The least expensive hotel in Fort-de-France has everything you need for a simple stay. The air conditioning works (important), the manager/owner is very friendly and holds your bags for the day after checking out, the hot water works, dishes for buying food at a grocery and eating in. Basically, everything you need for a comfortable, "budget" stay. Nothing luxurious. It is exactly what I was looking for and it is what I got. For Euro 20 a ride can be arranged to the airport (usual price on the meter is Euro 25). I traveled alone, but if traveling with someone and sharing expenses it would be a great deal.
