I have two units here and when I moved a couple of months ago I misplaced the keys for both units. Rick in the office was so helpful and quickly resolved the issue. Shay helped me by replacing the locks on both units.
Both staff members were genuinely happy to help and were quick with a smile. They could not have been nicer.
The facility itself is clean, secure and well lit. I have no concerns when I have to go to the facility after dark. I definitely recommend this storage facility for your short and long term storage needs.
Thanks again to Rick and Shay for helping me today! Your help was greatly appreciated!

I had a great experience at Life Storage. The online move-in was quick, my gate code arrived immediately, and the unit was clean, dry, and climate-controlled. The building is bright with cameras everywhere, carts by the door, and a covered loading area so you’re not battling the weather.
Shout-out to the front desk (ask for [Name])—they walked me through lock options and insurance without any pressure, and even helped me find the best unit size so I wasn’t overpaying. Prices were clear, no surprise fees, and access hours are generous. If you want a stress-free move-in with people who actually help, this is the spot.

I have only been using Extra Storage for only a year and they doubled the cost of my unit.
They told us we can reduce our cost by moving our stuff into a larger unit, which doesn’t make any sense. This place is a scam!! They will keep increasing your price until you leave. Don’t recommend 👎

I AM ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER!
I was assisted by Mardochée Vilain. He was extreamly helpful, knowlesgible, patient, and courteous. I have a unit at another location and he helped me consolidate all my storage lockers under my one account. He also took the time to show me around the Garden City facility to help me pick the units that best suited me.
