"I wish I could give this 5 stars but the construction that is going on there is quite frustrating. My unit is closer to the front and I have to squeeze and figure out how to maneuver around all of their work vehicles. It makes it really inconvenient for the people renting out spaces on that side. If I would have known about how bad the construction was I probably would have went to a different location to rent. But the four stars definitely go to Ms Liz. She is so friendly and she knows her job well. She was able to recommend all the supplies needed and gave great advice on the best things to do when storing your belongings. The storage unit itself was clean and looked well kept. Easy and contact free check in was perfect for me."
"Great reliable service made my move way easier as military personnel I highly recommend this place for easy affordable service with jumping between states!"
"Friendly staff! The lady (wish I knew her name!) was extremely helpful! She went out of her way to help me with closing out my storage and she really cared about helping me to avoid unnecessary charges. Most places treat you like a number and would gladly add on extra fees. Not here. Much appreciated!"
"Liz is a great manager. She has always been accommodating with last minute storage need! It is a pleasure to rent space at Life Storage on J Clyde Morris Blvd. I will definitely be back!"
"Ms. Liz made my time there at life storage so smooth. She was very respectful and patient with me. She made such a stressful time in my life easier. I will definitely recommend Life Storage J. Clyde Morris Blvd. šš¤"

"Deducted 1 star for each item, First, they wouldn't allow me to store my mounted deer at their facility (its dead people, no live tissue, just a manikin) secondly the road going into the pplace is absolutely horrible. I realize that it may not be their issue, but it is the only way in and it's full of water and potholes the size of a small car. Take some of that money and put some asphault down for crying out loud. Mainly I'm just salty about not allowing my deer mounts, Price is fair and the place appears to be pretty clean."
"Liz is phenomenal! She knows her job very well is extremely thorough. She made sure that we were taken care of and gave us all the information we needed to be successful with our transition. Liz, you are like family to us and we wish you all the best!"
"My cars been here in storage since 2017 and since Liz gave me the details on all I need to do for long term storage ..all 3 times I came down my car started every time with not one issue THANKS TO LIZ!! and it was safe and secure no break ins or stolen goods!! Liz has the best customer service this place is the best in Hampton roads!!!"
"Liz was extremely helpful from the start and remain helpful until the end. I only used the storage for a short time but every time I had a question Liz was available with the answer. I give her a perfect score when it comes to customer service. Neat, clean, accessible is how I describe the facility."
"This place is awesome!! Liz has been a pleasure to work with! She has made the process so easy for me during this stressful time. You guys are greatly appreciated! 10/10!"
"Has anyone realize that they keep raising prices even on the pandemic situation, people still homeless, jobless, many like me didnāt even have enough credit to get unemployment. Every year and Iāve been with this location since I move from Florida, is been three years and I started around $47 and now I just have the kindly notice that I have to pay $65 for a so small space that is not even climate controlled. The minimum wage still the same and they have the great Idea to raise more. If I knew this I wouldnāt have ever give a 5 stars the day I signed up, cause that was the only thing the person who attended me was anxious about getting a great review. That maybe forgot to tell me this little detail of raising prices out of the sudden... I regret entirely the previous review."
"Stephanie at Life Storage in Kiln Creek was the absolute best! She showed us storage spaces to meet our needs and made sure we had everything to get started. She was attentive and available in every way! Thank you for making it a pleasant experience for us!"
"Miss Liz was absolutely fabulous! She helped us every step of the way! She was nice on the phone and even nicer in person! You are very lucky to have her as a staff! You need to duplicate her 100%!"

I never once worried about my RV on their lot. Worth.every.penny."
"Love how clean the Office and storage units is as well as outside the units. The office manager is very polite and the prices are reasonable. Would recommend if looking for a safe clean storage unit !"

This is my 3rd storage place I've relocated my stuff to since I moved and Im confident I won't be moving it again, regardless of getting a free month somwhere else. It's really a relief! Thanks Liz!

"Lorlean Gusman helped me today. What an amazing woman. She made my day she was so inviting and helpful. A serious professional. It wasnt just another sales person she took an interest in how my day was and just made me feel like a friend rather than just another unit to close on. Thank you so much. I highly recommend this location. The units are well taken care of clean easy access and tucked away from busy streets so no worries about slow pull in or out to not damage your property."
"Wow !! What a pleasure working with Liz...such a true professional in every way. Thanks to her, she made the whole process so easy & pleasant...she's a real gem!"

"Ms. Liz was so professional and her environment was so clean and well kept. I have never been in an environment with someone with so much hospitality and such a caring spirit. Ms. Liz makes sure that you are comfortable, you understand and if you dont understand she makes sure you do before you sign anything. I would definitely refer everyone to this storage location."
"We have been renting at this location for approximately 17 years. We started renting here when it was Uncle Bobs self storage. We decided to stay because of the excellent customer service that is demonstrated by the management. Miss Liz Guzman shows excellent customer service every time that we come in. We see that Liz goes above and beyond to satisfy all of the customers. She has always communicated very effectively with us , explaining the benefits and pros of staying with Life Storage. Not to mention that the website makes it very convenient to service and make payments on our account. We are very very happy with this company. Because of this we would definitely refer this storage facility to anyone that we know who is in need of a storage area."
"Liz was very helpful, extremely patient & nice. Very personable & customer oriented. I feel confident having my things stored there
Thanks again
Diane"
"Loved the experience Ive had hear! Very honest and knowledgeable! I always recommend this to anyone I hear moving great people and Liz especially is awesome."
"I gave this location 5 stars only because of Liz the store manger. I wasnt too happy with the over the phone registration process because I was given incorrect information. And I wasnt happy with the fact that the online, in-store and over the phone all had different prices and promotions and because of where I reserved at I wasnt able to get the promotion. But Liz was so helpful and knowledgeable. Im glad I chose this location. Thank Liz for your 5 stars Life Storage. Shes someone you definitely need on the team because i was very close to canceling my registration. Thanks Liz..."
"Whenever there is something wrong with my mothers account, Liz is so pleasant and helpful, very professional, on the phone. My mother has a storage unit here and had the bill for the storage unit paid automatically through her bank. Mom was diagnosed with Dementia in 2014 and I took over handling her bills. Since this was paid automatically, I did not worry about it being paid. When the bill increased I did not know and when Liz called, she was very professional and I was able to pay the difference owed with no problems and then I fixed the auto payments at the bank. Yesterday, June 5, 2019, Liz left a message saying I was $10 short and if I called that day and paid there would be no late fee. I was not able to get in touch with Liz until the next morning, June 6th. Liz was apologetic that I would have to pay the $25 late fee when I was the one at fault. I am still trying to find out why the automatic payment changed the amount to Life Storage, but it will be fixed. Since taking over my mothers bills, I have found Liz at Life Storage to be very professional. It is rare to find an employee who knows her job and is pleasant and helpful when letting people know they havent fulfilled their financial obligations. Most people would be arrogant and talk down to you. I cannot emphasizes enough how professional Liz presents herself and how knowledge she is about her job. She was able to walk me through the website so I could enter my email address so I could get notification if things go wrong with the account. Thank you Liz. Vivian A., unit 85."
"Very clean and well lit facility. The storage unit prices are competitively priced. The management is very friendly and professional. Prices are competitive. I had two units here when it was Uncle Bob's, which was nice back then, but the current owner has made more improvements."
"Facility is very clean. Super nice and professional staff at this facility - Liz is Exceptional! Very responsive to your requests and needs. Better than 5 stats!"
"I love Ms.Guzman she was very helpful as well as informative about the property and polices, Most definitely Needs a raise to at least 22$ an hr she is doing more than an amazing job"
"Management is easy to work with,pleasant and professional. This is the first time I have used a strorage facility and I am very pleased with this experience."
"Liz was a great help today. She made sure all my needs were met. Very helpful, kind, and has excellent customer service skills! Will definitely recommend this storage facility to family and friends. Thanks Liz for all your help today!"
"PLEASE TAKE CAUTION When using their free truck . I have driven many Uhaul like vehicles in many different whether conditions including a tractor trailer in the mountains at night in the rain. This vehicle felt unsafe. I started to skid while driving the truck just a very short distance in the rain. There was more than a foot of play in the steering wheel. I brought it back in less than a 1/2 mile and was charged for liability insurance, which I had a copy of with me of my own but they did not accept. An employee drove the truck after and said it was fine, however no third party unbiased opinion was given. NOT FREE. NOT SAFE."
"Good prices for storage units and the employees have been friendly every time I've been there. Cameras and other security features give me piece of mind that my stored items are safe."
