The core is pretty average magnitude, and the tail would be even less so... it would be easy for you to miss the tail, I think. I've tried to find it before with no luck, but the western sky near me is pretty well light-polluted. If you have a pair of binoculars you might try that.
Hale-Bopp was very pretty. I think it's spoiled me for comets.
