They all were excellent! Super friendly, efficient, and organized which is everything you need on a stressful day. They made moving easy and I would gladly use them again!
I was taken care of by Solomon, Jessica, and 2 recruits! They made my move from a second floor office space (with stairs) completely seamless. They were also very affordable, which was a relief.

Negative Bellhop Moving Reviews
Yelp
I ended up getting a bill that was nearly TWICE the amount that I should've paid. My move took 5.5 hours but they charged me for 9 hours.
Yelp
I'm blaming it on inexperience and they were probably just too young to know how to properly pack a moving truck.
Yelp
The second time I had them scheduled, they called less than 24 hours prior to move that they would not be able to fulfill the order and cancelled.
