Single Entry vs Motel Style Apartments?

Hi Everyone, do potential tenants prefer an apartment building that has a single main entry and a hallway?  Or do they prefer more of a motel style where every unit has its own external door?

Thanks!

@Ron Healy I'm guessing in Alaska that common space is going to take more of beating than it would hear in San Diego.  Just different weather and what you're tracking in when you open that common door.  Not to mention, if there's a lock what do you do when an undesirable tenant moves out?  Rekey and issue new keys to everyone?  That's probably going on your dime as well.
