How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

This is a very late review of Walgreens at this location which is convenient being close to the light rail station. Until 2019 when I moved to Minnesota only use this Walgreens maybe two or three times over the years. The employees are nice and very professional never had issues buying anything at this Walgreens. It is definitely huge for what it offers, and what is nice is that the homeless don't bother you while you're shopping.

What an incredibly awful shopping experience I had at the local Walgreens I was harassed and constantly followed by a big giant security dude never once in my times here at this Walgreens have I ever been harassed by any of the security guards except for this time there is maybe a dozen or so people in the store but he chose to follow me around over anybody else while smirking. This is not reflect well.

Their security company is super creepy and will follow honest customers that shop there and I'm ready to file a civil suit on them.

I’ve been here multiple times for my medication and various other needs. Each time I have issues of some sort. I thought this was supposed to be convenient in the city. Consistently though has been a person named Amber. Always has a great attitude and honestly way more helpful than other employees that just look like the life has been sucked from their soul. Like smile? Also the management seems to be completely checked out.
