    Ms. Jeanne was so amazing. I truly appreciate her kindness and the way she TRULY cares about the people storing here, me being one. Thank you so much Ms. Jeanne for literally be so helpful to me you will never understand how much I truly appreciate it. ... Read more

    Ms Jeanne made my check in process very easy and smooth. She went over all the need to know information and also provided me with a couple items to help ensure my belongings would be protected while in storage. She made me feel like I choose the perfect location to store belongings! ... Read more
    Jaida H. - 7 June 2026
    To put it simply, Jeanne is hands down amazing!!! When I made a mistake with my unit she helped me with a friendly and nonjudgmental demeanor. Jeanne listed and explained solutions to my error and then walked me step by step through fixing it. This is my first experience with using a storage unit and Jeanne has ensured that should I ever need one again that I’ll look for the green extra space logo first. The deal promotion I signed on with lasted for 3 months before I was moved to the regular rate. The unit was clean and mostly assessable (large step into hallway before unit). Big thanks to the whole crew at this location as I’m sure Jeanne is not the only fabulous one there! ... Read more

    Extra Space Storage Staff (Jeannie) is great and really goes the extra mile to help you out. Storage boxes are generally the same everywhere, but taking care of customers is much better here (in addition to it being clean and well maintained). Highly recommend. ... Read more
    Evan J. - 7 March 2026
    I've been a renter at this location for two years and can't recommend it in the least. The corporation that controls this location will jack up your rates every few months. In the course of two years, I went from paying $70 to $236 per month! They tell you that the initial rate is an "introductory" rate - what they don't tell you is that they will raise it every three or four months until you're paying more per square foot than an luxury apartment. We are literally getting a bigger apartment with another bedroom because it's cheaper than Extra Space. Don't waste your money on this place. ... Read more

    Jeanne Dabney is an AMAZING woman who REALLY helped my family out with our move. She made the process seamless and smooth. She had no idea how much her kindness meant in such a turbulent move my family experienced. Thank you for hiring a person with integrity and OUTSTANDING customer service ????! She's a PERFECT example of the type of people company's should hire! ... Read more

    I left undecided about a unit with ExtraSpace. However, Ms. Norma’s customer service and hospitality was stellar. She lives onsite which provides an extra layer of security and she knows her customers and the neighboring businesses which lets me know she values our business. The site is very clean and easily accessible. If you need a space this is the place. The rates are very affordable. ... Read more

    Jeanne Dabney, manager of the Extra Storage facility on Cornwallis in Durham, NC helped me rent a mini storage today. She made this process so easy! She is so friendly and knowledgeable. I had so many questions and she took all the time necessary to get my unit reserved and I was able to move in as soon as the paperwork was done. I was so impressed with her attention to detail and the information about this company. I have my own business and I will recommend this storage facility to all my customers. Thank you Jeanne! ?????????? ... Read more
    Marie D. - 24 June 2025
    Jeanie is the reason this place deserves 5 stars! From start to finish, she was incredible. She didn’t just help me get set up with a unit—she genuinely cared and went out of her way to assist me with things that had nothing to do with storage. You can tell she takes pride in what she does and treats people with kindness and respect. Her patience, attention to detail, and warm attitude made everything feel easy and welcoming. If you’re looking for a storage place where the staff actually cares, ask for Jeanie—you won’t be disappointed! ... Read more
    Lili J. - 9 June 2025
    I can't say enough good things about this storage facility! From the moment I walked in, the lady in the office made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. She went above and beyond—not just helping me with the storage unit itself, but also assisting me with a few other things I needed outside of just storing items. Her kindness, professionalism, and respectful attitude truly stood out. She took the time to make sure everything was clear, easy, and comfortable for me. You don’t find service like that every day. Highly recommend this place! ... Read more
    SinFullHack -. - 9 June 2025
    We arrived 30 minutes after office hours but Jeanie was out and about the premises and was so kind to assist us. She was even gracious and welcoming when we asked for a lock she welcoming us into the office to assist before realizing that we already had one. We truly appreciate her kindness and her time. This was far better and smoother of an experience that I had imagined it would be. ... Read more

    Ms Jeanne is the glue that holds this place together! From day one she has ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS been soooo helpful and informative! She tries her best to find you the best prices. When I was outgrowing my space...she suggested that I upgrade to a larger unit...she told me that she had some hunting around to do with the prices and that she would call me back...welp about 1hour passes and she called me back with a great price and reserved a unit for me!...and if you come to your unit in the daytime...you just might catch her popping a wheelie on that golf cart!?? WE ? YOU MS JEANNIE? ... Read more

    Happy to see the appreciation in all the other reviews. I chose Life Storage because the company policies were straightforward and not sleazy like most of the competition. But also, when I was shopping around the conversation I had with Jeanne was such a breath of fresh air vs. the competitors. She made it easy to understand everything and get set up. As everyone says, Jeanne is so sweet and she really cares about her job and her customers. She is very professional and there to help with any issues, as well as just to check in on you and see how you're doing. With storage facilities you kind of expect the eerie, stale, fluorescent lit warehouse as seen on every detective show, but here we have a friendly neighbor around that makes the place feel welcoming and safe. Generally corporate-owned businesses aren't capable of providing a personal and non-predatory experience, so the suits have my respect for allowing Jeanne to run this place properly and make them a lot of money. Hopefully they have the sense to not mess with the recipe, and can see the value of differentiating their brand by keeping away from the greedy shenanigans found at just about every rental or storage place. ...
