in certain hotels, I lay the the clothes on the ac unit to dry or hang out the window after rinsing(I know, ghetto)then I stuff in the laundry bags found in the closets with dryer sheets I bring for home
...works great for me but I did have a captain once lay out his running shorts and shirt on the airplane dashboard(I think that's what it's called) to dry. The flight deck smelled like a wet hamper, not the most considerate captain

If you need to dry out running shoes, crumple up newspaper and stuff it inside the shoes, remove paper a few hours later.

SCREW THESE FOOLS and thier asinine suggestions. You want to not worry about your workout clothes? Do what I do- work out NAKED! Butt and I do mean BUTT........you have to wait until the wee hours of the morning. ;} And hope no hotel staff catches you.
Lemme know how this works out for you. Modesty is so overatted.

Like others have said, synthetic materials that wick moisture are key. A little trick I learned is hose them down in the shower and microwave the clothes for 30 seconds at a time. (Make sure there is no metal zippers on the clothing unless you want an amateur laser light show..don't ask how I know that). If there's no microwave, the blow dryer works really well too(it's how I heat my food sometimes when there is no microwave). I also keep dryer sheets in a zip lock bag and each day will take out a new one and roll or fold my clothes around the dryer sheet. The dryer sheet coupled with dry clothes makes all the difference.

I lay the (sink) washed clothes out on the folding luggage rack and drag that in the bathroom. Prop up the dryer (shoes or fit handle into tissue holder) and leave it on high.
I can usually corner the stand in there so I can shut the door so I don't have to listen to it. This will dry your clothes in under an hour.

This is hilarous to me. First because i've tried them all. And second, because we sound like bunch old granmas exchanging recipes.......anyhow, one last suggestion, after washing them -specially if in short overnight-, place them in hanger and prop it on the wall unit vent. That way you don't have to use anything that might distract you while you're trying to sleep, and you still get the ventilation to dry your item and cool/heat you. Also if it is a low wall unit, i use a large black paper clip/clamp. Good luck.
