"Just purchased my storage unit 2 weeks ago and it got broken into. Sad part is that no one would have noticed because behind my storage unit faces the field behind it so they broke into the back of the empty one next to it and broke the side panel in between my unit and the empty one. So no broken lock this was done internally. Reported it to life storage emergency line an made a police report with Bexar county sheriff. Bexar County Sheriff mentioned they had been stealing things from the cars that are parked in the back. So be cautious. Going to reach out to the insurance and speak to the office to see what is to be done now. I got a storage unit temporarily till I got my new place you can only imagine the stuff they took. Tools electronics stuff clothes shoes etc. I’m really saddened by this. I’m gonna have to say I don’t recommend that you get a unit will the field behind or where they have don’t cameras would be accessible."
"We relocated from another Life Storage to this location. Claudia, the "Superwoman," was very thorough and attentive from day one. Her professionalism was dynamic. She was courteous, positive, and went above and beyond to assist us."
"Claudia gives excellent customer service she has really been great to me as a customer. I appreciate the calls I get reminding me of my payment it helps me out greatly. I can honestly say the experience of having my belongings at life storage has given me a peaceful mind set knowing that my family's belongings are in good hands. Overall experience with customer service agent Claudia is excellent. Thank you"
"Claudia was extremely helpful and friendly, followed up with us, and showed us our unit. Made the process very easy and smooth, plus was very friendly. Would recommened!✨️"
"I rented two storage units for 8 months, and never had issues.
The manager, Claudia, was always a pleasure to work with and sweet!
Her assistant, which I forgot her name, once, called me to let me know that I did not properly closed my lock and she took care of it!
Also very hardworking and a pleasure to work with!
Over all very satisfied!"
"To the manager: Thank you, for your eagerness and civility approach. You are awesome, and the recent events are not your fault.
To the other tenants: this manager is doing the best she can. It's your responsibility to get a good lock and it's your responsibility to purchase insurance. Y'all need to grow up and act like adults."
"The letter is in reference to The Life Storage Manager Claudia.
Ms. Claudia has been the consummate professional from day one. She has shown me Respect, Empathy, Honor, and Consistency. I have the greatest amount of Gratitude for the way she has consistently treated me. I have maintained a storage at this location for the past ten years and she is the reason why. She is an Outstanding representative of the Life Storage core values. I wish her great success in her future with Life Storage.
Thank You

"The two people that help me there today were so helpful they should be commended for their service jeff and the lady that couldn't remember her name was so nice great group of people"
"Upon making my reservation and moving my stuff in, everything went great. Then a couple months later, my unit and others got broken into - I was never told that certain locks were better than others and I wasn't given any free service to make up for the stress I experienced. I tried to contact the store the moment I heard want happened, the office was closed and the emergency line wasn't helpful. I plan on moving my stuff out shortly."
"Claudia is very knowledgeable about the services here at life storage! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to obtain services. She was able to assist me in viewing the storage facility with ease and gave great suggestions on how to pack your home."
"Went to pick up a donated item. Pretty nice facility. I had no interaction with any staff, so can't comment about that. Alleyways were like a rollercoaster."
"I had a great awesome experience with Claudia . She goes that extra mile for her customers l haven’t had a person so helpful like her lately.god bless you Claudia !"
"Excellent customer service from
Claudia. She was very helpful on helping us pick the right storage size for our belongings and the best deal they had."
"Sierra at the 10260 marbach location was extremely polite and helpful and guided me the entire process! She helped me find the perfect storage that fits my needs and made sure I got the best price! Will definitely use life storage again!"
"Thank you Claudia!
I park my work vehicle here and the gate was not opening at 6am, luckily Claudia responded in a timely manner and had the gate open by 7 30am, i was able to make my deliveries on-time instead of it being a costly day for me, happy camper!"
"Our travel trailer was stolen from this location after having been parked there for less than a week. Poor security if you’re looking to park anything of value."
"Great storage place to keep your stuff safe. Been here 2 years and recently transferred over to a smaller unit at a great price. My experience has been great here so far so good and my transfer was a easy move and with the help of Sierra a staff member here at life storag things went even smoother. She was so friendly and very informative answered all my questions and concerns about my transfer even went the extra mile to show me the unit. Sierra always greets you with a smile and a friendly hand wave. So thank you Sierra and thank you life storage for keeping my stuff safe..."
"Went by earlier this week to possibly get a unit as I had spoken earlier to an itiul and we'll to my surprise when I walk thru the door her flippin phone seems to be the customer cuz I dont think she even noticed me walk in!!!
I walked right out without making a beep and well storage mart around the block does seem to be attentive to their customers so I put my money where it makes me feel valued! :D"
"Great place. I needed parking for my truck..Nicole was extraordinary..She went the extra miles.. measuring the length and width of my vehicle, to ensure that the truck would fit..She is really special, and seem to genuinely care about her customers.. Thanks Nicole"
"I got my travel trailer stolen !! Cameras dont work in the back. Not recommended to park your property!! Staff is good. Just needs more security and Strict strict rules."
"This is my first ever review but I felt the need to give one because in a world where people just check the block it is very refreshing to find an employee that is willing to go above and beyond. mrs margret is absolutely the nicest and friendliest person you will meet. I rented a unit here about 2 or 3 months ago and evey time I return she is so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I recently got a divorce and had to rent another unit and when I called to check availability she was emphatic and gave me an air hug ( corona) and I appreciate that its not just custom service she provides she provides a customer experience that makes know that your stored items will be safe"
"Life storage is great when having to store my items. Space is great and staff is always friendly. Only suggestion would be two different payments dates a month. It would be great to have that option."
"Rented a storage today and the young lady who helped us was more than just helpful. Definitely went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly."
"Great place for storing your belongings. The best this place has to offer is the amazing Claudia! I've been there for roughly 5 years and she's always there for you, with a smile."
"Claudia provided great customer service! She was attentive to my storage needs and assisted me in deciding the exact size of storage I needed. She provided follow up phone calls to verify their service was continually meeting expectations. Moving is stressful in general, thank you Claudia for taking some of that stress from my family!"
"They have a great staff at this location. Claudia and Margaret have always been courteous and helpful. Claudia even helped me with a canopy I was struggling to set up on a hot August afternoon.
Ive rented for almost 5 years and have never had any trouble except for rat droppings on the floor. No damage was done to my items.
Because of the demand for units, the prices are a little higher than other locations. I recently moved into a smaller unit and the transition was quick and easy. I will rent here until I no longer need a storage unit."
"I'm Extremely satisfied with my visit today! = Claudia was very helpful, very nice, and a joy to chat with while working on getting my unit. She was also patient with my indecisiveness, which drives even my own family crazy. The facilities are really nice, it's in a very safe location, and I love knowing they took all the precautions to prevent flooding. There's also camera's everywhere and the gate code is different for each person. I feel my things are safe and secure in my climate controlled unit. >p"
"I use life storage to store all my extra teaching supplies that Im not currently using and to store everything during the summer...I recently had to do a transfer to a larger space because Ive gained so much stuff throughout the year and the transfer process was so easy! And they made every effort to make sure my new space as close to my previous space as possible!"
"I feel like I am part of a family. The store and staff always consider my well being and are very kind and considerate. I can't ask for more while they take care of my things. They make me feel like family. In this day and age we are living in, that to me, is priceless!! Don't change a thing. In fact, maybe other stores should model my store. "
"Claudia. She a perfect fit for this business. Very professional and the kindest person you can every meet. And the other staff good people as well. Thank you! "
"Loved the use of the truck. We have stored with others before, but we have never had such exceptional service. Thank you, your customer service has made us lifetime customer."
"I loved the Manager to the location off of Marbach (Close to Pue Rd.) San Antonio. She made sure I received a truck even though they were booked. She also helped me with the best priced unit for the amount of time I needed it for. Thank you. "
"Uncle Bob's is perfect for what I needed. The property is well maintained and the employees are polite and professional. Overall great storage facility."
"The personnel were very friendly and professional. They knew their job and were very helpful. I was very satisfied with my unit ans overall experience with Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]. I would definitely recommend and use your services again. Thank you"
"At the location on Marbach, closest to 1604 is where I have my storage. The girl Claudia is always there and so nice and helpful. Even when I have not been so timely with my payments, always willing to make arrangements. She has great customer service and always very polite!"
"I was irritated with all the extra fees at the last minute, and that I was told the process would take 30 mins but was stuck there over an hour. I felt this was unnecessary. "
"Claudia is a jewel. Dont lose her. Her cistomer service is beyond excellent. helps even when to not help would be totally reasonable. Goes the mile and a then a half."
"I have had bad past experiences at other storage units and Uncle Bob's Storage definitely changed that for me. I will always go back and refer friends and family. They were courteous in some situations about my payment. If it wasn't for a friendly reminder phone call I would have been late but they went above and beyond to reach out to me to let me know my payment hasn't been made due to a new debit card. So I thank them for that. "
