“I recently visited the fuel dock in Marina del Rey and had a fantastic experience. Watching large yachts come in for refueling was impressive and exciting. The entire operation was handled with remarkable professionalism, precision, and efficiency. It was clear that the staff knew exactly what they were doing and took safety and customer service very seriously. The atmosphere around the marina was beautiful, and seeing these incredible vessels up close made the visit even more memorable. Everything was well organized, and the team worked smoothly to ensure each yacht was serviced quickly and professionally. Even as a visitor, I enjoyed every minute of the experience. Marina del Rey is a wonderful place, and this fuel dock is a great example of quality service. Highly recommended and absolutely deserving of 5 stars!”
“The lady behind the counter is always kind and patient with older customers. I don't know her name but she works at the MDR Walgreens, she's White, thin and in her mid to late 50's”
“I want to sincerely acknowledge Marquis at this Walgreens pharmacy for the consistently exceptional service he provides. Every time I’ve come in, he has been incredibly helpful, patient, professional, and kind. He goes out of his way to make things easier, answer questions clearly, and create a much more positive experience than people often expect in a busy pharmacy setting. What stands out most is that this has not been a one-time interaction. Marquis has shown the same level of care and attentiveness every single time I’ve been there, and that kind of consistency really matters. He brings a calm, respectful, genuinely supportive presence to his work, and it makes a real difference. Walgreens is lucky to have him. Thank you, Marquis, for being so excellent at what you do.”
“8/18/26. I wanted to highlight how incredible the Customer Service is at this location. I ran into Frank when I first walked in, and he went Above & beyond to help me out. While he was walking through the aisles, I asked for his help locating some items. He took me right over to them, stayed to chat, and even walked me to another item to suggest options and help me pick out the exact right one. He was incredibly professional, easy to talk to, super informative, and genuinely helpful. On top of that, Maria at the front counter is always amazing and brings such a great attitude every time I visit! It was only at the end of my visit that I found out Frank is actually one of the store managers, which makes total sense given his outstanding leadership and service. Thank you both! Amazing team, as always! 7/22/26 Fred and Marisol are superstars! I love writing reviews for this CVS because the staff never lets me down and today was no different. I need to give a huge shout out to Fred, A gentleman working near the pharmacy. He was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and patient, helping me find what I was looking for and even pointing me in the right direction to locate other items. Then he popped up right at the register to help out other customers! He is a keeper! Marisol was the absolute sweetest when ringing up my items. She was so patient while checking for coupons and helping me put in my phone number. This team goes above and beyond every single time. Best CVS staff around! Ladies Night Tonight!! I had the best experience tonight 6/3/26, around 7:30 PM! Two lovely ladies completely blew me away with their customer service. The woman in the makeup department was so nice, friendly, and answered all my questions while helping me pick out products. Then, maria at the checkout was an absolute Angel! She was so patient, adorable, and helped me figure out my coupons. She truly went above and beyond to make my night and has the sweetest most generous spirit. I love her! Highly recommend this location. Every time I come to this CVS in Marina del Rey, the employees are always so nice, helpful and amazing. On 9/28/25, a team member at self-checkout went above and beyond (wish I got his name!). Truly the best CVS staff around!”
“These reviews are all old and..quite frankly from people who don’t realize this Walgreens is literally crackhead ground zero at the corner of Washington/lincoln, this is no fault of the employees working there. I’ve used the pharmacy for 4 years, never and issue and all 3 of the pharmacists are nice/helpful. Also have never had an issue getting one of them on the phone. Temper your expectations people.”
“I was getting followed by a homeless man who was threatening me and I went into this chevron to get help. The cashier was absolutely amazing and told the man to go away, helped me call 911 and ultimately helped me out the back door to go across the street to the emergency room. If not for this cashier I don't think I'd be safe right now and who knows what would've happened. If I wasn't terrified to walk in that area again I would run back there tomorrow just to thank him. This man helped me more than he could ever know. Thank you”
“I know - pizza at 7-11 but for $10 it is better than 90% of the frozen pizzas and the cheese is better than that chain that is a "tile" game. Pepperoni is the way to go and have them make it fresh. It takes like 2 minutes in that fancy dancy oven.”
