"HAVE BEEN A TENANT FOR OVER 5 YEARS.TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT CURRENTLY THE MANAGER SARA IS RUDE AND VERY ABRASIVE IN PROBLEM SOLVING ISSUES. BATHROOM ALWAYS FILTHY, NO TOILET PAPER, NO AC, NO SOAP, NO HOT WATER. WE ARE IN A SEVERE PANDEMIC THAT REQUIRES SAFETY MEASURES AND IT SEEMS SARA DOESNT CARE ABOUT THE TENANTS HEALTH SAFETY. THERE IS 1 BATHROOM TO SHARE WITH MANY TENANTS AND AT LEAST WE SHOULD HAVE A CLEAN ENVIOREMENT. SEVERAL OF THE CURRENT TENANTS HAVE COMPLAINED AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP. SARA DOES WHATEVER SHE WANTS WITHOUT HAVING RESPECT AND CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS."

There were several layers of security (a pass key protected gate, a code protected door, a personal n al lock for the unit, cameras everywhere) that gave me confidence that my items were secure. The exterior of the facility is an attractive brick that gives another appearance of security and style compared to other sheet metal storage facilities."

"I've had a storage unit in this facility since it was built nearly 20 years ago, when it was a Mom-and-Pop operation. The place has changed hands a few times since then, but it really became a really good storage place when Life Storage took over. The staff -- Sara, Brandon, and Monica, are all very friendly and very helpful. They will help you find the right size storage unit that will fit your needs and stay within your budget.
The buildings are clean and well maintained, and the newer building (E) is completely climate controlled. The security is better than most of the other storage facilities I've used over the years, which gives me peace of mind."
"The Manager Sarah was an amazing help to me when I didnāt have any help to move. I had my unit for a while here with no problems an if I ever need some extra space to store my things I will most definitely come back.!"
"Monica and Benny are super helpful and efficient at getting the paperwork done. No hassles and very kind. This was the least stressful part of moving because of them."
"I stop Life Storage to check out a space due to me cleaning out my guest room and not wanting to give away or sale my daughters child hood stuff and Benito Ybarra was very professional, patient, efficient and explained how the rental storage process works.
I highly recommend anyone to check out this location if you are in need of a storage place. Rather is for a long term storage or short term."
"This place is incredible. Easy access, great lighting, lots hand carts by elevators, they even gave me a free van for a day to make my move. For all the nice things very affordable. But seriously why 5 stars? The manager Monica - she was nice, answered all questions and had a huge smile. Made me smile during a stressful move."
"This place is incredible. Ā Easy access. Ā Free van to use when moving everything in. Carts right at entrances for ease of move. Ā Elevators, nice lighting. Ā And why did I give them 5-stars? Their manager Monica was so nice, helpful and had the most awesome smile. Ā Made me smile during a very stressful move!"
"Iāve been storing here for over a year and havenāt had a single complaint. The management is really helpful and knowledgeable and not just trying to hurry to get me out the building. I seriously recommend this is the place."
"Oh man, lifeās been super stressful (2020 am I right geez?) with all the moving, transferring, house hunting and planning on top of all these new cdc rules. The easiest thing Iāve done all year is getting a spot here! Benny helped me out tremendously, his customer service was A1, and Iām glad I got taken care of by him. The process was extremely smooth and easy! Painless! We need more people like him behind counters/help desks! Life storage rules!"
"Since Iāve been here Iāv had nothing but great service. I know my property is safe and secure and would recommend this Life Storage to anyone. 5 out of 5 all day!"

"I've only had my storage since the end of January. I lost my job early March and no way to pay my storage. I called and spoke to manager, Monica, about late fee on my account today. Explained that I had lost my job and was just now able to make payment. I asked if she would would PLEASE waive late fee. Her response, NO! Monica told me that the company wasn't waiting late fees. I explained to her, again, the situation of the country and she refused to remove the fees. I paid my storage, but I'll be moving my stuff out ASAP! RUDE! UNHELPFUL! And I genuinely believe that she enjoyed being a total rude bitch towards me!"

Benny the store manager was amazing, knowledgeable and very professional! Thanks Benny!!"

"Omg! The first place I've been to that manager is so cheerful willing to walk me down and showed me the property. By the way it was pretty well maintained I was surprised of how clean it was. Loved how this property offered multiple storage, like office warehouse, inside and outside, and even climate control storages. Monica was amazing and was very easy to talk to, and left there with all my questions answered."
"Walked in to acquire prices and storage availability and was properly greeted with joy. Was surprised of the cleanliness the whole facility. Looks like a place that I would love to storage my items.

"The representative working the front desk was very helpful oh, and very professional. She answered all my questions her thoroughly and was very, accomodating to find me the unit that was perfect for me. It is also very convenient that they offer packaging materials to be purchased from their Lobby. The prices could stand to be a little cheaper but, it didn't stop me from buying them"
"This location has an Excellent staff that helps the customers to their fullest potential.Not so long ago our keys fell through the small elevator doors and Ms.Monica Ochoa was very helpful in helping us retain our house keys.
