Customer Reviews - Life Storage #881, Milwaukee
We at Life Storage want to maintain the best storage facilities in Milwaukee, and in every city where we do business.
Take a look at all the good things our customers say about this Life Storage, and all of our stores! It thrills us to give customers the best customer service possible, and to hear when they are pleased with how we have taken care of their storage needs.
"Thank You, SHAUN!
You are most definitely are the best self storage consultant that I have talked to. You answered all my questions about sizes in units, prices , specials or promotions you may have.
Again. Â A BIG THANK YOU SHAUN."
"Raquel is the best! Super knowledgeable, helpful, and so nice. She manages the traffic at this busy location extremely well to make sure everyone is having the best experience possible."
"Raquel was extremely professional and helpful in my experience with Life Storage. I got to the store and found that the location and unit ultimately wouldn't work because of the size of my moving truck (the garage is 12 ft tall and my company's truck is over 13 ft). She easily and quickly got me transferred to the 8th street location. To me, that speaks volumes that even when she couldn't find a solution at her location, she was willing to go the extra mile to help me find something else. The 8th street location was just as clean and well managed as the St. Paul location. Thank you Life Storage!"
"Raquel took ample time to upgrade my locker size and even remembered me from 2 months prior. She even offered to search out a cart when none were available."
"After Uhaul didn't have the units available that they claim they did... in fact they had none at all, the lady on the phone from lifestorage helped me out in 2-3 mins and the dude at the St. Paul location was super helpful. The day before memorial day, on a Sunday it took like 15-20 minutes to figure out which locker size worked best and have everything signed and official. In short... @)*$ uhaul."
"All the representatives I spoke to over the phone were so helpful. They immediately called back and gave me all the details I needed. I met Elton in person. Such a kind person with a wonderful smile. We were very impressed with the drive-in service and the ease of renting a space. Thank you for all your help!"
"Elton was a god send when I first arrived to the storage unit. He helped me with every thing I needed and was extremely patient with me. I don't know what he is getting paid but its not enough. He went above and beyond to help me when I was really stressed out and trying to get everything set up. Thanks again Elton you deserve a raise. Also the place immaculate and I feel secured in storing my items here. in conclusion  If you are looking for great service and well kept storge units go no further."
"Elton was extremely helpful & informative in helping me one my new storage unite and gave me all the details needed as a true professional- would definitely recommend this storage unit over all the others"
"Elton is a wonderful person, he helped me with everything, walked me threw, made sure I knew where these was.... I really enjoyed my experience at life storage"
"Elton was extremely helpful and so kind, this was my first time moving and he took a lot of stress off my shoulders helping me find the right size storage unit for me and even stayed an hour after close to help!"
"Greats customer service, Elton is very helpful. However I can’t give five stars because the unit prices go up quite a bit after you have rented for some time. This is a great place if you are looking for a short-term storage solution, but would not recommend Lifestorage if you want to keep a unit over a year."
"Elton was very helpful when my daughter and I needed to upgrade an existing storage unit in Milwaukee on 4/14/22. Â It turned out that we needed a larger storage unit than previously discussed with Raquel (Store Manager) prior to my travel to Milwaukee. Â Raquel was ill on 4/14/22 and had briefed Elton to do the transfer in her absence. Â He searched for a larger storage units and showed us at least 4 units of various sizes. Â He was very patient going back and forth showing us each unit and then return to the office using the computer to search for another unit.
We finally found a larger unit and completed the transfer on the same day as I need to return to California the following day. Â Later we found out that Elton is a new employee who has been on the job for about 2 weeks. Â Kudos to Elton for his excellent customer service!"
"I had some misunderstanding before today about charges that accrued on my bill. But the Life storage worker Elton explain everything to me in detail and answered all my questions and remain patient with me the whole time."
"Excellent and friendly service from Elton!
He was helpful and knowledgeable! He went to extra lengths yo get me the needed moving materials I wanted!!!
Raquel too got us all signed up efficiently!"
"I had a great experience with Elton and my lord have I dealt with such rude people in the past , he was very helpful and very patient with me I was having a bad day and may have been a little frustrated but he made surest my experience as a customer was great! Thanks again"
"My experience with Life Storage Elton was very helpful with showing my unit an processing my order. I appreciate the professionalism from him so many people are rude these days."
"Brittany was so helpful, efficient and friendly getting our transfer done today. It was a pleasure doing business with her!
She's a real asset to the Life Storage team."
"Clean, appears very secure, drive-in secure, weather proof space made unloading painless. Initial registration a bit tricky but likely adds to security."
"I cannot recommend this location as it seems they are never open. Every time I go there is a sign saying "be back at ..." but when I return at that time, the sign has again changed to say they will be back at a later time. I have tried 5 times now over the past 2 weeks. If staff shortages are the issue, they should just change the hours to reflect when they will actually be open."
"Have previously reviewed - this is an update. I have reported lights not working on the 2nd floor. As of 10/9/2021, lights are still not working. No Change. I have reported online directly to company, in person, via phone call and via this review process. Disappointing. Frustrating.
Life Storage did put through a 20% increase in monthly rent effective 10/1/2021. This adds to the insult."
"They use a call center; which isn’t an issue at all, but led to so many…
I was promised a price for a unit because I was only using the unit for 10 days (between apartments). When I go into the office to confirm everything and get insurance for the unit I was charged more than double what I was told (by the call center). When I explained to the worker that it was wrong, she then called the supervisor. The supervisor told her to charge me for absolutely everything including a “management fee”. I was told my unit was going to be $66 ($82 after insurance fees) and I ended up paying $180. That being said this is the second time I’ve used their storage facility and the first time went smoothly and well. This most recent experience however has ruined the chances of me using their facilities again.
Management/service: 1/5
Cleanliness: 4/5"
"This place closes at 6pm. Imagine coming home from work ready to grab your camping gear for an early morning trip the next day, only to find that you can't access the facility until 9am the next morning. Rinse and repeat.
Its impossible to get into place if you work a day job."
"Over 6 weeks, I reported lights out on the 2nd floor to management on multiple occasions. Have had to use a flashlight when going to my storage unit. I did get a call back in response to an email. 2 weeks after the call, I get an email informing me of 20% increase in monthly rent."
"Wow I had a terrible experience here. After signing a vacate notice, they continued to charge me without telling me with the excuse that my lock (which we all know they can get off) was still on the door. I no longer live in state and had to mail a key home which I somehow luckily still had, have a family member go try to get the lock off, and low and behold they had locked my lock into the door. When I asked them to please undo that so I could get my lock off so they would stop charging me, she told me they would not do that because I needed to pay for the days I had not been renting the unit. Moral of the story they will not tell you this, but if you don't take the lock from your unit with you they will keep charging you even after you sign paperwork that the unit is no longer yours. Really shitty business."
"I've never really had another storage unit experience to compare anything to, but as far as I'm concerned, Life Storage is great if you're looking for somewhere easy and convenient.
It's a really nice, very clean, extra bright facility with helpful staff. I even booked my unit and moved into it within the same day. There are two very large garage doors to pull into anytime you'd like, as you're given an access code. You can probably fit at least eight cars inside at a time so there's plenty of room for multiple people at one. Large and small carts are provided to assist you as needed and the corridors are very wide and easy to navigate around.
I would also give them thumbs up on pricing! I have a quite a large unit  and was shocked about the low monthly payment. From what I can see, there are loads of different unit sizes from real small to massive so no doubt they can always fit your needs.
Secure and well maintained: what more could ya ask for!"
"Staff pretty amazing! Love there humor, nicole unexpectedly jumped in and made us laugh, Joseph was awsome, he was very specific, informative and knowledgeable! I liked that he went out of his way to show us the unit before we comitted to it!"
"Very friendly, ready to assist. The guy who attended us really took the time to explain everything with such great customer service. Even was willing to take us all the way to the storage to make sure we were happy with what we receive."
"I didn't catch the managers name but he was extremely friendly and didn't hesitate to answer any of my questions. The facility itself has excellent lighting, is very clean and I have no worries about my stored items. Would I prefer not to need extra storage? Absolutely. But after the necessary items, apartment life doesn't leave much room, so Life Storage it is!"
"Just rented our first unit from this location yesterday. Not only was it our first experience with Life Storage, but it was our first experience with any storage unit facility. I was very impressed with the entire process. The place is immaculate and the staff member, Sean, who helped us was extremely helpful and efficient. He went through everything very thoroughly and I got a call immediately following my reservation online to confirm my appointment. I am very glad we decided to go with Life Storage! I would highly recommend this company if you are looking to store any of your belongings you can't hold at your apartment or home."
"The facility is okay but their pricing is shady. They advertised a great rate on the website and 4 months later they raised it. Sure the contract you sign says they can raise the rate with 30 days notice, I just expected them to have the decency to wait 12 months...
Bait and Switch"
"This best Storage place I have ever use customer service is five stars I Recommend them to anyone I most definitely will use them again in the future"
"The managers here are very kind, helpful, and professional. Helped me back in a truck twice and were fun to check in and out with. Found my headphones too!"
"The Amazon locker here has not been accessible the two times I have come during their business hours. Both times I have come they have a sign on the door stating “We Will Return [in 30-40 minutes]”. Move the locker to a more accessible space if you can’t honor the hours that you have agreed with amazon to allow locker access."
"Amazing, simply amazing customer service! Great prices with insurance. I honestly went to five different Self Storage. I did not feel safe would keeping my stuff about any of them and the customer service was horrendous at all of those other self storage by downtown. The 2 guys at life storage made it so easy."
"Beautiful facility. Life Storage has very nice features like the drive-in garage, lots of storage units in so many different sizes, convenient hours and various ways to pay. The manager of this location, Joseph, is very helpful, knowledgeable, hospitable, and attentative to the needs of his customers! Joseph is a creative, solution-oriented manager! His demeanor and professionalism are greatly appreciated!!"
"Very nice staff and he was very informative and patient when showing the units and explaining everything. The units were clean and the building is very secure."
"Reviews is not enough=L<Ă» When I say Marcy and her employee Kiana hasGreat Customer Service I meant it. They made me feel safe last week when they told other customers its one customer at a time with mask on. They care about their customers >p and that why Life Storage is the best on Green Bay."
"Went and visited a few storage spots to check prices. Life Storage website emailed me a confirmation with a price quickly. On St Paul in downtown Milwaukee, Sean was very helpful with questions. Appreciate his smart, quick service.
Got a good rate online and all additional fees were explained. Def would recommend."
"Sean was very friendly and accommodating with requests that we had. In addition, the location and amenities of the storage facility are very nice. We use the facility to store some of our goods for a business and the easy access key pad and covered parking are great features!"
"I came in just to look around and see what they had to offer and Sean was great. He hit every detail on the head. I barely had to ask any questions. Great facility and very clean."
"Every single time i have contacted this life storage, the customer service is impeccable. I have no complaints. The staff go above and beyond and really put my mind at ease that ive chosen an amazing place to store my possessions. Today i called and Sean answered. He was fantastic. He answered all my questions and even called another store to double check that what he was telling me was accurate. Great service, great people! 10/10 would recommend.
Edit: I couldnt remember the gentlemans name that ive spoken to before but i believe it was Joseph and he is also amazing!"

"They have indoor parking to load and upload, flatbed carts to assist with loading and the aisles are wide enough to maneuver around. Also, the staff is friendly and helpful."
"Had to pickup an Amazon package at the pickup locker. After finally finding a parking spot, the door said be back at 5:15pm. I arrived at 4:40pm and didn't have time to wait around for over 30 minutes."
"I stopped in this morning to utilize the Amazon storage portion in their retail/office side. It was seamless and the individual who was at the front desk was helpful and friendly. I am glad they offer this service from Amazon, as it helps me receive my packages safely during the holiday season (opportunistic porch thieves) and allows me to interact with a new business that I normally never would have."
"FYI Â Regarding the AMAZON LOCKER at this location. DON'T GET ANYTHING DELIVERED TO THIS LOCKER LOCATION. The door is locked and customers/delivery people need to be buzzed in by Life Storage employees, but they are never around, so your packages will not be delivered. MAJOR PAIN. Avoid -"
"Life's Storage is the most dependable and structured facility around the Milwaukee downtown area. Curteous and outgoing and always very professional yet personal to your everyday needs. I would highly recommend checking them out and recommend to my friends and family. Just awesome!!! =
"
"Sean and Joseph were really polite and answered all of all the questions I asked to make sure I was looking for the right space. I was just looking around for the perfect unit. I might of just found it. Thank you so much."
"They put their Amazon Locker in their office, so it's only available during office hours. Even 24-hour gas stations are smart enough to put them in public. A mistake that obvious causes me to lose faith in whole company."
"Joseph took time to go through different storage options with me and was patient with any questions I had. He was very good at being available by phone. Building is in a good location. Safe and secured access. Clean facility. =M<Ă˝"
"Just got my first storage unit from DeVantte Adams and he was great. Everything was super simple and easy and quick. Super friendly and helped me out with everything. He went above and beyond. This man deserves a raise. When I got here they were on lunch break it said until 2:55, and they were back promptly at 2:55. Actually earlier. Great service! 10/10 recommend."
"LifeStorage was a great option when I needed some place quick to store my stuff when I had a lapse in leasing apartments. They had a first month promotion, and they have a very relaxed cancellation policy so I could cancel after only having it that first month! This was great as thats the only time frame I needed. Everyone there was super helpful and friendly, and it was a very secure facility. However, the reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because when I picked up all my stuff, there were mouse droppings in a lot of my bins/boxes and evidence of rodents chewing on my cardboard boxes that werent previously there as they were brand new boxes upon moving into the unit. Thankfully I didnt find any live rodents! Even considering the one negative, I would definitely rent from them again."
"I'm afraid of elevators. Although my girlfriend didnt understand, Joseph, the store manager did. In addition to unlocking the stairwell for me, he was also a really cool guy."
"Kathy one of the supervisors speaks to people in a condescending tone. Not that bright at all. Unaware of laws she's consider herself to know. Refuses to play back the calls on a recorded line when the staff lies to you. They try to drown out all the bad reviews with five star ratings by asking people for a review. Doesn't tell you about expensive insurance until you sign the contract. Which also doesn't have a clause of protecting all your items from water leaks creating mold in the unit. Oh if they attempt to use those "laws" to open the gate, file a chapter 128 .... Automatic stay they have no choice... "Wink""
"Great Customer service from Christy on the phone. Helped me secure a storage space from 100 miles away so it could be ready when we needed it. She was friendly, patient and recommended the apporpriate size. The facility is very clean, has easy and safe access for unloading, and provides flatbed carts to help.reqsonable rates too."
"Before I bought my current house, I had entirely too many things to store in my apartment. I was looking for an environmentally controlled self-storage place close to downtown. The location on St. Paul in Milwaukee looks to be a converted warehouse. The facility is fantastic, except some of the other customers aren't always the most cooperative -- please don't park in the middle of the bay! Leave room for others!"
"I went in after a bad experience with another storage place. I worked with Jasmine and she was amazing! She helped me find the perfect storage space, she answered all of my questions, offered advice and was enthusiastic the entire time. Very happy with my decision to rent a storage unit at Life Storage and even happier I got to meet Jasmine!"

"My sister has a storge at this facility and i loved it as soon as i walked in. It's very clean, i been to a few storage places before and never seen one as clean and secure as this one. You can tell that the staff is doing there job here. 5 stars from me for sure!!"
"Life storage is so great. The staff is SOOOOO great and friendly. Especially the sales staff Jasmine, very knowledgeable about the city and surrounding areas. She's a keep her."
"Jasmine was super nice and helpful, providing necessary information to make moving in and storage hassle-free. The facility is very clean, with ample elevator space and carts to make moving easier. The combination of price, location, and customer service make this a great storage facility, highly recommend!"
"I had a great experience. Very impressed by the cleanliness of the facility. Easy to get in & out. If I have the need to store again, I will choose Life."
"Only item that was always frustrating was at a downtown facility where parking is tight the staff always parked inside taking away 1-2 Parking spaces"
"The type in this survey is too small, as are the targets to click on.
I went to (then) Boys Tech High,
Commercial Art program.
At age 15, I learned that the first requirement of typography is readability.
Guess they don't train like they used to.
Best Regards,
Marty"
"I wish I could remember the names o the women who helped me. They created a wonderful experience. The facility is on St. Paul st. in Milwaukee Wisconsin. "
"The associate was very helpful and friendly. My mom is currently renting a space there and they have been nothing but nice and helpful!!!
I wouldn't have rented from anywhere else."
"From the moment I arrived, to the moment I approached the counter I felt it was a good choice for storage. Nevertheless, Mary and Tameka both received my husband and I with a warm welcome and a big smile. The process to finalize the storage rental was easy to understand, well explained and it met my budget. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend this company and location. "
"Was extremely impressed with cleanliness, security and of course your employees. I have already referred someone who has moved her items from a prior location to you. At the point where I need storage again I will definitely be back. Thank you"
"Overall, I feel very safe when I visit my storage. One suggestion, the motion lights on the 4th floor only stays on for a short period of time. I'm disabled and the walk back to the front to motion them to light up is somewhat difficult due to my level of pain. Scooters maybe in the future."
"Mary was fantastic - she was very friendly and walked us through everything. The facility itself was very clean and secure. I was apprehensive since this was the first time I was using a storage unit, and I would come here again in a heartbeat. "
"All my expectations were exceeded: Conveniently located, great access hours, safe, and an awesome staff. Pricing for units is also appropriate.
I moved here from another storage facility nearby where I had rented for nearly 4 years because they lacked all of the above! "
