I have a small portable air conditioner which I only use once in awhile instead of putting it outside the window of the room can I just put it in the room at the window? TIA,, Frank

No. The part that hangs outside pumps HEAT.

Also, you'll end up with a huge pool of water on the floor.
Yes, there's that, too!

thank you very much
Sure!
What are you trying to accomplish?
Why? If level, the water will evaporate. Window ACs should not drip.
It depends on the humidity indoors. I've had a couple of window units in which the condensate gets splashed on the the condenser by the fan. Most of the time, it evaporates from the condenser without dripping.
But when it's really humid indoors, there is so much condensate per hour that some of it ends up dripping from the outside end of the unit.
