Toledo Ohio Commodore Perry Hotel November 22 1956 Police Were Called 

Coincidentally, I saw and shook hands with Elvis that day (or the day before). My twin sister and I were 4-years-old when my father stopped to get gas on Glendale Rd. in Toledo. My dad got out of the car to talk to the guy in the next lane. That guy came over and stuck his head in our car, shook our hands and told us he was a twin too! That guy was Elvis Presley!

I found the video of haunted Toledo that went in there..a must watch video..thanks again for your videos on Elvis

Thanks for this. I have lived in the Commodore for 12 years and the Elvis story is well known here. Al Capone stayed in the building as well. I've heard about the other floors but they have always been blocked off to the public. The large mural in the lobby came from one of those floors about 8 years ago.

Thanks for the info I'm from and live in Toledo Ohio i never heard that story

Thanks for highlighting my home town, Toledo!

I know alot of people don't like elvis but I grew up on elvis & I just love the man good or bad ( everyone has flaws ) He was so amazing & had a great & wonderful voice & was a very caring & giving man. The one & only & no one will ever replace his greatness.

The old buildings are so cool. Nice video 👍🏻😎

It's always fun to explore these Elvis sites with The Spa Guy! After hearing all these stories about Elvis, turns out he was a real bad ass! Thanks for all your thorough reseach.

Great story. Two thumbs up for trying to get to the Shalamar room. Thanks for the newspaper clipping about the fight. Of course Elvis "was no slouch"! He's the KING!

Wow too bad we can't get food for that cheap nowadays lol. Thank you for sharing with us about Elvis.

I am from Toledo and spend much time in downtown. From my understanding the 2-4 floors of the Commodore Perry are covered in asbestos.

Holy Toledo .. what a story 😏 thanks Billy ..

I hope they keep that hotel like that, I hate when they update historic buildings......thank you for the video!

I live here in toledo i never knew that our city is small not too many ppl come here nowadays but thanks to promedica concert series we get a little bit of traffic

Still trying to wrap my head around the reason anyone would just walk up to a performer and want to punch him!? People can be seriously crazy! Glad Elvis knew how to defend himself! No wonder he had Red West accompanying him in the early days as well as the MM after that. A good reason for his being so into karate. 🥰🕺🏻🎶⚡️🥰🥋

wow not heard this story before - thanks for the information and keeping Elvis's legacy alive xXx

Very interesting I love the old hotels like that that reminds me of the Peabody hotel here in Memphis very interested

My friend’s mother, father and sister with boyfriend were there. I sent him this link. Yes sir. Heard all about. It was the evening and not thanksgiving.

Awesome story. You teach us something new about Elvis all the time. Thank you for sharing.

Great find. Your diligence is appreciated~

You mess with the King,,you're goin down!! Elvis brings it! :) Fun story and location look SG and GTT. Thanks again.

Thanks for another great video very interesting! Hopefully next time you can get on the second and third floors of that hotel, I hope they restore it because its Elvis history. Good work guys!

Thanx for this video Spa Guy and Trey ❤ this place is huge, great story and Scotty helping out Elvis tells a lot.

Thanks Guys for this story very interesting. I am going to watch some more of your videos. :)

Thanks Billy and Trey for another great story, very interesting information about Elvis!

Great video, and I didn’t know about this fight, so learned something new …thank you ❤️

Toledo has been in bad shape for a long time so it's really neat to hear old stories like this and to imagine this city back in those days. I believe my grandpa was at the Thanksgiving show at the Sports Arena which is also really cool to imagine.

If you read Scotty Moore's THAT'S ALRIGHT, ELVIS, Scotty describes the November 1956 fight with the 19-year-old in detail on page 133. Scotty states the railing was "besides steps" and "I jumped on his back...he actually threw me over the railing." Evidently, the fall wasn't very far, and "Elvis was absolutely using him as a punching bag." In 1997 I met Scotty and D.J. Fontana and handed them a newspaper account or Elvis' two shows in Louisville just days before leaving for Toledo. My wife had attended the Sunday matinee at the Louisville Armory sitting a few rows in front of Elvis. At the mention of the word Toledo they both rolled their eyes and started laughing. D.J. told me, "Oh I remember Toledo all right!"

Thank you Spa Guy and Trey, I love these stories and appreciate both of you for bringing them

Hello from England Crazy story I have commented about all the guys protecting ELVIS in case he ever was unlucky to get into situations he could not get out of even back with Scotty and this hotel! Thanks both for another informative video. Such a huge place and a great echo chamber in the reception area!. Great place to sing in (I belong to a local community choir and love singing. Stairwells are good acoustics you get a great sound

As always, very informative video. Too bad you couldn't get more cooperation while you were there. Elvis information matters! ❤️😊

I'm an ex cop n I love Elvis, I would have said Elvis, I got this bro and I would have taken that trash out. I would have told Elvis, I know you didn't need my help but I love you bro and I it is an honor to help you out.

Thank you Billy (and Trey) for another look back. Happy Holidays to you both and your families. God Bless.

Awesome!!!!! Thank you for this video!!!!❤️❤️❤️

This story tells me elvis can take care of hisself glad you and trey find great information of elvis back in the day

Cool Elvis story. My money would always be on Elvis in a fight. It seemed like in his early days somebody was always trying to pick a fight with him for whatever reason.

What a shame the Commodore Perry Hotel /apartments are not in good shape and accessible. Great part of the Elvis History Mr. Spa Guy and Mr. Trey. I pray that you and yours had a great Thanksgiving. Be safe and well. Lord bless.

O meu lindo ficou muito bravo mesmo 😉... Não incomodem ele... I love Elvis Presley, forever in my heart 😂.

I worked for the company that owns this now. Monarch is the name of the company. It's now used as an apartment building. There's an entire abandoned floor that's said to be haunted. We've had residents who used to live on that floor who would see there dining room chairs pushed into a circle as if the ghosts were having a meeting. Short after the floor was abandoned. They don't sell or lease anything on that floor.

Elvis didn't give no crap and Elvis didn't take any. And that's the rest of the story.

What a Great Memory of Elvis. Hopefully the Owners will restore the Building Sections not used to the original look. Thanks Billy and Trey.

Thank You

Yes, back in the '50s (and possibly earlier) the Commodore Perry Hotel was a very exciting and beautiful place to go in Toledo, Ohio. CP had lots of entertainment, great dining, dancing, and shopping. It was very famous back-in-the-day and the entire town (and even neighboring towns) enjoyed CP and people of all ages and ethnicities. My mother shared with me some very exciting experiences she had at CP and including the fight (and show) that Elvis Presley had. Unfortunately, it took a couple of decades before EP returned to Toledo, OH. I think he returned in 1977.

Hi Billy. Not sure if you are aware of Robert Alaniz or not. He has been huge into Elvis since the 60s and is responsible for the record price guide that comes out every five years. He does a RU-vid show called "Collecting the King" In the last episode they brought you up and I think would make for a GREAT interview. He is really important in the Elvis world.

Elvis presley whooped his butt

Awesome history Billy. That guy in the management office needs to tighten up. Hopefully, you guys will be able to go back and have access to document the Shalimar Room bar asap.

Elvis didn’t have to pay to impress girls. Lol that’s funny!

Cool 😀

Oh Billy you are so charming I’m surprised the man didn’t let you up there. Billy there was a commodore perry hotel in Austin Texas. My friends daddy was the manager of it when I was a young teen ager. It had a fifth floor swimming pool and we used to go swim there. Her family lived in the penthouse apartment I think it was. That was probably 60 yrs ago. It was beautiful where she lived. They used to serve us Shirley temples out on the pool side. In glass glasses too. But we had to sit still and drink them. As I’m sure so we wouldn’t break them. But it was a beautiful hotel. I have no idea if the hotel is still in downtown Austin.

Can you imagine someone being jealous of a crush on a star. It happens all the time. I’m glad she dumped him. We’d all like to have been Elvis’s girl. But there’s fun and there’s reality. I’m glad he didn’t get into trouble. Thanks both of you for all the work you do. I always watch but can’t always comment because I’m suffering from an illness and there are days I can only watch. I so enjoy your detective work.

Hahahaha! 200 dollars... to impress the girls. Now "that" is hysterical!

There u go again . with another great investigation..lol. thank you guys..be safe

I did smoke grass once, BUT I DIDN'T INHALE

I believe he handled himself !

Imagine the man falling off that balcony 😯... Ooch.....Elvis weren't just a singer 👊... I brought the oct 1979 Fighters magazine with Elvis on the front. I'm sure you have the same in the Tigerman Karate museum thanks Spaguy n Trey 👍 🙏

Get’em E! People always say, why did Elvis have all the guys around all the time? Here is the reason. Of course this wasn’t the only time someone took a swing at Elvis. So I can see why he needed the guys around all the time, jealous boyfriends and husbands.

So lucky that guy wasn't packing heat......

✨👋🏻 boy that pisses me off I’m sure Elvis was pissed off too that guy trying to potentially kill a friend ; throwing somebody over a railing? Who knows what that could’ve done to Scotty . Billy , hope things are going well just wondering if you plan to watch the Beatles documentary on Disney+ ? About halfway through part one there was the Beatles talking or referencing Elvis, respecting “the king“ something like that. I’m wondering if you might enjoy doing an Elvis related video and talk about any connections he may have to The Beatles? God bless you and your family and Trey and have a great Christmas :)

If the elevator wouldn't stop on the floors they will probably do in construction

I wonder what on those floors?? I wish I'd thought about the stairs when we stayed at the hotel in dayton I was trying to get off on the floor elvis stayed on, but the elevator wouldn't go there....

Funny about 10 years ago I was driving bye and a fist fight rolled out of that appointment building maybe Elvis made them do it

Good job Spa Guy this story was crazy. 200.00 to start a fight....lol

Louis John Balint is my father.. I know the true story. Also he was thrown over the banister by my father...

Not too far away from me SpaGuy

Olá SPA Guy , gosto muito dos seus vídeos , de ver e de ouvir essas histórias que aconteceram com Elvis por aí , mas faltou a tradução porque eu não entendo o seu idioma , falo muito bem a meu idioma que e o português , deu para entender que Elvis esteve hospedado nesse hotel em novembro de 1956 , só não consegui entendero porquê da polícia ter sido acionada . O QUE SERÁ QUE O NOSSO QUERIDO REI DO ROCK. ANDOU APRONTANDO POR AÍ ?????kkkk

When Elvis played Grenada, MS "Red's first night working as Elvis' security" during Bob Neal mgmt timeframe..... Red knocked out Mr. Lyons during a confrontation..... same night after the show Elvis took a photo of my mom out of her purse and Kept it... these people are still alive if you wish to interview them about either of the two mentioned incidences...

I know the true story about the fight. Louis john Balint is my father.

Elvis paying $200 to impress girls😂. What a waste of 💰!

Why wouldn't they let people go to those particular floors?

Couldn't building manager escort you to the former Shalamar restaurant area?

I live in Toledo Ohio and would love to meet you and hear Elvis story’s maybe would you like to meet up for lunch

❤️ xoxoxo Val

👍

If I had known you guys were going to be in my neck of the woods I could have taken you out to lunch or something!

Did you happen to run into Klinger?
