Answer: No. It describes something as faultless or of an exceptionally high standard.
Make strong praise specific
A host remembers every guest’s name, speaks courteously and handles interruptions with tact. A guest praises the host’s impeccable manners.
Think it through: What does the noun “manners” help the reader understand?
Check the explanation
It identifies the particular quality being praised as faultless. This is more precise than implying the host is perfect at everything. Impeccable expresses a very high judgment, so the examples should support that strength.
