Nouakchott is not a good place to be stranded in at night if you don't have money to pay for a camping spot in any of the auberges or manage to convince them to let you camp there for free... the church used to let people camp in their patio but don't anymore, and the beach is not very safe. The best strategy would probably be to ask at one of the police checkpoints just out of town if you might be allowed to crash out there for just one night. Nouakchott also has a healthy couchsurfing community who all seem to know each otherand it's quite easy to find a host there.
Auberge Africa escale was in an ok location, camping in your tent was 200ug, a AC room is 1000. It was a little basic, filled with mosquitos and and didn't have many western travellers. Auberge le triskell is much better for meeting other westerners and felt quite social. A rooftop berber tent with matrasses was 700ug
