I would give less than 1 star if I could. I wish I had read these reviews before renting here. Everyone's right, this place is full of rats, which I guess isn't surprising when you leave the door open 100% of the time. Our furniture is destroyed, our boxes have been tunneled in. We put our whole lives in there, and even things that are not literally destroyed are covered in rat droppings and urine. So basically, everything all of us own is covered in both fresh and dried vermin feces, which can give you the Hantavirus, which is potentially deadly. So, every time you try to rescue your stuff from this infested place, you are disturbing dried urine and feces, which if inhaled, could literally kill you. The worst part is, management doesn't care at ALL. We've been leaving messages with the district manager, calling every day or two, and there's been no response. The people who work at the actual facility are nice, but they can't do anything about it, so I don't blame them. Because of these reviews, we can all prove that they are neglectful of their responsibility to keep pests down, and that they've known about it for it looks like years, we can show that they're violating their contracts with us, I might just have to get a lawyer. $242 a month to feed and house rats is ridiculous. I can't get my memories back, or my furniture back, but I will be fighting so that this doesn't happen to more people.

Disgusting. We got a unit here pretty shortly after it opened. Within a few years, the place has become filthy. It smells terrible, especially on the 2nd floor where our unit is. And we just got our Christmas decorations out for the season to find our unit COVERED in rat feces. Not only that, but the rats ate through a box filled with my wife's childhood memorabilia. But hey, they reduced our rent by $10/month as a consolation. We're claiming it on our insurance, which I'm sure will be like pulling teeth, and then we're getting the hell outta there. Don't even waste your time or money looking here.

RENTER BEWARE!!!!!! I have held off for months writing this review, and from what I’ve read in the other reviews, not much I’m about to say will come as a surprise but I figured I’d atleast express my dissatisfaction in hopes that things will change. I left my last storage for the same reasons I’m about to list here. The entrance overhead door has been broken for months and stuck open which means anyone can access the facility and break into the units if they wanted to which is a massive security risk. The overhead door to exit is also broken and stuck shut which means on a busy day it is almost impossible to exit safely and creates big problem for movers. One of the elevators has been broken for months as well which on a busy day makes it a nightmare if you’re trying to access units on anything other than the first floor. They are down to only one cart for the whole building which is broken beyond usability (see photo attached photo). They were quick to raise my storage rent within the first couple months of renting from them to almost double what I agreed upon due to signing my contract. You would think that with all the money they are charging us by raising our rents they could fix everything that’s broken and clean the facility every once in a while considering it’s constantly FILTHY!!! But I suppose all that money goes towards paying the electric bill since that A/C is working overtime to cool a facility with a massive garage door stuck open 24/7 IN FLORIDA!!!!!! These are not “climate controlled units and they offer very little security since you can walk in whenever you want even if you are not a renter. Lastly one of the two bathrooms is out of order for months as well. Not hugely inconvenient but again, get it together guys. Very disappointing to see how little this facility is maintained for the obscene amount of money they are charging. It’s convenient for me because it’s right down the street from my house and I really don’t want to hassle with moving my stuff again, but if things don’t change soon, I will be forced to move my stuff out and find a facility that actually is worth the money I’m paying. As it stands, I would not recommend this place and highly suggest you look for another storage facility unless this place magically changes in the near future.

On any review I ALWAYS start with customer service. I had the pleasure of having Mrs. Ro and Ms. Nadia helping me through a crazy process of renting. I rented multiple storage and needed to change and the process of canceling and changing took time and patience because I did everything online. I had to return a few times because I was moving out another storage at another location and they really stepped up for me. Thank you for the help and patience. Now the storage location is great for me and I love that I can pull in and unload or load my things out of the rain or sun. Others have stated (with pictures) about waiting in line to park inside when it’s busy. I understand that but I just waited but you have the option to unload outside and bring your things in like other places. The AC is cold and the place is clean and the customer service in my experience was excellent. Thank you again RO and Nadia.

Luis P was our pick up driver. He was very kind and patient with us as we still had a few items to load. He was kind and funny and we have really appreciated all the helpful and kind staff that has been helping us through this very difficult move. I highly recommend 👌
