This is a great location! Kimberly was very helpful I can in to get a space and it was my lucky day because another customer was vacating. She gave me a tour of building and told about all the benefits to my surprise they even have a free van rental for new move in customer for the first 2 weeks. She was very knowledgeable of her job and answered all my questions. And the location smelled amazing if you need storage this is the place but act fast they fill up quickly.

Kimberly is more like a mother than Store Manager. Shes taught me more about life than I could have ever learned in my 26 years on this planet. To say I would take a bullet for her is an understatement. I plan on naming my first born Kim and my second born Berly. There is a point in space where all the planets, stars, and solar systems revolve around...and in my book that is Kimberly.

Shavon Joslin Was so helpful and friendly and pleasant she made the process easy for me. Was not happy that I couldn’t get the first month free which was on the website so you need to take that down.

This is a great storage place. Clean facilities, easy to get started, convenient location for Oak Park, Forest Park, etc. Shanell, the Associate Store Manager, is awesome! She goes above and beyond to provide assistance. I appreciated how kind, professional and knowledgeable she was. I was able to get what I needed done super quickly thanks to her! Highly recommend this place.

Very friendly and professional service. The facility is clean and climate-controlled. When I brought in my items I was able to pull the moving van right into the facility so I never had to deal with inclement weather. There were large carts available to move all my boxes. It was so convenient to be able to rent the van right there that morning and return it to the same location that afternoon.

Kimberly, the manager at the Forest Park location, is a relocation EXPERT! She was so helpful providing all the necessary information and steps I needed to take to make my cross country move less stressful. She gave me all the necessary info to get my POD delivered, the opportunity to let me local contact go to the space and affix the lock, and she was kind and helpful on the phone. She really helped take away some stress of arranging storage needs remotely helping me check one more think of that pesky to-do list! :). Kimberly, thank you again, for all you do and your excellent service!Cheers!

I had a lot of complaints with Life Storage based on my first few experiences dating back to over a year ago. But yesterday I received some of the best customer service Ive received in a very long time.Shanell is a ROCKSTAR! She helped me change my unit within the facility to save me money and gave me a lot of information that wasnt made available to me prior to yesterday that will potentially save me even more money. She made me feel like she really cared about my customer needs and that is a rare thing these days. This one experience has changed my entire view of Life Storage. Up until yesterday I was literally warning people to NOT do business with this company, but after my experience with Shanell I will be recommending it!! (the Forest Park location specifically)Thank you Shanell! I greatly appreciate the work you do!

This is a great location. Kimberly is always friendly and courteous. When she’s out on the property she’ll speak and always ask if you need help. She does a great job managing. And when she’s not there you can count on mike to get the job done. They are a awesome team..

I’ve rented in forest park since they opened. I must say things have changed over the few years I’ve been here. But one thing for certain the manager Kimberly Franklin, she’s very helpful and when she’s out on the property shes stop speak ask how your days going and if you need help. That really means a lot in these trying times. This morning early she greeted me and then she asked if I had done my review yet and like always I said oh I’ll get to it but today I decided to pull my phone out and get it done. If you need storage this is the location go see Kimberly..

Kimberly, what can I say you’re amazing! She’s always on the property sweeping or mopping or helping customers if we look like we are struggling. It would be great if they hired her some help. She really does a great job maintaining the property but I never see anyone else working with her. She’s the best manager so far and I’ve been a customer since 2016 Thank you Kimberly your hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!! Again Google needs to fix this!!!!! I work near Life Storage. They are right at the corner of an intersection of a major street and an industrial area. I have to drive right past them to go to and from work. On the way home traffic sometimes is held up at the corner. Sitting on the street by a business for 2-3 or even 5 mins waiting for traffic doesnt mean you went to that business. GET THIS FIXED GOOGLE!!!

Great experience renting a storage unit here. I signed up online a few days ahead of time. Ashley reached out to me the same day to see if I had any questions and was able to reserve the van for us. On the morning of the reservation she reached out which I think was great customer service. When we arrived on site Ashley provided top of the line customer service. Gave us a tour, explained everything to us, got us through the process quickly and was so friendly. The storage unit and van were both clean. The use of the van was so convenient and unit is priced well. I am very happy with my decision to use Life Storage in Forest Park. Very grateful for the wonderful customer service provided by Ashley.

Jessica was awesome. She helped us figure out how to make our storage space and office space work. We are a start up business and Life Storage was our solution.

Made a reservation through the call center for a 5x5 unit. Received a confirmation call from Kelly, one of the managers at this location and stopped by an hour later. To say that I was impressed with the facilities and the staff is an understatement. The managers, Kelly and Jason are very pleasant as well as knowledgeable. The space feels warm and inviting. I felt very safe going to the storage unit, the air was fresh and the music was cool. Its a totally different atmosphere from other storage facilities. I would highly recommend this location!

This is the cleanest and friendliest storage location we have ever used. Jessica is awesome, she is friendly, helpful and always there to answer any questions we may have. The facility is very clean and safe. Plus when you first rent a unit they let you use the cargo van for free. Would rate them higher but only goes up to 5.Cindy & Anna

We had an excellent experience at the Forest Park Life Storage. Jason, the manager, did a great job of making us feel like family. He found us the perfect unit for our storage needs and made everything work out smoothly. We highly recommend this particular location and will refer friends and customers to them in the future. Jason told me his philosophy was that he treats all his customers the way he would want people to treat his own mother. Nice. Very nice.

From the first phone call to when we actually came in to view the facility, everything was smooth and easy. Jessica was very clear with all of the details of our storage rental. I received calls from her reminding me of our first time coming in, and ensuring all of my questions were answered. And when we came in she introduced herself, and was kind, welcoming, and thorough. I would HIGHLY rreccomend this facility to anyone in need. This process was much better than anticipated. We loved working with Jessica, and the facility is clean and feels secure. Also, they have very reasonable pricing with specials offered. Great experience all around!

Currently renting an office suite and I must say this has by far been the best suite rental experience. The customer service is wonderful. Ashley and Jessica are amazing. They keep the office common areas clean, very helpful and knowledgeable about not only Life Storage but the local area. If you are looking for a safe, clean facility with great customer service for office suite rental or storage Life Storage in Forest Park is the way to go.

This is a wonderful location with top notch facilities! We have three units in the heated driveway (indoors), two private/gated parking spots, and an office space!

I was recently in the market for some off-site storage. Being new to the process, I was very overwhelmed. Had it not been for my Administrators last minute choice to discard said materials Id be at the this location. Jason (store mgr) was very helpful. I had a list of questions that were answered in great detail w/o me having to ask. The facility was new and very inviting. Modern technology and state of the art equipment. 1 of our physicians left to start her own practice so well be moving to a smaller office this summer. I look forward to continuing the rental process here at Life Storage-Forest Park!

For the last few months whenever I come to the property Kimberly is there always willing to help if I’m struggling. She’s always sweeping or cleaning. I asked her if she ever has helps she smiled and said yes but I never see anyone other than her. She never complains but works hard. Some customers aren’t always friendly or courteous but she keeps going. So Kimberly thank you for all that you do. Maggie a lifetime lifestorage customer.

I came into life Storage today to get information and was greeted with a dog doing its business right by where I was supposed to walk in. When I went insode I was greeted professionally be the 2 women there. Everything was going great until the same dog I saw outside was running freely and barking loudly behind the main office. When I asked the staff at the front desk about it they said that some of their businesses in the back have dogs. I thanked them for their time but I did NOT feel comfortable renting where dogs are all over the place.

Not only was she willing to assist me but she did so with a great attitude because I know that I can be difficult sometimes with all my questions lol.

My husband and I have things that we needed to store. Eventually, we will move into a house, but, for now our condo it is... we have more stuff than space. We pass by LifeStorage daily..... After much procrastination, I checked out the facilities. Jason showed me around and answered all my questions. He is very professional and we feel very comfortable storing our things here. The building is well maintained, there are carts available for easy moving, the facility is well lit (motion sensor lighting), and it is climate controlled. The whole sign up process was quick and easy.... just wish we would have done it sooner!

Everything has been positive so far with this storage unit. The staff was very friendly and efficient regarding the reservation and move in.

Price also seemed extremely reasonable, especially given the promotion.

Were really happy with the service at LifeStorage! The facility is like brand-new, super clean and well maintained. The manager is helpful and friendly, he was able to set us up with a unit right away and he walked us through the entire space to show us different features (like the dock and the offices available). The drive through option (you can drive your car into the facility) is really convenient for loading and unloading.

We moved our belongings over from Public Storage due to their facility being outside and overpriced. There was even water damage which I have filed a claim for items that were damaged. LifeStorage is indoors, clean, more secure, have bathrooms on premises, and a much better value for the price. The manager is friendly and very helpful. They even have a special going on that sweetens the deal. I will be saving over $100 per month because of the move.

Review №99

Facility looks very new and well maintained. Had reserved a unit several days prior. Unfortunately I am not sure about the welcome that I received. An older gentleman had arrived there 40 seconds prior to me and, the person on staff was going to show him units available I assume. I was locked out of the sitting area/store region and informed I would have to wait in the hallway outside of the sitting area. This was fine since I figured standard procedure. 30 minutes later they return and they unlock the area and tell me I can have a seat in the store/sitting area. While the person finished up helping the gentleman that was shown the unit.A new couple arrived while that transaction was completed. When that transaction was completed I was asked for my information and I asked to see the unit prior to committing. Well I guess that the couple that came after me were not asked to wait in the hallway as I was or that area locked up as it was for me. This rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe I should have walked away after seeing the unit cancelling my reservation, but I understand since I am uncertain if it was the long hair that I have for the first time grown out. Or the possibility that I looked tired from battling a cold recently. I would hate to say that it was based on ethnicity.I will wait and see how my next visits go......
