I am not into conventional spiritual methods like yoga or the typical meditation so in that regard, I have nothing to compare 889 to. I ended up here because my theatre group was treated to a day of activities at 889. The staff was friendly and showed us around. The place was very clean, smelled lovely and had a nice decor. I am a huge sniffer so I enjoyed taking in the beautiful blends of aromatherapy that lined the walls. We hung out, chatted, had some fresh fruits and a meditation session. It was really nice. The guy was attentive and helpful. We even met with a resident nutritionist and she was quite knowledgeable. I am not sure if they still have a nutritionist there though. Over all it was a great experience but we did go as a group. The best way to judge a good customer service is by how you are treated when you visit a place by yourself.
