Narrative:
A bonanza landed runway 24L; I instructed him to turn left onto delta; left onto runway 36 and right onto hotel. He missed hotel and crossed back over runway 24L. Aircraft on about a 2 mile final. As aircraft is crossing runway 24L he asks me if this is hotel. I instructed him to turn left on echo and hold short of runway 24L. I taxied him back across runway 24L after the arrival. During my years at day this has happened many times that I know of. Hotel is close to runway 24L; so after they make the turn onto runway 36 and pass hotel; runway 24L is right there. There is also no sign letting the pilot know that the taxiway off to his right is hotel. You have to be on hotel before you see the taxiway sign. It would be nice if this could be marked. We use this taxi route all the time with no markings for it. Have the airport install taxiway marking signs for hotel taxiway.
