room maintenance


Explanation:
Agreed. Need more context, although with what we've got I would plump for 'room' rather than 'apartment'. It's a hotel room -unless if we're talking about a self-catering studio apart-hotel type room...

agree  Rick_Copeland: "Under Maintenance" is probably the best of all choices here, IMO. Assuming, as it seems, that this is a sign on an apartment that is undergoing maintenance.
