My room overlooks at the interior of the complex.

My room looks at the interior of the complex.

My room faces the interior patio of the complex.

My room looks at the interior patio of the complex.

My room seems the interior patio of the complex.

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if I could use all the following sentences:

My room overlooks the interior of the complex.

Yes.

My room overlooks at the interior of the complex.

No.

My room looks at the interior of the complex.

It's grammatical, but faces the interior or looks out at the interior would be more natural.

My room faces the interior patio of the complex.

It would be fine if patios weren't outdoors.

My room looks at the interior patio of the complex.

Again, faces is more natural, and patios are outdoors.

My room seems the interior patio of the complex.

No. Do you mean sees? That wouldn't be very good, either.
So no, you can't use all of them.

Also, remember that overlooks means looks down upon.

There! That's just right!

By using the word "overlooks" it is not meant that rooms can see things. It's simply about the location of the room. (I wouldn't use any of the others.)
