unalluring
Lacking any charm
Unalluring means not attractive or appealing.
The word describes something that fails to draw interest or desire: The job offer, with its low pay and long hours, was distinctly unalluring.
It's a mild, somewhat formal way of saying unappealing without being as harsh as repulsive or ugly.
