seediness
Run-down hotel atmosphere
Seediness is the quality of being shabby, disreputable, or run-down.
A neighborhood's seediness shows in its cracked sidewalks and boarded windows.
A person's seediness suggests moral or physical deterioration—unkempt appearance, questionable associations.
The hotel had a certain seediness that made us check the locks twice.
The word derives from plants gone to seed, past their prime.
