We were in need of a large unit and Chiquita was incredibly helpful showing us several options around the property.

We were greeted by Jayquan in such a friendly way as soon as we walked in. We had a very specific need and Jayquan was able to brainstorm and find the right solution for us. He not only was able to address our concern but he genuinely connected with us and we really had a great time conversing with him while we were setting everything up. Thanks for making us feel so welcome and taken care of Jayquan!

Excellent experience. The location is clean and secure. Jay’s customer service skills are outstanding! He’s very thorough & conscientious. People came in and out while I was choosing a unit & everyone seemed very pleased with the facility and knew Jay…really positive, friendly vibe and the unloading space is relatively close to the entrance to the units. This isn’t always the case in the city. Also, they have ample amounts of carts to use.

Today was a very stressful day of moving. Thank god for Jay because if it wasn’t for his extreme customer focus, I would’ve never been able to move into my storage unit. My ever changing moving schedule was no problem for him and he made sure we had everything we needed to get into our unit. Thanks Jay!

The customer service here is fantastic! Jay walked through several units and took his time showing me the spaces! He even cleaned the unit, same day before I put my stuff in storage. I loved doing business with these guys (including Keith) and feel good that my stuff is being stored with them. Thanks for everything, Jay and Keith!

J was really kind and professional. I saw my unit before signing for it. He walked me through their affordable insurance for the unit (which I didn’t know I needed) and carefully gave me instructions for how to access the building. I can’t believe the deals Life Storage is having right now. J walked me through the deals and I was able to make an informed decision. Life Storage is more affordable than other storage companies in the area and it’s quite clean. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.
Piriye B Jan 14, 2022Amazing service! Keith was very efficient and professional. Made everything very easy.

Lawrence is an absolute champ. This guy goes the extra mile in a HIGE way and I know good facility managers (we had the best in the industry in Joanne from the Strongbox) from decades of experience with our own self storage business we owned and operated since the 80s. If you need help with storage anywhere near River north or Fulton market, you’d be crazy to go anywhere other than Metro on Grand & Desplaines because of how awesome Lawrence is and how much he cares about his customers.

Lawrence is the man. I mean if you need ANYTHING, any-thing, he is just there. From helping you quickly unload something out of your car, guiding you to your unit, and just clearly demonstrating all of storage units benefits, no one has come close to being this helpful. Not even in any other city.

Update 6/4/2021: We've used Metro Storage on & off since about 2010. I just rented a 3rd storage space here. It's very very clean, and very secure (gate and passcode after hours). We’ve moved throughout the city, but continue to use Metro Storage. The staff have been consistently professional, helpful, and friendly. They also have a small shop that sells cardboard boxes, tape, etc. Highly recommended!

I’ve been a client since the opening (over ten years). Great facility. Easy access. Secure. Clean. Parking (street as well). Left for a year and recently came back. I now have 2 storage spaces, personal and work. The property manager, Lawrence, is great. Personable. Funny. On point. He facilitates the onboarding process and makes things simple for the customer. Good vibes. If you’re in these River North/West Town neighborhoods and need storage, this is your place.

Lawrence and team at Metro are superb. You can't ask for a more courteous and professional staff. Having been a long term renter, I've seen my share of property managers, Lawrence by far has been the best. Great rates, secure clean facilities, spacious units, great hours and extremely convenient location to downtown, you can't ask for better especially given the neighborhood and location. Best rates hands down.
