The Mitsubishi may be the way to go. There is an alternative roll-around unit (I call it R2D2 because of its appearance) which sits in the room, but it requires an exhaust vent and takes up floor space.
We had an R2D2 in our apartment in India. It was bulky, noisy and did not cool the room particularly well. Other than that, it was fine. I suggest careful research on this solution before investing in it.
