"I don't mind paying a little more than other places, if I'm getting exceptional service. Elizabeth made me feel like my rental matters very much, initially and still today. That's what good customer service is about!"
"Polite, professional and courteous. Great experience! I will definitely recommend this location. Commotrina exhibited great customer service and makes you feel welcome."
"I had a great experience with this storage company!!!! Customer Service is on point! Ms Hunter is very professional when it comes to her customers! She’s wasn't rude, I don’t know what that other customers was talking about. Also Phone Service was amazing! Ms Hunter is a polite, respectful and help young Women, I give it a 5 stars!"
"The young lady Ms. Hunter was very nice and assist with getting my paperwork together from online to in store. The location is very clean and I didn’t see any critters or remnants in the new unit I moved into. The hours of operation for the office are a little wired but at the same time the access hours work perfect."
"Absolutely the most horrible customer service I've ever encountered in Columbia. The female manager has consistently been the rudest, most ignorant acting person in management I've seen in years. She doesn't deserve to manage a toilet much less a public facility. The place is filthy and the operational hours are horrendous. Take my advice and choose ANYWHERE ELSE to rent."
"Kind of angry 😡 that on going to put somethings in storage opened my door to a catastrophe which it want be worth filing a insurance claim.Im glad I didn't have a majority of my boxes on the floor for the ones that were on the floor got soaked at the bottom and some of my trophies were broken which are very sentimental to me"
"I called to get information about a small unit, the young lady Miss Falisha help answer questions, very courtesy, knows her jobs very well, great service. Thank you so much, will see you soon."
"Ms. Felica is a great store manager, she assisted me with a storage. She was very polite and respectful. She took her time to make sure everything was done correctly. Ms. Felica is new to the store and bring a warming welcome to the store. I appreciate her service and life storage for providing good customer service."
"Do not rent a storage unit here! not security at all! Our unit was broken into on Jan 6 and again Jan 16 2022 along with 9 or 10 other units. We pay excessive fees over $200 a month and the security is nonexistent. They take no responsibility for loss. The Manager dances around excuses giving no resolve or information as this is 5th breaking, crooks just come to shop whenever they want. There was a Military Vet there yesterday who said his unit had been broken into now 4 times and another couple who said this was the 3rd time. Also Dec 27th breakin. Massive wholes cut in the fence and unit doors destroyed. They would not open the unit door for us when we showed up, said we had to come back later, Did not make an effort to reach us. Would not speak to emergency contacts on file. My husband was out of the country. They left no information in the one call they made to my office. Did not call back from the first break-in. Claimed they called our cell but no call log refused to show video footage. The police said the breaking are always out of camera view and its a poor camera system. Security guard and camera upgrades have been suggested but with no changes. With many valuables lost for so many, they offered 1 month's rent credit. Find a new place! Multiple break-ins and always out of cameras view. Odd when they know where they are coming in from. How easy it would be to hire a security guard with all that money or put in a better camera system or at least one where they have created a door in the fence. As a business owner Im discussed at the lack of customer service, protection and care provided based on the pricing being charged. Karma is not going to be pretty."
"Exceptional and accommodating service at Life Storage. The 2648 Two Notch Rd location is also perfect for me because it is close to downtown but also far enough away and access. Ask for Australia, she is very professional and will recommend the correct unit."
"Ms. Australia is the best...I came in the facility and was greeted very professional and pleasant. I was in search of a unit to hold my belongings but unfortunately there weren’t any available at the time. Ms. Australia tried her best to help me with a unit. She’s very helpful and respectful. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE 10 stars!!!"
"Tom and Australia were wonderful at setting me up with my unit and making sure I understood the details of my agreement. They made sure I was satisfied with my space and the service was friendly and fast. Thank you guys so much at Life Storage! Super amazing staff! They also have a great selection of supplies to protect your items."
"We've been really happy with Life Storage. Karol is fantastic to work with- really helpful and she made sure we had all of the info we needed for our storage unit. She called before and after we made our first trip up there to be sure we were happy and didn't need anything or have any questions. The unit was very clean and the bag was waiting for us with all of the supplies we needed. We definitely recommend them to anyone who needs storage in Columbia!"
"The phone eloquent was very professional. The knowledge of the services was average. Firm presence. I did not get the goodie bag though. I needed the storage that day . Great"
"Had an excellent experience storing things at 2648 Two Notch Road location. Karol was an amazing help when it came time to close out the account when I was able to move it all out of storage. Highly recommend!"
"I enjoy being a customer at Life storage at 2648 Two Notch. Their prices are very affordable. Customer service is great. Carol is one of the reps. She is very helpful and nice. Highly recommend !!!!"
"My family won a storage unit from this facility and the process to retrieve the unit was easy. After we won the unit, I called the facility and spoke with the manager, Karol. She told me their hours and when we could do the paperwork. I got there to do the paperwork, paid for the unit and paid the refundable cleaning deposit. Me and my family cleaned out the unit and received our cleaning deposit back. The staff was great and provided excellent customer service from start to finish! Their facility is clean and I would recommend others to buy storage units from here along with storing items here. I didn't see any bugs or rodent activity in the units or on the premises so that's always a plus!!!"
"Great and very professional and soft spoken.. She was very helpful with everything that I needed and also gave me some great information.. Glad to have my things in a nice safe and secure place.."
"Kenya has excellent customer service and great environment . This was a lie. I was told to say this to get a discount. Very rude people to have to deal with. Go elsewhere"
"Excellent customer service..!!! Ms. Karol Boyd has the best personality and helped me out during my "Furniture's stay"...to operate this business. Thank you..!!!"
"After a long day of chaotic moving, I enjoyed pleasantries with a warm welcome from Ms.Karol to me and my sons. She is an asset, patiently helping to get just the right unit for our needs and making us feel comfortable about the safety of our belongings. Thank you Ms. Karol!"
"I cant remember the ladys name but I believe she is the manager. She was a great help although I accidentally went to the wrong location. Excellent customer service!"
"Love the staff...very friendly! The storage space was just what I needed and I was able to move in and out comfortably. Thanks
Happy Customer,
Sabrina"
"It was the worse ever the staff is not good . Let me rephrase it because the young lady before was very kind but this older lady her customer service is not well and they don't treat for bugs and it smells I'm leaving it and recommend don't use it. My experience has been the worse ever been there for years and this kinda of treatment is not good ."
"I have been storing my things here at Life Storage for three years now! The staff has always been great, especially Kenya. She is very helpful, professional & friendly! I do recommend Kenya & Life Storage on Two Notch Road to anyone looking to store their life!"
"Reservation of the unit was super easy via their website. Setup kit was provided (lock, key, information packet). Facility seemed well maintained and with adequate security.
Closing out the unit was a breeze (did it in person, not sure if there was an online option). The clerk (sorry I can't remember her name as I was only there for about a minute) was SUPER friendly.
Only had the unit about a month, but overall was a very pleasant experience. I will definitely be going back here if I need storage in the future."
"Friendly people. They even emailed us to let us know that unit was unlocked at one point. There have been a few increases to our rate and many spiders in the unit. Also, you can access your unit late."
"Want to thank Ms.Tara an Ms.kenya for the excellent customer service...I will be recommend customers to Life Storage on two notch Rd Columbia...GREAT JOB LADIES"
"Amazing! Service.
Kenya was quick and easy to work with. Paperwork was a piece of cake.
Literally came in, picked the truck up and did my move. Time-lines were flexible and the customer service was beyond reproach. I usually dont do 5 stars, but this place earned.
Military personnel, I highly encourage the use of their services."
"Ms. Kenya was very nice, warm spirit, and can hold a good conversation while processing information. She was respectful and patient also kind. Ive really enjoyed her service!"
"I really like LIFE STORAGE on TWO NOTCH. The manager, Kenya, is so friendly and professional, and she was very helpful in getting me the best price and in helping me determine the size unit I needed. She even recommended other places if I did not find hers to my liking. She is also someone who you can tell really cares about the place. SHE is the reason I chose LIFE STORAGE!"
"I had the BEST experience here. Kenya was absolutely incredible. She was so kind, professional, and quick! She had a very busy day and was helping everyone in a timely manner. She went above and beyond to ensure everyone including myself was having the best experience possible. Thank you Kenya for all of your help!"
"Im extremely happy with my service my move was stressful but my over all move was a blessing thank you Life storage and thank you Kenya youre the best"
"After 18 years of living in our home we had to move and it was a bitter/ sweet experience. So many memories, so much STUFF....but none the less CHANGE and the people at Life Storage helped to make what could have been an exasperating move, a challenge free exodus! They had exactly what I needed at a cost that had to be from God! From the no-cost truck rental to the excellent customer service, I will be forever greatful to Ms Karol, Kenya and the Life Storage team! Thanks for EVERYTHING!!!!"
"the young lady was in the cold rain showing me the spaces with a smile. very nice lady that at the time was dealing with the lost of someone very dear"
"Appreciated the professional nature of the staff. Also appreciated the willingness of the staff to work with me when life threw me curveballs, and I had some payment issues. They treated me with compassion and respect. The customer service was excellent!!"
"This is not the first time I have used uncle bob's storage, but knowing the company,
it is the reason why I came to Uncle Bob [Life Storage] s. They are really nice, professional, and I use and refer them often. Thank you again."
"Used the service for over 10 years. Very much appreciated the auto payment service. When calling from overseas I was remembered! I had only had a minor glitch with changing credit cards due to fraud. The system made me wait caused a late payment cuz I forgot to go back. My auto was in grand shape just as stored it. When is was time to close down the unit the clerk was extremely supportive and attentive in getting the tow truck to my unit. Great professional experience over the decade. Than you so much. . "
"Debbie, the manager at the storage unit was always friendly and professional. A pleasure to work with. When ever I called, she was always eager to take care of my needs and answer my questions.."
"Everything was previously prepared when I called and when I arrived at the store the information and price was the same as quoted, I love consistency. The agent was awesome as well, she definitely needs a raise because I still remember her and I moved out a month ago."
"I'm greeted promptly when they see me on the property, I go there at varying times. Staff is very nice.
The reason I said my building was kind of neat is because only I have access. Any mess is my fault. Around it is clean. I also rent a space for a trailer. The area around it is well kept."
"I have rented off-and-on for several years. The office folks, generally, are very helpful. Only once did I have a bad, bad, bad experience...and that was several years ago."
"Staff is always excellent. Property and office are always immaculately clean. Even the hallways in the storage areas appear to be swept clean on a regular basis, which is worthy of praise, since it gets really hot in there during our summers.
My only issue has been the rising costs on the units. I realize that the pricing has nothing to do with the local managers, however.
The manager(s) are doing a good job for you. They clearly work hard to maintain a good reputation for Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]. I'm happy to recommend your company to others."
The entrance, aisles, and most drive-up accessible storage units are wide enough to accommodate large vehicles, up to and including 54' tractor trailers.
