Narrative:
Taxiing to the gate after landing, we were told to hold short of taxiway C5 and to switch to ground control frequencys at that time. I was able to locate taxiway C5 on the airport diagram, but inadvertently taxied past it. Contributing to my error was the lack of an identing sign for the taxiway. All other txwys in the area were marked with a sign. I was looking for the 'C5' sign as we went past the point that we were supposed to hold short of.
