FWIW, I've never heard of this before, even being active on several travel forums.
What's the cancellation policy?
If it were me, and I could still cancel, and there were other decent options, I'd cancel and stay elsewhere just on principle.
If there are no other options, at least cancel and then rebook and call within 2 days to delete the insurance.
If it's too late to cancel, I'd call the Manager and ask him to remove the insurance. If he won't, take it up with the credit card company.
