Mal hit it for portables. They work fine but are expensive/btu. Oh, find out how they handle condensation. Some use a tank, others try to exhaust it out the hose, or some combination. Depending on humidity the condensate can build quickly.
Measure the space available before deciding. You can find window-hung models oriented vertically. Also, there are horizontal 5-8K/btu window-hung models that aren't so wide. That'll be plenty for a bedroom. You'll pay 2-3x as much/btu for a portable unit.
