One room in the house always warm, even in 15degree winter weather

The person now sleeping in that room has sleep apnea and best solution has been to keep the temperature at 69 degrees. That room cannot get to 69degrees even in the dead of winter.
Obviously we're going to switch back rooms, but the rooms are 20' down the hall from each other and one is climate controlled by the HVAC, that room is warm no matter what so it's not an HVAC issue. In fact, all the heat ducts have been blocked in that room so no heat should be going into it via the HVAC, the other room is cooler so it's not getting heat from there (both rooms are on the top floor of a townhouse), where is this heat coming from and how do we stop it?

What else borders the rooms? Rooms above garages tend to be cold and other factors like that come into play as well.
