"This is a great facility for my needs. I've had a unit there in the past and now during the last year. And a conditioned space just came available and I'll be moving into that. Kelley Temple did an awesome job to help me today with a minor problem in my unit and during our discussion I discovered an available unit in the conditioned space that I've wanted.

"Kelley is a great asset for Life Storage. Her customer service is second to none. She has quickly learned how to operate and maintain her assigned facility and operational software. Life storage is fortunate to have such a team member as they are becoming harder to find. I hope you appreciate what you have in Kelley. Now, if your software allowed me to put all my lockers under one log in account, I would be complete."
"Kelly is absolutely amazing! I've been renting a space here since 2015 and out of everyone I've dealt with over the years she has been the absolute best. She addressed all of my needs and helped me figure out what would work because for me. She is a real asset to your company. Thank you Kelly!!"

Found this place and what a difference! Very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable! Clean storage units, lots of different sizes, secured, cameras, alarms! Great location!!! Thank you Kelley!"
"This Chesapeake Virginia Volvo parkway location is excellent! Associate Kelly was phenomenal and assisting us with obtaining our storage unit. We had some pretty bad experiences with another Chesapeake Virginia location. So we decided to try here, and Kelly didn't disappoint. Thank you!"

"It was a rainy day last Wednesday when I stopped at the Chesapeake location to rent a unit. The young lady behind the desk
name was Kelley. She was very informative and took her time explaining everything and she even offered me her coat to wear because it was raining. it is rare these days to find such good and caring customer service. Thank you Kelley!"
"I like the place, but I wish the military discount was easier. I understand that the member must be active duty, but my spouse ID should suffice. Other than that, Kelly was great."

"Hey y'all I just went to life storage today to rent a unit (10×20) to be exact. The 2 young ladies that served me are fantastic! They gave me their undivided attention. They answered all my questions. And they shared their water and freeze pops with me and my grand daughter's.
Come on by and check them out. The storage is climate control...we need that in this here Virginia heat. Brianna and Kelley you Ladies awesome!
JE"
"Finally emptied out the entire thing. Not full of junk like others, with old sofas, end tables, broken high chairs and grandmas dentures. Usable items that now have their place."
"Brionna is the best! She helped me very quickly and made the process very easy. She was very thorough and thoughtful. Life storage has the best rates right now. I'm hoping it stays that way. And no serious increases please🙏🏾"
"3/17/2022 I, Alfred Speller, went to Life Storage and rented a unit. Bri was very helpful and friendly. She is a "positive" on your business. Thank you very much, Alfred "Rod" Speller. (had to use someone's computer to do this)"
"This place literally came in clutch for moving! We had a unit at another place, but there was another mover who had a 24ft truck and was blocking the only entrance. We had to find another storage unit and this place came to the rescue! The front lady was a blast to talk to and she explained everything for the expectations for the unit. The best part is we can actually get into the unit without the truck blocking the entrance. Thank you guys again!!"
"Brianna is incredibly helpful and responsive to any questions or changes you need to make. Outstanding customer service. Facility is well kept, clean and easy to navigate. Would highly recommend."
"As soon as I entered the office I was greeted with such professionalism by Brionna, I would definitely use them again and recommend them for storage needs."
"The front desk has been amazing. She has exceeded in helping me with everything. This has been one of my best experiences while searching for a storage unit. She has been an on time person and a great person to have with the company. If I could her recruit her for my company I would. Be blessed and keep up the good work."
"I ended up not renting the unit because the door was too small but Brionna was super helpful letting me measure the unit, looking for other facilities with adequate storage area and providing the best customer support I’ve seen around. Hopefully a unit will become available soon!"
"No one will answer the phone at this location. They take random lunch breaks and hang a sign on the door. I have been trying to close out my account for 2 weeks and no one is here."
"This is a top notch storage place. For the most part, storage is storage. But this place always looks clean and safe.
My family has had a unit here for years. The staff has always been extremely friendly and courteous. Bri in particular has been great. Very professional yet warm and welcoming. She’s very knowledgeable about what services we were looking for would fit our needs.
Thanks for the years of service."
"Nice place to store your "stuff" storage range in price. The staff is extremely helpful and nice. Never had issues or problems. Always clean, neat, and tidy."
"Convenient location. Cameras for security, staff present and acknowledges you when on property. Will recommend this company and location to family and friends."
"I love this place. I stored furniture and boxes in a controlled temp storage unit for 5 years. Staff was competent and helpful. Unit was clean and bug free. Thank you Life Storage (formerly Uncle Bob’s storage.)"
"My rating is 0 but they're making me put at least 1. My cousin was there for years with no issue until new management took over. Started when he asked them to add a unit to auto pay. They didnt do that, then locked him out of the unit for failure to pay then charged a late fee. They dont call you if there are problems with the unit (i.e. glitch due to system error). Most they do is put a note on your unit (unprotected from weather). Hopefully you can catch 1 of the lazy staff members there IF the office is open. AGAIN THEY WILL LOCK YOU OUT for any problem with no phone call or anything other than a note on the unit door."
"Amanda was extremely helpful with helping me procure an additional storage unit. We were playing phone tag for a couple of days, but when I got to the location it felt like we'd known each other for years. I highly recommend Life Storage."
"I loved this place and everything about it! Amber was beyond nice and made sure she explained everything about the rental space. I would recommend this place to anyone! THANKS AMBER!!!"
"Jayson was fantastic and very helpful. He followed through with what he said he would do as far as replacing the lightbulb and his customer service was excellent."
"I highly recommend Life Storage on Volvo Parkway. Liz was extremely helpful in moving me to a larger unit. The service has always been excellent, and the facility is very secure and well maintained."
"I had visited 3-4 storage companies in which many were too pricey, hidden fees, horrible storage policies, etc. Then I found Life Storage who had great prices, storage policy, and NO hidden fees. Also, they have rental truck for usage. Free the first and then you pay a small fee which I found extremely cheaper than any other rental companies. Lastly, their team (Brad, Jon, and Lizz) provides exceptional customer service, very down to earth, and are outstanding professionals! I was so pleased that I immediately recommended Life Storage to my cousin in which she joined and is very pleased as a new customer too!"
"Good service. Campostella sent me here and they could not accommodate the parking size I needed. The manager Brad also runs
Hickory location. I went there and was able to get what I needed."
"Very happy with everything. I was able to meet the manager and he was very customer service oriented (friendly) and left me with a good impression of this place. The assistant was also helpful in ensuring I had 24.hrs in moving in so I didn't get locked in. The place is locked,clean, they provide a lock at no cost. Would not recommend any place else for your items!"
"Brad was exceptional, extremely helpful and friendly! I am so happy to store my stuff at Life Storage and I am definitely going to use them in the future.

#bestcustomerserviceever"
"Manager called and said our postmark was one day late, and was very nasty and a real jerk, wanted the late charge payment immediately, even though they forgot to send us the billing notification. I will never use them"
"Brad was a consummate professional, took me on a tour of the facility and explained the entire process for renting, entering and leaving the facility and also going into my termination of the rental unit. Also did my own due diligence and "Life Storage" beat ALL other sites for unit size, climate control, etc. in regards to PRICE. EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!!!"
"12/07/18
The people here are very friendly; I promised to do a review last month when I went in to pay my bill and kept forgetting. The lady in the office was so nice that day; also everytime I have called the place with questions. Great people skills here."
"I have been here for months and mr lennny has worked for me since I been deployed and came back and still has helped me with everything great customer service"
"We signed up for a storage unit Saturday 9/8/18 on Volvo Parkway in Chesapeake, VA. Dale the manager was exceptional. She showed us several options for storage units, thoroughly walked us through the paperwork and explained everything in great detail so we understood exactly the terms. She was such a tremendous help through the entire process. I would give her 10-Stars if I could. Great Service!! Highly recommend this location.
The storage units were clean, well-maintained with security cameras and gate only access. Highly recommend this location.
Scott C."
"We have rented several storage units over the years and Life Storage far exceeds any that we have ever used. Very clean, professional staff, user friendly website and payment process. We have already highly recommended Life Storage to several friends and family."
"The tour, how genuinely nice the lady was who helped me. She understood my situation and was more than willing to assist me in any way she could to ensure I was taken care of and my needs were met with my storage situation. Grounds are very nice, security seems to be on point. I am comfortable being on deployment with my life, essentially, being in your storage facility."
"I filled out the pre-reservation online and was promised that my registration fee would be waived, and it was. No surprises, very straight forward and as advertised. I appreciated that. "
"I will certainly consider Uncle Bob's for any future storage needs I may have. Definitely a hassle free process, which I greatly appreciated. All employees I interacted with were great!"
"We were an unusual customer in that we are a not-for profit and running a fund raising program to help our community. Your staff was so supportive that one member (Dale) volunteered some off work time!"
"We went to store #137 Laurie and Donna were EXTREMELY helpful. They went over and above to accommodate our needs. After conveying our concerns about their location, they referred us to Store #158 where Dale continued the hospitality. So far, we are very happy with the services we have received."
"Very professional both Lennie and Dale.
Dale even helped me by telling me about an apt that was available as well as a name of a contact person .
This was very helpful information as well as it was deeply appreciated."
"Your site manager was incredible and so thorough. She told us she was moving out of state to manage a new facility and we were so sad that we only had her for a short time. Amazingly well run! We really feel our stuff is safe. "
"I chose store #158 because of the manner in which I was treated. The facility was further than I wanted to travel for storage but my conversations prior to the rental of the unit sealed the deal. My first call for information was handled and all questions answered in the most professional way and just had me wanting to rent a unit there and no where else. Feel like our stuff is safe and secure and I really like the location."
"Hope was always glad to see me and always had a smile on her face. She'd offer water whenever I was there during business hours. She always listened to my questions and if she didn't know the answer, she said so and got back to me with an answer after she researched her sources. I was very impressed with her.
With the winter months coming up, I think your jackets should be offered to your customers. I asked about getting one and Hope said they were only for employees, I would really like one and would wear it proudly."
"Lenny at the Volvo Pkwy facility was exceptionally helpful when I forgot to update my credit card information when my card on file was comprised and replaced by CitiCards. He personally called me to get my new card number and then again when I vacated the unit. He was always professional and showed great knowledge in the system."
"I needed a unit, and the first two came with an incentive, but the process to rent took too long......on all occasions......seemed too computer intensive"
"We were very pleased because of the manager who took us through each step. She also was honest with us regarding other opportunities. Her integrity was very important to us."
"It is so good to walk in to a place of business and be greeted with such professionalism and courtesy, the associates at uncle bobs on volvo parkway have such great customer service!! On one occasion I called 30 seconds before closing and needed to pay my bill. The associate that helped me on the phone didn't seem to give an attitude at all. I'm sure he had many other things to do for daily closing rituals. Not only did he help me pay my bill, but he also walked me through setting up an online account which makes things much easier for me. And as far as the rest of the men and women that work at that establishment, TOP KNOTCH!! the grounds are clean and I always feel safe with the security cameras when having to work in and out of my storage unit after dark. Many thanks and salutations uncle bob!"
"Your customer service is excellent compared to the other two companies I visited. Also, your facilities are impressive (but pricey).....although one of your competitors had impressive units, they were pricey and had horrible customer service. "
"The emergency phone number on the sign under the keypad that unlocks the gate is the same as the office number. This makes NO sense. If I call this number after hours no one answers it. There should be a designated after hours number that someone will answer.."
