Default Can I Use a 120V Appliance with a 220V Socket?

I have a broken air conditioner that plugs into my 220V USA wall socket. Its prongs look quite different from typical 120V appliance prongs. Before next summer I'd like to buy a 120V portable room air conditioner. Is there a converter available that
would allow me to safely plug the 120V 3-prong socket portable air conditioner into the 220V outlet? Thanks.

Why not buy a 240v unit so you don't have to rework/run new wires?
