Places autocomplete by lodging and location types

Question

I want Googles autocomplete suggestion to only list lodgings and locations. I've mostly been trying to get the lodging type to work however no suggestions ever appear.

When I remove ac_options from the autoComplete variable everything works fine but ofcourse none of the suggestions are narrowed down by a specific type.

    var ac_options = {
        types: ['lodging']
    };

    var input = document.getElementById(this.options.autoCompleteInputId);
    var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input, ac_options);

    //bind to input field
    autocomplete.bindTo('bounds', this.gmap);

I don't think lodging is valid option, as per following link...

You should try following instead...

in place of "pizza near" in example use "lodging"...:)
