We needed to have a 2 month storage solution before we moved into a larger apartment and then staff here made sure that we had the best experience for the best price possible.

This is my second review for Metro Self Storage Lake Bluff highlighting the solid customer service here. Shout-out to Joe in Front office and Keith on property for solving my on locker access issue. Joe and Keith were very professional and focused on solving my issue. Strong customer service in general including Manager Mila who made sure I got extra documents that I needed this week. Metro Self Storage Lake Bluff is an excellent storage location with an excellent customer service team. We have been customers who have rented from this clean and well-kept facility over the past 12 years. No pest control issues here. My only disappointing experience was with the Corporate Office (not the Lake Bluff office) who are NOT flexible in their policies and procedures in general and in particular for our family despite signifiant monies spent with Metro Self Storage renting from them continuously for over 12 years. So future renters and customers - you’ll get great customer service from the Lake Bluff Office but be aware of Corporate’s lack of flexibility if you have any disputes with your storage contract.

Joe White was a super pro to work with. Exceptional service was his specialty — all Metro Self Storage folks should be as good and caring as Joe. My car was stored for a month plus — heated, safe, and all as I left it. I’ve stored my auto in the Lake Bluff facility for one month (Feb) the last 7 years, and will continue to do so.

Once it got sorted out everything was fine but even though the Website says you need to bring your own lock (and I made a special trip to go get one & opened it & distributed keys rendering it un-returnable) you actually have to buy a lock there from them. You’d think they would just add that in given the profit margin on storage. Also, I made arrangements online & the confirmation seemed like everything was all set. However, once I arrived they expected a copy of my insurance declaration page. I’m not sure was mentioned during the sign up process. The guy at the desk couldn’t have been more friendly especially considering he was dealing with a very annoyed me. The facility is very clean & now that these hiccups have been resolved it probably will be just fine.

Climate-Controlled Storage South of Knollwood

No matter if you’ve lived in Illinois a few months or your entire life, you know how unpredictable the weather can be thanks to the influence of Lake Michigan. That’s why it’s so important to store temperature- and humidity-sensitive items in a climate-controlled unit.

Unlike a standard unit’s environment, which fluctuates with the weather, a climate-controlled unit maintains a stable environment all year long for wooden furniture, vinyl records, documents, and other delicate items. Can’t decide how much space you’ll need? You can always consult our unit size guide, or ask our team of friendly storage experts for assistance.
