Review: I’m glad that I found this storage in my area ! The facility is clean , easy access to my unit , great size - just what I was looking for but most importantly, the PRICE / RATE is the best deal so far. Just hoping it stays low for a long time - as we all know how storage rates go over time. The staff were great - Josh & Josh were both professional , friendly and accomodating . Excellent in communication, well understood with contract.

Review: My move took 3 days and a few trips to Life Storage it was extremely stressful not knowing exactly how much stuff I had until I packed it all up. Dennis at Life Storage made my life allot simpler. First I reserved a 5'X 10' online, then when I got to the facility Dennis helped me to downgrade it to a 5'X 5' because online they don't tell you about the addition $14 - $16 monthly insurance charge on top of the monthly fee. Then the next day when the movers came, their entire truck was filled and I still had things left so I felt I needed an additional 5'X 5' unit which Dennis found me one close to the first unit. The move took all day until about 3:30pm and I called Life Storage to ask what time they close and Dennis answered and told me 4pm. I was in the middle of moving things in my personal vehicle and told Dennis I couldn't make it there until 4:15pm to pick up the Life Storage Van I reserved. Dennis stayed late just to make sure I was able to get the Van. The next day I was able to combine the contents of my 1st storage unit into my second unit and Dennis helped me to cancel the first unit. Dennis went above and beyond what was required from his job to ensure my accommodation needs were met. Dennis definitely portrayed exemplary customer service skills and I will definitely recommend anyone moving to the Alexandria area to give Life Storage a call if they are in need of storage. Thank you Dennis, its people like you that define the term "Customer Satisfaction."

Review: I could not use the elevator. It has a very narrow door (not a freight elevator) in a very narrow corridor. It does not stay open and closes every 5 seconds. There's no way you can move big pieces of furniture using this elevator. The numbering outside is very confusing, it only lists the numbers on the first floor, not the second floor. We spent 10 minutes walking through every door of the building and going on to the second floor looking for our unit.

Review: My storage unit clearly was a mess and was not properly inspected prior to me moving in. It had trash and broken glass scattered everywhere. I had to buy a broom and sweep it all out myself since the office wasn't open at the time. I brought this issue to the property office attention that day when they did opened and not even a simple apology was offered. My recommendation to future renters is to inspect your storage unit during normal business hours and document it to avoid all the stress and wasted time on move in day.

As an added bonus you get to rent the van/truck for free especially if you are under 25 miles and all you have to do is make sure fuel is back on full. The best part of it was the customer service . Brittany the store manager was awesome she answered all my questions and was very accommodating! I definitely recommend the Alexandria location. Thank you life storage!

Review: The customer service representative that I checked in with "Aldo Gutierrez" was very knowledgeable, made sure he took me through all the steps to ensure I knew how to use all the things in the facility that I needed. He also went with me through all the codes to enter and leave the facility. He just had overall great customer service and because of service like his I highly recommend this facility. I really appreciate the time he took to make sure I knew how to use the lock I purchased and ensuring I could do everything on my own when I return. 5 ***** Stars! The facility is very clean as well and the pricing was great compared to other storage units.

My 5X10 unit is on the second floor and there are two steps to get to the unit itself, which can seem like and inconvenience but it is really not a big deal. I am most impressed with the fact that they land you a truck for moving, one time, for free! This made my move super easy! I highly recommend them!

Review: I would rate this facility 4.5 stars out of 5 overall. They lose a half star due to the lack of a "ramp" on the doors leading into the facility. Instead it is a ledge which is difficult to get over with a dolly when moving boxes from the truck into the facility. On my first visit, I had to unload the hand cart in order to get over the ledge. Now I have learned to place the hand cart inside of the door and then load it so I don't have to push a loaded hand cart over the ledge which can be difficult to do.

Review: The office staff was not the most friendly. My first time going there after I had rented the storage unit, the office was open and my understanding is that the gate would be opened for us. So I got out of my vehicle and went inside, 2 people were having a conversation among themselves and it took a moment for them to realize I was there. I asked if they could open the gate, the gentleman pointed out the door at the keypad and just as I got to the key pad it automatically opened. Waste of time!

Review: Had started at another storage place that sprung an insurance fee ($12/mo) on me at sign-up. I deferred and kept looking, calling UBs and eventually renting a larger, humidity controlled unit for less than the smaller, no humidity control at the first place. UBs also needed insurance, but was willing to let me bring in a copy of my homeowners policy to satisfy requirement. Good clean facility and easy, nice people to work with. Happy we chose it.

Review: Easy process. Showed up and filled out paperwork pretty quickly. The only issue is that you have to have home owner's insurance or renter's insurance or they charge extra. They require insurance either way. Other than that, we got the unit we reserved and quickly moved in. Great service and friendly staff.

Review: Reserved a 5x5 on the phone Saturday get a call the next day after we had loaded up the truck that our particular unit is on the 2nd floor w/ no elevator but stairs. Not what we confirmed on Saturday. Bad business tactics. Ended up saying "NO thanks" and went elsewhere. When we complained they offered to "allow us to trade up" but of course and a higher price. SHADY BAIT and SWITCH TACTICS. They have good prices but you will prob never get the "one left" unit that they have for the lowest price. look elsewhere!!!

Review: The facility representative was perhaps the nicest person I've met this month, and very helpful and prompt. The security is surprisingly thorough as well: when I initially installed my padlock, I put it on the wrong rung of the door by accident so that it could be opened; within 12 hours, the facility called me to inform me that it was insecure and that I should come fix it.
