Im afraid I dont know the Argenta Tower.

Agree with you on the "star" comment.... Ive found the system to be quite unreliable in many destinations, and Buenos Aires is no exception.

As for the Claridge, I think it depends greatly on the room you get, thats been my experience with comments Ive gotten from people that have stayed there.
