VM logs will be in the below location.
vmfs/volumes/<VM_reside_datastore> / <VM_folder> / vmware.log

Before even you look into logs, what type of connection failure is some thing that you need to understand .
There are many ways to troubleshoot VM .
issue c could be with :
-->Console access
-->Network connection
-->Storage issue
