My 1st visit was really good as Maria showed me around and explained how the units worked. Upon hearing that I would need my storage unit for a couple more weeks Maria extended my reservation to keep my rate and that really helped. On move in day I was given a phone call the day before, to check to make sure what time I was going to arrive. I was able to reschedule my time when I realised that the time slot didn't work any longer. The office staff were very flexible with helping me out. I was able to complete the whole moving process in less than 30 minutes. Overall I am happy with my unit I end up getting a 10 by 7 and a 1/2. I do like the ease of unloading my S UV into their docking station. I appreciate the climate control as it can get really hot during the summer and I was worried about my electronics. This was the true reason I picked this location even though about $50 more per month than the location about 2 miles away. All in all super excited about the fringe benefits of this location, To include utilization of a moving truck. The nice thing is that they allow you to use the moving truck up to 2 weeks from your moving date. This alone is going to save me a $150.

The staff are extremely courteous, helpful, and professional. All my questions were addressed up front, and I am confident that I chose the best facility around! The best part for me is the secure loading dock (garage). Even when there are other folks bringing stuff in or out, I don't have to wait more than a few minutes. If I stop by early in the morning or late in the evening, I'm typically done within 5 minutes. It's that easy. I love that the facility is climate controlled (for my own comfort primarily), and I don't have any concerns about safely, knowing that access is strictly monitored. Self Storage 1 gets my highest recommendation. Lakeview and Uptown folks, this is as good as it gets!

The owner claims the issue is being taken care of but the mice never went away as every month I return to my unit and discover new damage!

They offered $10 discount for the next 6 months for me as well as arrange the livers to vacate then disappeared. The staff is friendly but not helpful. Be mindful of this went renting from them!

Because I was driving and unable to write down the options, I asked if he could email the information to both my personal email and the email associated with my account so I could review everything later. Instead, he repeatedly told me that I was not listening to him. The tone and manner in which I was spoken to were extremely unprofessional. I work in customer service every day, so I was genuinely shocked by the way this interaction was handled. My husband was in the car with me and was also shocked by the conversation. He began recording the call and will be forwarding it to Lock Up Storage headquarters for review. There are too many storage options in Chicago to spend my money somewhere I don't feel respected as a customer or person.

The units, hallways, and elevators are spotless. I never had a concern about the temperature or humidity inside the building.

I dealt mainly with Mario, and he is super-conscientious and pro-actively gave me every bit of information I needed to use this facility confidently, rent an additional unit, and vacate my spaces economically. I highly recommend this outfit if you live on the north side and looking for storage. To my mind, it's a near perfect arrangement for a reasonable price.
