charmless
Without any allure
Charmless means lacking appeal, warmth, or engaging qualities.
A charmless person fails to win others over—cold, graceless, or simply dull.
A charmless building or town offers nothing inviting: The hotel was charmless but cheap.
The word carries mild contempt, suggesting not just absence of charm but a kind of off-putting blankness.
