"Only needed a unit for a month. Thought it was going to be about $50 with their "deal", but it was about double that. Otherwise, the facility was fine, though no one actually works at that lot, so if you need help you need to call a different facility."
"Love this place...Very secure and clean...Friendly staff...The only complaint is no on site trash bin for small items to be thrown away like empty boxes..."
"We have rented a unit here for years (When they were still Uncle Bob's) The move in process years ago was simple and we just cleaned out our unit and Cyndi made the process of closing out our account so easy. If we ever need a storage unit again we will definitely be back"
"This location is great. Cyndi is an absolute amazing help! I've upgraded my units 3 times, and I never have an issue. Been storing here on and off for years. Hands down best location and prices in the area."
"I just can't believe the customer service,at life storage at old trolley Rd.,this is what this nasty pandemic needs!!that people are more than an excuse for service!!kudos to all at life storage!!will recommend to all I know and love!!Amen!!"
"Facility and the storage places are clean however, the customer service sucks! If you call to ask a question your constantly harassed or reminded you have a payment due even if your not late. I feel this is very unprofessional I don’t need to be reminded when a payment is due. Please assist me with the questions I have at the present moment."
"Cybil was so incredibly helpful and kind! I’ve never used a storage unit before - she made me feel incredibly confident through the entire process, explaining each step as we went. She even helped me get all of the supplies I needed, and they didn’t cost me an arm and a leg like I had anticipated. Highly recommend this storage place, Cybil’s customer service is just an added bonus!"
"Okay, so the best customer service ever !! Everything got taken care of in a quick and timely manner. Took only 20 minutes to show the unit and sign my contract ! Cyndy is amazing ✨"
"I have had my items stored here for a year and just upgraded to a larger unit. The prices are good, and the online rental process was easy to navigate. Cindy from the rental office was super helpful and made sure everything transitioned smoothly for me.
**The only reason for four stars instead of five is that my old unit was an internal one, and the door of the unit opened TOWARD the door to the inside area. This meant that I needed to carry my boxes into the inside hallway, close the door to my unit, and then carry them outside (or the reverse when I had carried them into the unit."
"Cyndi was very helpful she helped us find the size we needed and offered merchandise that would be helpful with our move. She also explained how the van rental worked which was a great deal. Thank You for all your help. Judy"
"Cindy was GREAT in assisting my husband and I! We needed to store our vehicle and Cindy educated us, assisted us and completed the needed paperwork FAST and EFFICIENT! A pleasure to work with. Cindy has a terrific facility."
"Cyndi Kearney was a amazing help seriously!! I highly recommend paying a visit when in need of storage ! She was such a kind hearted woman and helped in our time of need !"
"I have been very happy every time I have dealt with this facility / location. Staff is very nice and helpful, and grounds have always been clean and well maintained. I rented their truck to move the other week, and Cindi was great to deal with. There were some issue with the computer, but she did not let that stop her from getting me on the road as quickly as possible. Thanks for all your help Cindi."
"I rented two different size storage units at different periods of time from Life Storage in the last 5 years and would definitely go back if I had need for storage again in the future. I think their prices are reasonable and their service is friendly."
"In all of the storage location that we rent from SC to GA, we have to say this location is out favorite. Our firm also believe in good customer service and the lady at this location always go behind the call of duty. We would give 10 stars if it was available."
"Cyndi was absolutely awesome. She helped me move from one size storage unit to a larger one with no problems! Very helpful and great communication. Diffently recommend this place."
"I had called several places and got different answers.I was starting to get very frustrated on if I could even get a storage unit on a Sunday. However, I drove by this location and just walked in. Bob was there to help me out and I had a storage unit within 10 minutes. Great customer service and very friendly. I highly recommend this location."
"It was Cyndi who showed me around and tried to get me into a month free unit but it became unavailable by the time we got back into the office and she called another location to get me the size unit needed and deal reserved! Went above and beyond. A+++ customer service!"
"I have had to move 3 times in the last year for work and I have had to rent multiple storage rooms from various places . I have to say that my experience with Life storage on Old Trolley rd. Was truly above and beyond. I called ahead scouting prices and amenities and I spoke with a woman named Cindy. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. When I arrived at the facility . There was Cindy. From the time I walked in to the time she showed me to my unit , couldn't have taken more that 15 minutes. I highly recommend Life storage and I couldn't be more pleased with the professional and courteous staff."
"Very pleased with the service I received. Very friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend life storage on trolley road to my friends. Best price too! Thank you Cindy!"
"Kim was wonderful and patient. She helped me find the right unit for my needs and when that one didn’t work out, she helped me switch to another one that did! I appreciate the professionalism that Life Storage has exhibited to me thus far in our relationship."
"Rented a storage space for the 1st time and Georgie at Life Storage was extremely helpful. As a 70 year old woman, I appreciated her patience with me. She explained everything to me and made sure that I was comfortable was the process. Life Storage should be proud to have her represent their company."
"Cindy was GREAT!! We had a couple curve balls thrown our way and her and her team just knocked em out the park !! Felt more like I was talking to an old friend not someone I just met, not just anyone can make you feel like that. I am glad we made the choice of Life Storage on old trolley rd our storage facility. Thanks Cindy , and James not only are you geniuses but great ppl to be around. I give yall 10 outta 10 stars"
"They have rodent issues and my unit has water damage... Insurance claim in progress but that doesn't replace things that are irreplaceable... The staff never answers the phone. They often hang a "be right back" sign on the door but they are inside with the lights turned off. Go elsewhere for your storage needs."
