Everything was easy from start to finish. Reserved unit online and paid and signed contract. Received access immediately. Purchased a lock from them and it was waiting in my unit as promised. Signed up for auto pay and that was smooth. Only thing that threw me was the huge increase in monthly fee after first 3 months. They did send a post card 30 days prior but still a shock but it just motivated me to tend to my storage quicker and move out All in all, 5 stars because it was just so easy and convenient and Mary the site manager is the kindest person to talk to and deal with! read more

Headline: WARNING: Dishonest Bait-and-Switch & Rude Management "Avoid this place at all costs. They are not honest. I saw an advertised price for a unit at $50 and spent over an hour on the phone with a representative to confirm it. I even PAID for the unit over the phone and cleared out my old storage space to move in. When I arrived, they refused to honor the $50 price I already paid and tried to force me into a $300 rate instead. When I asked them to give me the unit I had a reservation for, they completely ignored me and tried to send me to a different location miles away. The staff on-site was incredibly rude and unprofessional. When I asked to speak to a district manager to resolve the lie, they refused to help. To make matters worse, it took 3 days just to get my refund back. They lure you in with fake prices, take your money, and then leave you stranded with your belongings and no unit. Save yourself the stress and go to a company with actual integrity." read more

Extra Space Storage - Adding pictures as well so stressed out what they made me go through - Self Storage Near Me - Round Lake Beach, Illinois

See all

That place is horrible-- The old storage place that was here before this had great management and then Extra Space acquired them last year and they are awful now-- gate access is frequently broken and they raise the rate way up after you are in there a few months... there are many more reliable and affordable options in the area.... Stay away from this one Extra Space is a lemon !!! read more

Mary, the manager at Extra Space Storage, provided outstanding assistance when our car didn't fit in the assigned unit. She quickly offered a different unit that met our needs. Her professionalism and customer service were top-notch! Highly recommend! read more

Courteous & patient employees went above my expectations helping me find a small storage space for the summer. Thank you

Help me signup great and help me move out smoothly. Great people. In person and on the phone. Mary and Jacklyn were great to me

After being a bit flustered with the online thingy,( I'm not much for doing any online anything) I went to the site where my unit is and bought the title for my bike , and as soon a Mary and started talking, ahhh knew I was in the right place!! We finished up the rest of the paperwork in a couple minutes, and we on our way to see where my storage unit is located!! I couldn't of had a better experience! Everything was explained, I had a couple questions hah they were answered B4 I got the chance to ask!!! Awesome place keep up the great friendly environment! I'm sure happy I chose Extra Space Storage read more

I am very Happy with my experience @ExtraSpace Rt 83 Mary and Justin have been a huge help, polite and understanding. I recommend this storage, its clean and the staff go out of their way to make sure your storage needs are met! read more

Had to make local storage arrangements from thousands of miles away. Mary was great -- she made sure all the security protocols were in place and monitored the proper delivery and placement of stored items. I appreciated the care she took. read more

I am not a complainer but the price gets jacked up and they say they notify you. Not once did I receive snail mail or an email stating they would be doing this. We got this storage unit July 2019 and it is August 2021, our price went from $119 a month to $220 in 2 years. I will offer it is clean, the staff (when there) are very kind and helpful and well secured. read more

Suzanne was extremely helpful and kind! The facility is in great condition and security is at an all time high! Thank you Extra Storage!!!!

Mary was wonderful helping us with an issue with our storage unit. Attentive and very helpful the entire time.

Would never ever rent from this place if my life depended on it. Mary is probably the rudest person I have ever met in my life. I've rented here for many many years and today I finally broke up with extra space storage. Best Valentine's Day breakup ever!!!! Peace out!! Taking my storage needs back to.....somewhere. No clue where but not here. read more

Expensive for no reason. Chose this place for a cheap rent close to home and in two months the rate almost tripled with no notice. There's better safer and cheaper options out there read more

We have had a unit here for years, everyone has always been friendly until there is a billing discrepancy. Our monthly invoice increased by $80 and when I called to inquire all I got was a rude response by Mary and to top it off she hung up on me. This will be our last month there. read more

Horrible customer service! Mary is unprofessionally intrusive, rude, nosey, she could easily see I had a unit at this establishment and I was given all paperwork at the time of rental two months prior. Yet in still she wanted all my information as she tried to play Encyclopedia Brown because she didn't know who I was. She was trying to make small talk but it was so fake I had to ignore her and pray she didn't call the police on me. She definitely needs diversity training and cultural awareness training. Just a NASTY human being period. read more

The service was great. I love doing business here. I am not using the service for personal use it is for a nonprofit. If I needed to use a storage facility I would certainly use Extra Space Storage. read more

We shopped around searching for a storage facility that offered a fair price, but what we found at Extra Space storage is far beyond that... For more than just a fair price, this facility offers indoor units, outdoor drive-up units, and even smaller locker units, all with very ample storage space; recreational vehicle storage; climate control, packing supplies, trucks with lift gates and ramps, high tech security, convenient, easy access, easy payment plans, a user-friendly website, and the gem of all selling points ~ a super friendly staff willing to go above and beyond in Customer Service! Frankly, every other place we checked out was a dump, and more often than not, the staff were rude drones who clearly couldn't wait to punch the clock and just go home. Even the managers of some of these places really didn't appear to care about much more than making easy money by housing our personal property month after month. You could see the dollar signs in their eyes. The only time any sense of so-called customer service ever seeped through at the other storage places was typically while discussing rates; as if the insincere smile and randomly perky tone of voice from some smarmy storage slum lord has the power to make me lose my sense and sensibilities! Pretty worn for the wear after having exhausted ourselves looking for "a better deal", we were more than pleasantly surprised by not only by our first experience with Extra Space storage, but even after that initial phone call - we've had nothing but positive experiences just as often as we've had the pleasure of doing business with anyone at their site! What's more is that we've moved 2 towns over, but our storage stayed in Round Lake at Extra Space storage. That should tell you something! In my opinion, the "Extra" in the company's name isn't just about the storage space you'll get; it's stands for all the EXTRA satisfaction, service, convenience, and money you'll save! If you'd like that little extra something in the otherwise bland world of storage, it's my pleasure to recommend Extra Space Storage for all you'll ever need in finding a home away from home for your stuff! Give my regards to Mary Matthews ((Store Mgr) and Jeff Koepp (Assistant Store Mgr). Sincerely, ~V. read more

My husband and I have been looking for storage and after reading about extra space storage and the yelp reviews I was a bit hesitant, but glad I did not let any bad review stop me as my experience was absolutely great! The manager was extremely helpful and the space very clean and fair prices to boot. We will be moving our "stuff" in this month and I will update my review if anything changes! read more

I cannot say enough about this company. We chose this location when we moved out of Lake Villa because it was close by. Mary was with me from day 1 with outstanding customer service. She understood the stress of my move, and my budget. She did not try to sell me anything I did not need and in fact probably saved my things: I wanted an outside unit but because of my wood furniture it was better protected in climate control. I had no idea this was a factor and am so grateful to her for her education on how to save the most and keep my things secure and in great condition. It's very state of the art there with monitors and passcode entries times 2, and I sleep like a baby not worrying about my personal belongings - they could not be in a better place. Friendly helpful staff (Mary, THANK YOU!!!!) and very easy to access and store my things. I even have room for a little more. Bless you guys! read more

We didn't have the same experience as the others. I am a Latino and Mary treated me and my pregnant wife with respect and very professional. We had the storage unit for a year and a half. I will say the prices could be more competitive. Overall we didn't have issues coming and going to the unit and the facility was always clean. Unit 408 read more

After I had a terrible experience at a different company, Mary was so helpful. She explained the process to me, went over all the fees, and got me a great deal. The customer service here is superb. I was given directions, greeted with a smile, and they went the extra mile to make sure I was happy. I highly recommend using this facility. read more

It is clean, and secured by fences and an entry code keypad. Staff was friendly when we moved in. However, I have been renting a unit there since November 2012, and here in Jan 2014, a little over a year later, I have had 2 rate increases. The unit has gone from $85 to $103/mo. That's an increase of over 20% in about a year. Also, they clear the snow, but not from right in front of the units. So, now I have a small hill of snow about a foot high that I have to climb over to get into the unit. I will be looking for other options. read more

Mary runs a great storage site. We rent every year for a couple of months and she is always great to work with.

I am very disappointed with the security of this facility. The security gate has been broken for months, leaving the gates open around the clock. This causes a safety concern when entering the property as anyone can be on the property any time of the day or night. I have asked management when it will be fixed and they do not know. Also, the rate for my unit has increased numerous times since it has been broken. I do not feel that is right, since I am not getting the service that I have signed a contract for! read more
