unexceptionable
Beyond any criticism
Unexceptionable means beyond criticism or objection—so correct or proper that no one could reasonably find fault: His credentials were unexceptionable.
The word is formal and somewhat rare.
Often confused with unexceptional (ordinary, unremarkable), but the meanings are nearly opposite: unexceptionable behavior is flawless; unexceptional behavior is merely average.
