"We had a very efficient experience with the registration. Tracie and Mike ensure that you know exactly what you need in order to complete your confirmation. I highly recommend renting from Life Storage if you need a convenient storage solution near State College."
"Mike was fantastic. I was pressed for time and trying to solve a separate issue when I came into the facility. Mike was incredibly helpful and generous. He made the rental process quick and easy, and I would recommend this facility to anyone based on his customer service alone."
"Mike and Tracy are amazing. Ive been going through a hard time, they helped me as much as they could. These two went above and beyond to help me figure out my situation. I APPRECIATE these two so much. This company is lucky to have these two running the place. They take pride in their jobs, and they treat the customer with excellent customer service. A lot of companies should train with you guys, you dont see this kind of customer service very often in this area. Thank you guys. You kade a hard situation really bearable, cheers."
"Overall, a great place for local storage needs. Traci and Mike were extremely helpful and professional. I used the facility for about 15 months and found the interactions, responsiveness and customer service to be top notch. The only reason for not giving "5 stars" was the issue with a significant mice infestation. Even though I was in the indoor/climate controlled section, it appears that another renter kept perishable items in his/her unit. Sadly, this ended up ruining a good amount of my stuff. Not sure there was much else Mike and Traci could have done (they replied to my concern immediately and follow-up with an incident report) but nonetheless, a non-pleasant experience."
"It’s our second time renting a unit here and the manager is always super helpful. Walked us around to show us the different units. Mike was extremely patient the whole time. Highly recommend Life Storage."
"Traci and Mark were a joy to deal with. They bent over backwards to help assure that our move went as smoothly as possible. Everything from the truck to the unit. Seamless transactions. Thank you."
"Mike and Tracie are wonderful! They have been extremely helpful and friendly! The storage units are nice and clean and well lit. Overall it has been a very positive experience and would recommend."
"Check in was easy and took less than 10 minutes. Michael Gallagher helped me through the process while keeping up great conversation. Unit was exactly as specified. Bring a lock if you can!"
"They don’t pro-rate if you move your stuff out before the billing cycle is up. Our billing cycle started on the 20th. We moved everything out on the 28th. We still have to pay for the remaining 20+ days while it sits empty. In the meantime they can rent the units I’m paying for and double dip. How is that even legal? I asked what would happen if someone moved into the unit I was paying for and I wanted to put something back in storage. Their response was they would ask the other people to move their stuff out. That’s great customer service!
We were also told the first month would be free then when we sign the contract all of a sudden our unit doesn’t qualify for the first month free. I’ll never recommend them to anyone."
"mike and tracie were very helpful and professional with the move in process. highly recommend life storage for everyone but especially college students leaving for summer!!!"
"Great price, efficient, and most importantly very human and polite which a lot of other places lack. I would recommend. Also the unit is clean as well."
"All of these reviews must be fake after the experience I just had. Mike at the front desk can be very kind IF you're there to pay rent. If you approach him about consistent mice problems and excrements all over your belongings you left in a place you thought your things would be safe, well... guess it's not Mike's problem either. I'm not talking about a little bit here and there, but an astonishing amount an army of mice left behind as they tore open bags of my things. I have never met a manager more dismissive of a customers issue with him essentially telling me to figure it out.This place is disgusting and the staff is less than helpful. Store your place somewhere else if you want it taken care of."
"Mike helped me get a storage unit and I had the BEST experience I have ever had in getting a storage unit. Customer service was excellent, I was provided with adequate information to make an informed decision, and enjoyed the experience overall! Very much recommended!!!"
"I got a recommendation from a friend of mine that life storage is the best place to rent in state college and I gave it a try. 5 months into my rent agreement I visit my unit and find mice infestation with ground fully covered by poo and pee. I set up mice traps and clean it up without filing a claim as I thought damage wasnt substantial. a couple months later, I come back in to find 3 more mice that turned my unit upside down. around 1000$ worth of damage as they ate a lot of electronic components. Mike at the front desk was extremely unhelpful and the only thing he said was to take a copy of the insurance pamphlet. He did not apologize or not even try to offer to visit my unit as he emphasized on the fact that I have a month late balance due that he was going to send to collections if I didn't pay before I vacate. COMPLETELY ABSURD and UNPROFESSIONAL. Look at the pictures and I advise no one to ever visit this place. the pictures show only a corner of the unit so I let you imagine the rest."
"We found the folks at Life Storage friendly and easy to work with. They provided safe and clean storage and excellent customer service to go with it."
"Very easy to rent online. They even called me when I accidentally locked my unit unlatched. The only issue I had was you need to fill out a paper form to end your rental and no email address is listed. But, they gave me that on the phone, so 👍!"
"The storage was perfect. Clean, well lit and always available. COVID didn’t allow for much time with the staff, but they were always there with a friendly wave."
"Everyone knows moving is simply the worst and always stressful... I have had horrible experiences in the past and I have moved across country and across town a few times. Figuring out the logistics is the most stressful and nothing ever works out the way you hope for it to go. With this said, Mike Gallagher the Store Manager at the State College 757 Science Park Rd Life Storage is probably the most exceptionally kind, calming, helpful, and all together wonderful human being I have worked with in a long time. I know none of us are getting many in person interactions these days, but between phone calls and the few in person interactions, just... WOW!!! for most exceptional Customer Service Award 🥇 of the year is certainly granted to Mike! I hope someone from Corporate sees this... They would be silly not to recognize what an asset he is to have as a part of their organization. Thank you Mike! 😊"
"Tracey was extremely helpful and patient as she worked with me. She walked me through a couple of things while trying to complete my contract and answered all of my questions. I was having some things moved in and then realized I needed a second unit and on the spot she was able to connect me so that I could complete a new contract without having to wait to store my things (this was important because I was in CT and my storage is in PA). She is definitely customer centered and made the interaction pleasant."
"Incredibly easy and simple to store your items and access them 24/7. Mike was incredibly helpful in getting me set up and answering all my questions. I would definitely recommend!"
"Highly recommended. The store manager, Mike, went out of his way to make sure that every detail was taken care of and to our satisfaction. Worry-free. The price was also great with the free first month of storage."
"I have leased a unit from Life Storage twice and the customer service is always excellent. I always feel safe at the facility and know my items are too. Highly recommend."
"A+ for customer service. Felt safe storing my items. Well organized operation. Will definitely use the Company again and would give them a 5 Star recommendation."
"The Manager at our facility, Tracie O'Connor, was always there when we visited the office. She was consistently friendly and helpful. We will definitely recommend this location to our friends!"
"Life Storage in State College PA made the usually stressful process of moving convenient and cost effective. I’d happily do business with your company again and will recommend you to anyone looking for storage services"
"Very highly recommended. Excellent customer service and great prices. Rented their moving truck for the easiest, most convenient move I’ve ever had. You won’t find better facilities or staff anywhere else."
"My experience with Life Storage far exceeded any expectations I had for the impact that storage units could make. In a time that has been challenging for so many with facing the uncertainties of the pandemic, Mike and Traci did everything they possible could to accommodate our needs.
Their professionalism and customer focused care has made Life Storage stand out far above other storage options."
"I have used this Life Storage for two moves. Both times I had a great experience. Clean, good-sized units and they often have deals or can help make sure that you are renting exactly what you need for as long as you need to. The moving truck is also a plus! I wouldn't think to rent anywhere else with great experiences here. I have spoken with both Mike and Tracie and they are both friendly and prompt. Overall super satisfied!!"
"Mike and Tracie are very kind and provide excellent customer service. The facility offers a wide range of storage sizes as well as a box truck to rent at a competitive price. The only down side to the facility is the dumpsters (at no fault to the staff), they're just always full."
"Mike is friendly and professional and has provided exemplary service with every interaction weve had. No relation, but he has treated me like family. Highly recommend this location."
"Mike Gallagher and the Life Storage Company at State College, Pennsylvania are a God send. During this pandemic, all of my daughters belongings were locked in her dorm room and we live 4 hours away. With the uncertainty of when we would be allowed to retrieve her belongings, I called Life Storage for some options. Mike not only calmed me down and talked me off the ledge, but he was so patient in helping me to secure a storage space. Mike continued to check in with me to find out how we were doing while also holding the storage space for me until we were ready. Thank you to Mike and Life Storage for being so decent and understanding during a time when that is not always the case."
"This place refused to call me back so I could make arrangements with my life falling apart to get my stuff out before I couldn't afford to get it out!"
"I cannot say enough about Mike and Tracie. They have been so incredibly kind and helpful. I am over at the locker at least once a week and I am always greeting with a friendly hello, a smile and a wave. We store completed Jared Boxes in a locker. Life Storage has generously donated a locker for us to store our Jared Boxes. In addition, the use of of one additional locker over the holiday is so appreciated. A Jared Box is a plastic shoebox filled with games and toys and fun activities. Boxes are delivered to on a regular basis to local hospitals. The use of this storage locker has been such an amazing help. I would highly recommend Life Storage. Cindy Kolarik, The Jared Box Project www.thejaredbox.com"
"Mike and Tracie are the best. I have to go to our locker weekly and without a doubt I know I will be greeted with a smile and wave as I come and go. Our non-profit (The Jared Box Project) has been lucky enough to find a space here to store completed Jared Boxes until the hospitals needs them. When the weather hasn't been the greatest (freezing temperatures) and I need a little extra help with our lock, they are there to help me out without asking a question. The use of the storage locker has been a tremendous help to our organization. I highly recommend Life Storage to anyone looking for storage options."
"We've been really impressed with Life Storage. From easy, informative and online booking to friendly and informative staff and obvious high security measures, we know we made the correct choice for storage in State College."
"I absolutely love this company. I have been a long time customer with no issues. Upon having my first problem Michael was very helpful and understanding to my problem. He went beyond customer service. I would hands down recommend this store to anyone."
"My wife and I just moved back to the state college area. Michael was able to help us find a perfect spot in less than our short 24 hour notice. He was knowledgable, more than willing to help, and a polite man to deal with. Happy with our choice."
"Michael exceeded my expectations! I was so glad to find this convenient, safe, clean storage facility to store household while I get my new digs ready. Staff is way professional, and price is good. Thanks for your help in making a drudge chore easy. I recommend Life Storage highly : )"
"Mike is amazing. Mike is always pleasant and finding solutions as well as providing realistic options. Have to respect a manager who doesn't blow steam for temporary business.
Thank you Mike."
"They were great and very attentive and helpful! I needed to donate a mattress and they were able to give me a listing of places that would be happy to help. Not being from the area, that was priceless! Thank you for everything!"
"I had a wonderful experience here. The staff is very friendly and professional. Mike and Tracie are both fabulous! The facilities are clean and safe. It is also very close to campus so it is easy to access. If I ever need to rent a storage locker or if someone asks for a recommendation this is where I will go/tell them about."
"Very neat and clean facility. Mike and Theresa are very personable , patient with all our questions, easy to work with. In a nice neighborhood of State College. Everything about our experience here was top notch. Highly recommend."
"The managers here take advantages on the price-demand and modify agreements without any communication (cancel reservations/change rates).
These people are not trustworthy to build business with, they are also rude and irresponsible."
"Six months after using this facility they raised my rent. The last two months every time I try to pay online it says I have made the payment but there is a glitch in the website and then a week later I get a $15 late fee attached to my bill which this time I have photo evidence."
"Since the new owners took over, this storage has gone downhill. The new owners no longer play music. It is no longer climate controlled. There have been some days over the winter where I needed to be in my storage unit for a long period of time. Even with my winter coat on, I would be freezing after a few minutes. My fingers would get so numb, I couldn't wait to get outside where it was warmer. And now there are mouse turds all over my stuff. I never had that problem with the previous owners. I do not recommend this place at all."
"Mike and Tracy are great! They are very helpful and make renting with them very easy. We live out of state, but our son goes to Penn State. They let us do a remote move in so that we could handle all the paperwork via internet. Highly recommend!"
"Life Storage at State College, PA is absolutely the best. They have been nothing but wonderful to deal with - we are in California and needed to set up a storage space for our granddaughter. Mike and crew could not have been more helpful in arranging for us to do this. We are so thankful they were so helpful. I would recommend them to everyone."
"I started a rental here yesterday. The process of setting up my account was quite simple. Theresa and Michael were very helpful in my deciding the type of storage unit i would like. Seeing the different units in person was very helpful to me. Using the facility by entering my personal account number as I drive in will make entering quite easy. The units I saw were quite clean. All in all I had a very positive experience."
"I was concerned that customer service would decrease when a major company took over the facility. But LifeStorage has been just as helpful as the prior owner. We rent year-round but we change units in the Fall and back again a few months later. The staff is very helpful and always reminds us when its time to change and a unit will be available. We are very happy with the service."
"Mike and team are awesome. They have helped me and my organization, the SC Lions Youth Football and Cheerleading team, with important logistics for equipment sizing events which is critical to our success each year. All team members are extremely helpful and project a positive, "we can do that" attitude" at all times. This is refreshing in the world today where customer service is often times lacking. Please pass this on to Mike and his team at the State College Store on Science Park Road."
"The staff at Life Storage is amazing. Mike especially helped me so much with making everything as easy and understandable as possible. Would definitely use this service again."
"The online rental service was fast and easy. Took 10 minutes, and the lock was ready when I got to the unit. Friendly customer service representatives"
"Michael Gallagher is great! I have used this Storage facility for the last 3 years and never had an issue. They contact you by email or phone if there is ever an issue (got a new credit card and forgot to update with them). They have always been polite and kind.
If you are military, then this is your place. They have a discount for veterans and active military. Plus if you get deployed and there is a payment issue, they allow you to maintain your unit until you get back and have a chance to work things out."
"When clearing the storage area of snow please ensure snow does not become bunched up at the front of the units. It can be very difficult to gain access to the units themselves"
"I took care of all the particulars over the phone and when I arrived from out of state my unit was ready and key held for me just as promised. The process was worry free."
The entrance, aisles, and most drive-up accessible storage units are wide enough to accommodate large vehicles, up to and including 54' tractor trailers.
