Granbury Square Flat Bed & Breakfast

I’ve stayed here twice and I love it. The place is beautiful — and unique. It’s above a store on the square. You walk into a steep, old staircase, which I loved. You walk up and it opens into the flat. There are huge windows on the front and back of the place. You have your view of the square and the historic courthouse. The hardwood floors are gorgeous. You get a full kitchen — which is beautiful — all blue and white tiles. There are two beds — a king sized bed and a smaller bed that sits in a small loft. Just so unique. Both beds are very comfortable.
Your complimentary breakfast is a voucher for a restaurant across the square.
I had no problems whatsoever dealing with the owner or his wife — my stay was completely stress free and enjoyable.
I also find the price extremely reasonable.

The place may look nice — but don’t bother. It’s not worth the headache of dealing with the owner to book this place.
Originally I had a lovely interaction with owner, Harold Secker on the phone, who took my credit card information and reservations to book the room, which was for my groom, a mature man of 43 years of age for the night before our wedding. We wanted a nice quiet out of the way place for him to stay with his brother and we thought the Granbury Square Flat would be ideal for him as it looked spacious, quiet and close to the Inn on Lake Granbury where the wedding is taking place. Not to mention just a short walk from the rehearsal dinner location at Stringfellows. Harold was very sweet and couldn’t have been nicer to work with. I explained that it would just be he and his brother who is in his mid-​thirties who would be the only ones staying and that my groom and his three groomsmen would use the flat to get dressed before the wedding. I didn’t think it would be an issue, as none of them drink, smoke, or have children. Harold couldn’t have been any nicer to work with and I told him that we would contact him the month before to confirm our reservations and we ended our conversation.
An hour later I received a insolent call from Harold’s wife, Emily Secker who tried to cancel the reservations. Before I could even inquire as to why, she went on an angry tear about how she didn’t want the bridesmaid spilling wine, leaving the place a mess, children running around and people coming and going. I had to raise my voice just to break in and pause /​interrupt her and to ask what she was talking about. She said her husband made a mistake and that the flat is not for functions or large gatherings. I asked who’s having a function or large gathering at the flat, and she said we were.
I explained to her that there’s no function or gathering taking place in her flat, that the groom and his brother would be staying Friday night and getting ready there on the Saturday afternoon before heading over to the wedding (5 blocks away) with two other groomsmen (one of which is the groom’s 65 year old father). After a ton of reassuring she relented and begrudgingly agreed to rent the room, but it was obvious she was not happy to do it.
The next morning I received an email from Emily Secker canceling our reservations. It was obvious she had made her mind up and was convinced since the person staying in her place was part of a wedding that there would be people running around in and out and God know what else, even though the whole wedding party, family /​friends are staying 5 blocks away at the Inn on Lake Granbury.
Needless to say, the entire interaction we had with the owner, Emily Secker, was shocking to say the least. This individual is grossly lacking in people skills and has no business dealing with the public, let alone offering accommodations in which she doesn’t want anyone to stay in. We found the entire interaction with Emily to be completely unprofessional and disrespectful.
If you should ever decide to stay at this woman’s place and are attending, God forbid — a wedding or some event — be careful not to breath a word about it.
