Misspelling of "corriente", I would imagine.
In Mexico, the meaning of "corriente" usually leans more towards "cheap" or "low quality" than "ordinary", but it will depend on the context.
Perhaps "it's not so cheap looking" or "it's a bit more classy" is the sense.
VI 1 adj m y f Que es común, que no sobresale, que es de baja calidad: zapato corriente, vestido corriente 2 adj m y f Que es vulgar en su trato: un hombre muy corriente

It's not usual to find such a pleasant place (?) so near.

Another possibility. It's a shot in the dark as I can't find any referrences for the word and from the context, it could be a variety of things, and any of the answers above.
The nearest word I can find is "corrillo" so it could be related, as in "corrillo" + suffix "ento".
Defintion of "corillo";
corrillo(Derivado de corro.)
s. m. Grupo de personas que en una reunión o en un sitio concurrido hablan entre ellas apartadas de las demás ¿de qué hablan en ese corrillo? cerco, círculo, corro.

Traducciones
corrillo; clique, coterie, huddle
corrillo SM (= grupo) → huddle, small group (pey) → clique, coterie

It seems to me that the meaning has negative tones, in the first example the speaker is saying that a good thing is that in the workplace people are not cliquey, and in the second example the speaker is saying that one of the bad aspects of the workplace is that people are cliquey, other workers form closed groups.

Discussion
I have also just come across another example of "corrillento":
"No respetan horarios de comida, no dan los equipos para aplicar quimicos (guantes) son muy corrillentos nos traen a presión, "
The "stream of consciousness" idea fits what I am translating very well. There is little punctuation and what there is seems to have been put in randomly or even to confuse!
Que esta agradable, no es tan corrillento y que esta en un lugar cercano.
