"Shelley took her time with us to figure out what size we needed and to address all our questions. She stayed in touch with us to make sure we got the unit size we needed and held the lower price for us until we were able to come in and sign the lease. She probably saved us $200 to $400! Shelley followed up with us as well, so we felt very taken care of."
"If you are looking for a great storage facility in The Woodlands, Life Storage on Panther Creek Pines is your place. Shelley is fantastic, helping you with any of your storage needs!"

"We needed to find the last minute option to unload our container and this was the one that came in our google search. As we entered and met Shelly, I knew I don't have to look further. She just took away all the stress we were having with this last minute situation and made everything work for us. An amazing customer service she provides and an awesome person she is that is no match to anything. Being new to the area with a preteen and an infant in the tug, you helped us out of your way. We love you Shelly for welcoming us with your warm gesture and helpful nature. We are so touched, we didn't just did the business with you but also found a great friend in you. Keep it up. Anyone looking for the storage, don't look beyond if Shelly has the place, just go for it."

I am now needing to store some belongings and so I filled out a reservation online. Within 5 minutes of making my reservation, Shelly called me and personally introduced herself, explain some things, and ask if I had any questions. She was willing to work with me on my move in-date (which I honestly wasn't expecting!). I would definitely recommend this place!"

"Shelly is amazing. I wanted a smaller storage space for some valuable pieces but kept holding off. Shelly called me without pressuring me just letting me know she had a space come up for me. After two months of me not responding, she still called me to let me know a new space had come up for me. Talk about 100% customer service and amazing follow-up. Shelly is the reason why I will only work with Life Storage of The Woodlands."

Clean, easy to access and super easy to deal with. Thanks for the great service while our family’s items were here."

Thanks so much Shelley, you are worth more than 5 stars!"
"Reasonable rates helpful staff. Dry and cooled spaces with flat bed carts available to use, elevators and ample lighting. I have been using this location for over 5 years."
"I just checked out of my storage space today after having to rent it for two years coming out of a difficult divorce. Any time I’ve ever needed any help or have questions, Shelley has always been at the front desk, always ready to help and always so friendly. My experience with self storage in the past was very different… which Usually included a cranky person at the front desk who’s half asleep and doesn’t really seem to want to help. Shelley takes ownership of her position and treats people with respect and kindness.
She even helped me cut my lock away when I lost keys to my storage unit. You’re company is very blessed to have her on staff! Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Shannon Pinkerton"

Initially Shelley assisted me with storage during a difficult time after my Mother’s passing.

Thank you very much!"

With that being said, I was extremely please with how well I was treated and how amazing there customer service was. Miss Amy was the sweet bubbly lady helping me at the front desk. She was able to multitask like nobodys business.. While she was helping me out, she answered each call right away and was still able to greet each person that came in with out delay. Keeping a smile on her face and always making eye contact with each person she greeted. Saying good-afternoon! how are you? Please let me know if you need anything!
Even though there was a tiny issue with my account
Miss Amy had no problem quickly fixing it."
"We have always been extremely pleased with the level of service we receive from Life Storage. Today was a good example of how issues are handled, we were notified that our lock was not placed on our storage door properly and being out of town, the staff was able to work with our daughter in law to assist in cutting the old lock and placing a new one on door. This was very rewarding as there was no way to our storage being 3 hrs away."

Thank you!"

"Shelley really went above and beyond to help me out. I was on a short time crunch to get my stuff into the unit and get it unloaded and we had to switch units last minute because of the sizes I ended up needing and she made a very stressful time for me very easy. She even showed up early on Saturday before she was even supposed to be at work, to come unlock the doors and the unit for us. I can't thank her enough for all her help!!"

"Yes, was supposed to get a credit for 1/2 months rental. I moved out on the 12th of June. Shelley assured me that I would get a credit for 1/2 month rental. Have not seen it on my charge card."
"I had a very professional experience with my choice. I had many other area storage facilities to choose from, but I went with this storage facility because they were very attentive to my needs and followed up promptly after my first initial visit. I am happy I am using this facility."
"Facility and local personnel are just fine; HOWEVER, these yearly rate increases are just outrageous. I have been with you for many years and have 2 storage units, the cost of which was originally fair. Now they are, in my opinion, overpriced. With the next price increase, you will lose me as a customer."
"The manager at Woodlands, TX #397, Shelley, is outstanding...exceptionally helpful, pleasant, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs and requests. We appreciate her excellent management and customer service. "
"Would have been better to have had more loading/unloading space where you could use dolly. Sometimes had to wait for someone to move their car or truck so that we could get up to loading area. "
