24 hour accessibility to the facility.
I work a split shift and it help tremendously.
I always felt safe and was pleased to know that an on site manger was available if I had any concerns of questions.
I would highly recommend. 5 stars."
"I have rented from here for almost 2 decades. I would prefer if we didn't get threatened with a lean and/or lock out before a month is past due. I know this is a business but people have unique situations too. I feel more like a valued customer if I'm not stalked for a payment that is late less than a full month. Other than that, I love the place! "
"We LOVED Jean! She was so helpful in assisting us with the perfect place for our moving truck to back in to unload storage items. She was always friendly, personable and organized. I wish you could duplicate her for all your facilities!! "
"I met with Jean who manages this location, and she was exactly perfect in every way. She was very nice and polite, she answered all of my questions and told me so many I didn't realize I needed to know. She was truly a real pleasure to do business with."
"Jean at the office is awesome. The property looks very clean and very well maintained. When I see Jean around the complex she always checks in to say hello and to see if there is anything I need. She is great. She makes me want to use this storage location and never go anywhere else. We looked at SEVERAL locations and we are very glad to have picked this one. "
"The lady was very friendly and quick. I liked that she offered me products and services. I did buy a lock for my space. I will tell friends to use the Cleveland Ave location for these reasons."
"I was very satisfied with Uncle Bob's storage facility. Everything was explained to me fullyx where as I had no trouble understanding. I'm a very happy customer."
"I selected 'Unsure' because unlike other storage locations, the lock has to be purchased on location-the lock is specific to Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]. I'm not sure if other customers would like this feature as I did not also. "
"We are very appreciative of the extraordinary help and genuinely friendly attitude the management staff extended to us. The storage rooms were exceptionally clean and we will use your facility whenever we have need of a storage facility and would be glad to recommend you to others. Thank you again for your service. "
"I had a great experience storing my things at Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]. I felt like my things were safe, and just overall had a good experience. I will recommend if I ever know anyone needing a storage space."
"I liked that I was able to get into my unit 24 hours a day if needed. When we were moving some things out of our unit, the office manger came by to see if all was okay and even brought us some water because it was a hot day. If we should need a unit again i would call Uncle Bob's first, Thank you. Valerie"
