    Read some helpful reviews of East Lansing Storage, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

    I was looking to rent a storage unit for the end of the term for Michigan State University for my youngest son. We live out of state and we’re looking to store his stuff over the summer instead of having to transport everything back. I found their website online and then I called and spoke with their staff member Brittany. She has been absolutely amazing and helping us understand how the unit worked and what we needed to do to secure the unit since it’s our first time renting a storage facility. She walked us through the app, which is used for locking and unlocking the unit so we wouldn’t have to worry about padlocks and keys. We visited the unit at the beginning of March and the facility was clean, organized and easy to locate our unit. I highly recommend this facility as it is only 10 minutes from the university and the pricing is extremely nice. ... Read more

    This is a great facility and they have always been available when I have questions. I have had a unit there for two years and I sleep good knowing that they have a secure facility. The ease of access to the unit and paying through app makes it far superior than other storage units. Highly recommend using East Lansing Storage for all your storage and UHaul needs. ... Read more

    9/2/25 Edit: 2 months after getting the unit my price went up $30/month from $169 to $199. That's $209 with the insurance. Planned on staying here for a year but I'm not paying $300 more than I originally agreed on for the year. Called and got disconnected twice. When I finally got through, I was told there's nothing that can be done. As far as the units are concerned, I haven't had any issues, but raising rates right after signing up is bad business in my opinion. If you intend on keeping your stuff here longer than a month, be warned. Unfortunate that I'll be needing to shop around and spend time moving stuff when I thought I found a good place. --------- Original: Friendly staff. She had 3 people at the desk 15 minutes before closing, and was working alone, but was still patient. The units are nice and clean. The place has cameras all around. The gate and units are controlled by an app which is nice. No need to fumble with a key or combination. I would recommend this place to anyone looking. ... Read more

    I would never rent from this storage facility. They had a drainage issue and caused my items to be damaged with water/mold/mildew. My mattress, box springs, furniture and other items are ruined!!! I called and spoke to the manager and she said she couldn’t do anything about it. I’m very very upset. I asked them to right the situation but the manager said she couldn’t. I bought the Bader insurance from them but they didn’t cover drainage issues. I’m out for the storage costs-which they charged me for twice and about $2000. There was actual visual water spots and stains and rusting on the cement of my storage unit. Why would they rent a unit that leaks? I would never rent from them again and advise no one else to either. Very upset!!!!! ... Read more

    I've now been storing here for 8+ months and have been thoroughly impressed by the staff, security, bluetooth functionality, and overall experience. Kenzie and D'Paris have been extremely helpful especially when we run into the occasional glitch with the storage software. The facility looks very nice but also feels safe enough for my girlfriend to feel comfortable grabbing things out of our unit after dark. We have one of the temperature controlled units and plan on staying for the foreseeable future. ... Read more
    Matthew H. - 11 September 2024
    Not super impressed with the facility itself, too many issues to even list, and won’t rent from them again. However, Kenzie did right by me. I was reimbursed for several wrongful charges to my account, which I greatly appreciate. We followed the rules and all of the fine print and she knew it and backed me up. She was wonderful to work with and I recommend if anyone else has issues at ELS to please ask for her. She’s a gem. Let’s hope the insurance I purchased for all the rain damage goes smoother! Sounds like rain damage is common. ... Read more
