"I was storing my trailer at a different location and having stored at this site before, wanted to come back because I knew how professional the team was. I was lucky there was a site available and they worked with me to reserve the spot for me for a short time until I picked up my new camper. Definitely exceeded my expectations."

"My experience was outstanding. There is only one thing that I found to be somewhat frustrating. A few times when I had wanted to talk with someone the office was closed for lunch, or, they were not there for another reason. I either would have to wait until someone came back or I would have to come back at another time. No big deal.I still rate Uncle Bob's as the best and will still recommend Uncle Bob's to others. "

"The manager of the facility was extremely kind and even offered to help me move my things if I got to my storage locker and I didn't have any help because I have a bad back. He answered all of my questions and even though I ended up cancelling my need for the moving truck, he made sure to try to get the company's permission allow me to change my moving date. "

"I will go out of my way to find an Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] when I need storage in the future. As a traveling consultant on a long term job I needed a place to stow my clothes & rolling kitchen. Main features I needed were 24 hour access, cleanliness, security, and within my budget. There were closer options but Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] was the only place that ticked all the boxes, plus had a really nice manager. Only improvement would be more tiny units. My unit was about 2x as big as I needed. "
