Your air ducts inside the dash are not connected and or mode door actuators are not working.
My first guess would be that someone has installed an aftermarket stereo or alarm/remote start and left something disconnected.
If dash has not been touched, I would think mode door actuators as these are common failure parts.
Both heater hoses getting hot indicates the cooling system is working as it should and the issue is under the dash.

CAUTION
Check all fluid levels and adjust as needed, before operating vehicle for extended periods at idle.
1.Start the engine.
2.Idle the engine until the thermostat opens (upper radiator hose will be hot) Is the engine at normal operating temperature (approx. 200� F)? If yes, go to the next step. If no, go to step 16.
3.Set the mode selector to FLOOR mode.
4.Set the heater control selector to the warmest temperature setting.
5.Set the blower speed the lowest setting.
6.Carefully feel the inlet and outlet heater hoses at the heater core. Is the inlet heater hose significantly hotter than the outlet heater hose? If yes, go to step 14. If no, go to the next step.
