English term or phrase: wisely impress
The Canterbury's two-story lobby wisely impresses, though it stops well short of ostentation, anchored by a baby grand and lit by a soft chandelier.

No entiendo bien que quiere decir con "wisely impress" porque si no entendí mal "stops well short of ostentation" es "NO dista mucho de ser ostentoso" o "no está lejos de la ostentación"...
Any suggestion?
