Lori Janicki at Morningstar FAT Village in fort Lauderdale was professional, knowledgeable, available, and the reason we chose this storage unit. After calling public storage, extra space storage and others, it was nice to get a person who could answer all of our questions at the actual site, versus a call center with little knowledge. Thank you so much Lori! ... Read more

I rent 2 units and am very pleased, thanks to Lori, the manager. Under the last owner, the facility was dirty, had homeless people around and was terrible in billing issues. Lori has completely turned everything around - it's 180 degrees better! She is extremely competent and professional and if I have any issue, she's always resolved it quickly and cheerfully! Morningstar is lucky to have Lori!! ... Read more

We have had a storage unit at Morning Star since they opened, and we have been in different-sized units. The prices are competitive and the service is excellent. My husband has called a few times with questions, and Lori has always been the one to help him out. I recently had to visit our unit to switch to a new size, and Lori was kind enough to explain the process and go out of her way to help. We've used other facilities in the past, but we prefer this company and location primarily for the customer service experience and cleanliness. ... Read more

I’ve been with Morningstar Storage for years and have always had a great experience. The facility is clean, reliable, and easy to work with. What truly sets it apart, though, is the people, especially Lori. She helped me find a unit when I was in a pinch and made the whole process seamless. Lori is always kind, professional, and goes out of her way to follow up and make sure everything is going smoothly. She even remembers me when I come by and asks about my daughter, which shows how much she genuinely cares. Morningstar Storage has been outstanding, and Lori makes it even better! ... Read more

I’ve had a unit with Lori and Morningstar for quite some time — large units, small units, multiple units, and now back to just one. Throughout the changes, Lori has been exceptional. The first half of my year brought its share of challenges, and Lori went above and beyond — accommodating, understanding, compassionate, and genuinely sincere. More than just a storage manager, she’s been a friend. Her communication is unparalleled, her customer service is second to none, and she always puts the client’s needs first. She keeps you informed about rate changes, offers money-saving opportunities, and ensures transparency at every step. The facility itself is immaculate, with zero issues — the gate, doors, elevators, and overall upkeep are flawless. I’ve used many facilities over the years, and none compare. If you want a secure, well-run storage facility in a great location — and a manager who truly cares — this is it. Thank you, Lori, for your professionalism, kindness, and friendship. ... Read more

I cant say enough about Steve, and how incredibly helpful he was. Including staying after hours on a Saturday in order to ensure our unit was able to be moved into over the weekend. We were so grateful for his patience and understanding during a time when nothing else was going right for us. Thank you Steve! I would recommend using Morningstar for any of your storage needs, and if top notch customer service is what you're looking for then go see Steve! ... Read more

Was only here a short time, but Lori was incredibly helpful during my time there. She made the check in process quick, made sure I had everything I needed, and answered any questions I had. When it was my time to go, she made it even easier and helped out in a way most wouldn't. She is amazing!! The facility is safe and clean, very well maintained compared to most in the area. Would deff come back in the future if I ever need storage again. :) ... Read more

Renting a storage unit at Morningstar Storage was the most pleasant, easy and efficient storage unit I have ever rented.

GATE DAMAGED MY CAR, DO NOT GO HERE. Yesterday I opened the gate as I do at every storage I've been to and the gate hit the front of my car ripping off THE BRAND NEW WRAP I HAD PUT ON 2 WEEKS AGO. IT IS A $7500 DOLLAR JOB. I called and left a voicemail and have not gotten a response. As you can see it says the gate opens towards you but the is very narrow and I positioned myself to get as close to the terminal where you enter the code. They should advise you to get out of your car. I'm beyond upset and I will never be returning to this location again. ... Read more

If you are looking and in the need of a quality storage facility then Morningstar storage is the place you need to go. It's located in a very safe clean and quiet neighborhood they have a top-notch surveillance security system.. everything is under air conditioning.. depending on the time of year they run a lot of promotions and I got my storage unit for half of what I was being quoted by others in facilities that were nowhere near what this facility offers... Lori the manager and Steve her assistant are professional courteous and kind.. they also offer vehicle storage as well.. you can call for a free quote and they will reserve a unit for you or you can go online to do the same.. so if you're in need of a storage unit bring your business here.. you won't be disappointed.. sincerely Paul???? ...

All of my dealings with the staff have been extremely positive. It is not unusual for first timers or even old timers to have a bunch of questions concerning the rental. I'm sure the staff hears the same ones over and over. The staff is always patient, polite and thorough with their answers. The place is very clean and well lit. Morningstar Management made the decision to offer 24/7 access times. Well done! ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

Depending on what you need to put away in storage, you can discover there are some things you absolutely need, so make sure you check with the facility manager that you'll find everything you need on site.

You already know how much stuff you need to put in self storage, so figuring out the unit size you need is the next step. Smaller units such as 5'x5' or 5'x10' spaces can usually be filled with the amount of items you would normally store in a closet: a few chairs and lamps, sports equipment, garden tools and some boxes.

Moving on to larger sizes, imagine the 10'x10' and 10'x15' units as similar to a bedroom or a living room – larger pieces of furniture, sturdier equipment and bicycles can fit here. Finally, a 10'x20' unit has enough space for the contents of a 3-bedroom house, while the larger 10'x30' space easily accommodates the contents of a loaded semi-truck.

Accessibility and quickness are key when it comes to storage, so drive-up storage units are generally regarded as very convenient. Pull your car right up to your storage space, load, unload, and you're good to go! However, if you're mostly storing temperature-sensitive items, you should rather consider indoor storage units.

Climate-controlled units maintain consistent temperatures and humidity levels all year round, making them perfect for all your sensitive items. Moisture and varying temperatures can damage a whole host of things, and that is why a lot of people choose to use climate-controlled units to store items like wooden furniture, electronics, artwork, documents and photographs, collectibles, antiques, etc. If the belongings you're storing are important to you, you should consider renting a climate-controlled unit.
